The Box Tops

The Box Tops were an American rock band, formed in Memphis in 1963. They are best known for the hits "The Letter", "Cry Like a Baby", and "Soul Deep" and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James & Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, pop tunes such as "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the power pop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist, during which he occasionally performed songs he had sung with the Box Tops.

The Box Tops' music combined elements of soul music and light pop. Their records are prime examples of the styles made popular by Moman and Penn at American Sound Studio in Memphis. Many of their lesser known Top 40 hits, including "Neon Rainbow", "I Met Her in Church", and "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March", are considered minor classics. As rock critic Lester Bangs wrote in a review of the group's Super Hits album, "A song like 'Soul Deep' is obvious enough, a patented commercial sound, yet within these strictures it communicates with a depth and sincerity of feeling that holds the attention and brings you back often."

Fields Of Clover

by: Box Tops

You're walkin' in fields of clover
I hear you finally made it to the classy side of town
It made me sad, got to feelin' bad, 'til I thought it over
And now I'm alright 'cause you're alright
Baby, baby, I know you're sleepin' warm tonight
Oh, you crossed the tracks in a hurry, yes you did
You didn't even stop to tell me goodbye, yea
But them pretty dresses that you're wearin', baby
Are payment enough, you're sure lookin' tough
I always told you, ah that you had the stuff, yea, yea
Baby, you're walkin' in fields of clover
You're steppin' high like a lady should
Now maybe someday you'll wave to me from across the tracks, yea
And I'll be alright knowing you're alright, baby, baby
