Alex Chilton, whose raspy voice powered huge hits like "The Letter" with the Box Tops in the 60s, died Wednesday at the age of 59. Chilton had been complaining of health problems earlier in the day, and was taken to a hospital by paramedics from his home in New Orleans, but they were unable to revive him. Chilton was set to play Saturday at Austin's South by Southwest, a festival that showcases indie rock, a genre the Memphis-born singer-songwriter pretty much invented.
