That's very sad,his voice was what made The Boxtops,nobody could sing The Letter better than he could although many tried.

Yes, RIP Alex Chilton. The Letter by the Boxtops will always be a strong memory of my early years, playing.

Thirteen by Big Star is one of my favorite songs ever. I am very sad to hear of his passing and I now have the intention of covering this song someday. How sad.
