The Box Tops are a ground breaking 1960s group made up of
five
friends from Memphis Tennessee who first charted in 1967
with a song called 'The Letter,' which like most of their other
songs from the 1960s was recorded at Chips Moman's "American"
recording studio and was produced by Dan Penn. In fact they were
the first Memphis artists to record in Memphis and have a number
one record! During 1967-69, the group released 4 albums
(excluding their "Super Hits" album) and 10 singles. 'The
Letter' remained at the top of Billboard's chart for four weeks
in 1967; their third single, 'Cry Like A Baby,' hit the number
two position for two weeks in 1968. Both records went gold at
initial release, with 'The Letter' selling over four million
copies and 'Cry Like A Baby' over two million.
