Sal Valentino

Sal Valentino scored a few national hits with the Beau Brummels from San Francisco in the sixties. Those songs, "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just a Little," became an important part of his repertoire once he became a solo artist. In the early 70s he issued solo singles such as "A Song For Rochelle" on Warner Bros. Records before joining the SF Bay Area blues/rock band Stoneground, signed to the same label.

He stayed as vocalist of Stoneground through 1973. He also dabbled in acting, appearing in the 1965 comedy film Village of the Giants. He eventually moved to Sacramento in 1994. In 2003 Sal teamed up with local blues guitarist Jackie Greene in Sacramento to record the album called Positively 12th & K: A Bob Dylan Tribute. After that Sal released solo albums.
