The Letter" was a hit for Alex Chilton's group The Box Tops in 1967. Two years later, The Arbors returned the song to the chart, reaching with their version. The song became a showstopper for Joe Cocker, whose live version with Leon Russell hit in 1970. Joe: I think it's one of the best things I've ever done. But it's important to remember that great records take more than one person. The talents of Roy and Lori and the great sound of the Arbors were vital to the outcome  . Songfacts: After this album they did one more single, then they started to do TV commercials and didn't really do any more records. Joe: I think it was simply because the follow-up single to "The Letter" was not successful. Songfacts: Joe, you stopped arranging in 1971.

Less than two years after the Box Tops took "The Letter" to number one, this Lettermen-style group,with the help of future John Lennon engineer Roy Cicala and his wife, Lori Burton, took a semi-orchestrated remake of the Alex Chilton/Joe Cocker signature tune to the Top 20. In doing so, "The Letter" became their signature tune as well, bringing the group with impeccable vocals to a much wider audience. Starting off with "Motet-Overture," the Arbors give new meaning to the term Gregorian chant. There's an excellent interview with the bandmembers from Circus Magazine used as the liner notes. The Arbors Featuring: I Can't Quit Her/The Letter is a highly experimental and entertaining album. It's too bad they didn't take this concept a bit further. Imagine doing this to songs by U2, Roxy Music, and the Velvet Underground?
