The letter. Songwriter Wayne Carson Thompson wrote the song after his father gave him the line, "Give me a ticket for an aeroplane." Thompson played guitar on the recording. He didn't like the singing, believing the lead vocal was too husky, and wasn't fond of the production either. The addition of the jet sound "didn't make sense" to him. When producer Dan Penn added the airplane sound to the recording, Wayne Carson Thompson clearly thought that Penn had lost his mind. He hadn't - several weeks later it became one of the biggest records of the '60s, The Box Tops were headed by16-year-old Alex Chilton,
Great band all songs are good
