Noontime Nuggetz: Big Star, “Thank You Friends”
Like many others around the world last night, we were saddened to learn that Alex Chilton, who sang in The Box Tops and co-founded Big Star before embarking on a fairly wild solo career, has passed away. Chilton wrote some of our favorite songs — and sang a bunch of other favorites in his later career — and he is survived by a legacy of recordings that, if you haven’t heard ‘em, you really should. The above is one of them, from Big Star’s Third/Sister Lovers.
