RPM 2004 CD remaster of 1968 self titled album by Dino Valente. CD adds bonus 2 session tracks.
Chester (Chet) William Powers, Jr. (October 7, 1937– November 16, 1994) was an American singer-songwriter, and under the stage names Dino Valenti or Dino Valente, one of the lead singers of the rock group Quicksilver Messenger Service. He is best known for having written the quintessential 1960s love-and-peace anthem "Get Together".
Powers' career was blighted by several drug busts, resulting in arrest for possession of marijuana. He received a one-to-ten-year sentence served in part at Folsom State Prison. After completing his sentence, Valenti/Powers signed with CBS's Epic Records, releasing this eponymous solo album under a variation of his pseudonym (Dino Valente) in 1968. Shortly thereafter, he served as the opening act for Jimi Hendrix at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom.
