Dewey Terry (1938 - 2003) grew up in Pasadena, California. As a teenager, he sang falsetto vocals in a local doo-wop group, 'The Squires'. Reasoning (perhaps incorrectly) that there was more money to be made in a smaller group, Terry and his friend Don "Sugarcane" Harris left the group in 1957 to perform as 'Don and Dewey'. The duo recorded several classic, blistering Rock & Roll numbers on the Specialty label and others, but never had any significantly charting hits.
It appears that this 1972 album was Dewey Terry's only 'solo' record. It was recorded for the short-lived Tumbleweed record label, based out of Denver, Colorado. The 'Chief' LP is a fun and funky mixed-genre batch of rock, soul, blues and funk. It received a Grammy nomination for Aaron Schumaker's 'writing tablet' artwork and album packaging.
