Dino Valenti - Children of the Sun

[hookalakah]

This recording got a lot of airplay on KMET.

[designeddevil]

i love the crackle of the record player on this. Although i know this audio is nowhere close to a vinyls' clarity, that just makes it feel so much better. Absolutely brilliant song!

[Lessolinie]

He hits me like Tim Buckley and "Pleasant Street" big talent lost too young.

[Bunicula2011]

I am amazed!Why have I never heard this before now? I can't even tell you what I felt, I cried , I thanked God, and iIfelt like it was for me today!

[poptartcannibal]

This song has pierced my heart.

[dwdurling]

I knew Dino Powers in his later life up in Santa Rosa when he lived on Avalon Ave Great songwriter always a sweet spirit! Joli his son used to have a voice just as good OR better I only hope he can tap into his talent and being it to where I used to be Heard it as he played renting my family house on Todd RD Look for big things from Joli Valenti in the future

are we so naive to believe that we passed through a time

so profound and miles ahead and beyond

anything since?

(just wonderin' if I'm the only one, feels like a stranger in this modern time...)

[sillybear969]

Thank you so much, Dino, miss you.

[somedaysoon2]

Great stuff. Just got the cd on the strength of this track and "Time". Looking forward to hearing the rest.

[MrBrombomb]

This is the third time that I've listened to this song. I can't get enough of his voice. I listen to QMS regularly with my favorite songs being "Just For Love". "Fresh Air", & "What About Me". His music reminds me of my father who was a hippie & smoked pot. I love getting stoned while listening to Dino & QMS. To me, It is a spiritual experience that takes me to a different place in time. R.I.P. Dino Valente.

Thank you for uploading this song. This was the first song I learned to play on my guitar. It summed up being a real hippie for me. Thank you, Dino.

You know as the rivers run, that you are children of the sun, live for love and life alone, there's no time to own anybody.

Krazy Kat, carnie klown time delinquent--have some fresh air on me dino.....oreo- fellow bi- polar w.o.p.

[SpainishArcher]

This must have been post QMS?

Too bad Dino and some of the original QMS just couldn't get along.

Dino has such a way with a verse and a voice to kill for.

One of the best!!!

@SpainishArcher This was recorded in 1968 before he re-joined QMS in 1969-70, he had founded QMS then did some jail time for a bullshit pot bust, recorded this solo album and then got back with QMS and the rest is great rock n' roll history.

[somuchface]

This in ONE AMAZING song and recording. One of the best I know.

[freisiansfirst]

dino, I'm so glad I found you somewhere. You were such a good friend

[hebaroxy]

He was a great artist, a "beautiful cat", and a madman. Knew him since The Dragon's Den in NYC. What a powerful singing voice he had. Those were the days.

[magicalmysterygirl]

This is one of the most profound songs ever written.

[thesoftparade3]

Dino left this for everyone to hear ,man i can listen to this all dayy .. RIP

[Behutet93]

the lyric. "there is no time to own anybody" says it all. Great song IMO. Brilliantly written.

[magicalmysterygirl]

This song is one of the most powerful songs that has ever entered my life.

[fifisquarepantz]

I knew Dino and loved him. Before everything and all. Just looking back tonight...

[danzbmw]

saw Gino in SF the same day Jimi Died, it was a wonderful experience....

[cudaj2]

@danzbmw Don't you mean DINO?

[donvalleydon]

Stellar! A lesson for the moment....

[bobbycoltrane]

My money says most loved QMS with Valente,who was given a word-wide stage to rock.
