Tower of Power
In the 1970s, Conte played bass guitar in the group Common Ground with cousin Bruce (later of Tower of Power fame) on electric guitar. Victor Conte was a member of Tower of Power itself for a time later in the 1970s, playing bass guitar, and also collaborated during that period with pianist Herbie Hancock and violinist Sugarcane Harris. At the time he had the nickname "Walking Fish" from his days playing with the Pure Food & Drug Act.

Fallen is at length
Its tower of strength;
Its sun is dimmed ere it had nooned;
Dead lies the great Ahkoond,
The great Ahkoond of Swat
Is not!”

They tower over the homes of our people like mighty guardians, keeping alive the invincible faith of the Christian. Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

I am forced to lie on the floor.”
