This time, they perform the timeless Memphis hit, "I'm Your Puppet." Written by Spooner and Dan Penn, the song reached the top of the charts in 1966 as performed by James and Bobby Purify, earning them a Grammy nomination along the way. The following year, local garage band The Box Tops, led by a precocious, 16-year-old Alex Chilton, were working with Spooner and Penn at Chips Moman's American Sound Studios in Memphis. The group recorded their own timeless take on the song, including it on their debut album, Neon Rainbow/The Letter.
