Encyclopedia > Dino Valente

Chet Powers, also known as Dino Valente, was an American singer / songwriter.


He was born 7 August 1943 in New York City.


In the early 1960s, while a member of the Greenwich Village folk scene, he wrote Get Together, a quintessential 60s love and peace anthem, later recorded by Jefferson Airplane. He was an original member of Quicksilver Messenger Service, but his career was blighted by frequent drug-busts.


He died 16 November 1994 in Santa Rosa, California.

Valente was also an original member of Quicksilver Messenger Service, although drug busts meant that he did not actually perform and record with the group for about five years, by which time they were on the downside artistically.
Valente's material for the band, too, did not match his best earlier efforts, although one of his Quicksilver compositions, "What About Me," was one of their most popular tracks.
Valente stayed with Quicksilver through the mid-'70s, and signed with Warner Brothers in 1974, although no releases resulted from that association, and indeed no Valente releases would appear between then and his death in 1994.
