Alex Chilton (December 28, 1950 - March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer. He gained popularity as a teen vocalist for the Box Tops in the 1960s. Although his commercial success declined later on, Chilton remained influential in the indie and alternative music scenes.
Chilton's talent shone through his work with bands like the Box Tops and Big Star. His contributions as a songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer left a lasting impact on pop music.
Despite not achieving the same level of commercial success as he did in his early years, Chilton developed a devoted following within the indie and alternative music communities. His unique style and artistic vision continue to inspire musicians today.

Ace Records Spotlight

Back In Stock

Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of the chart-topping box tops entered ardent studios in Memphis to make an album. He was a couple of years away from forming big star, but these, his first solo recordings - eventually released in the 1990s as 1970 - display the same skills and idiosyncrasies that would characterise his career right up until his untimely death in 2010.

The album, originally slated for either the Atlantic label or the Beach Boys' Brother Records, features a diverse range of mostly original material by Chilton, including the commercial "Free Again", the proto-Big Star sound of "Something Deep Inside", and the sublime ballads "Every Say As We Grow Closer" and "The EMI Song".&nbsp;
