I'm 51 years old, and I heard it since it first hit the airwaves back when all us dinosaurs listened to the radio. As a Native also (Choctaw, Northern Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche), we were all proud of these guys for making it big.
Something about that dance just made my Navajo blood stir. The entire thing makes me proud. Great song and they ain't hard to look at either. Barb has great taste. 😆
The first Native American Rock 'n' Roller was Marvin Rainwater - who released the first ever version of the "Indian Reservation" in 1959. And Mark Lindsay, lead singer for the band Paul Revere & the Raiders (who released their own version of "Indian Reservation" in 1971), was also Native American. Redbone were the first band where all the members were Native American.
The Eagle Dance is one of the most beautiful dances you will see..I've requested this be danced at my funeral when the time comes...my granddaughter is a jingle dancer..respecting your heritage is a beautiful thing!!
The "Indian Dance" is an Eagle dancer. As an American Indian this holds special meaning to me. My people have a lot of rock and roll influence. Link Wray, Robbie Robertson, Jimi Hendrix was part Cherokee.
redarmysoja I’m part Cherokee, I’m from a area in Kentucky where the Trail of Tears passes through. Every August is the PowWow right buy the T of T Funny thing about Hendrix! My dad did basic training with good ole Jimi Hendrix and Billie Cox out of Fort Campbell KY! My dad went to Nam, but Hendrix got a dishonorable discharge.
One thing people perhaps don't know is that if you're an Native American, you earn the headress and the rest of the regalia that he is wearing through your association with your tribe. They would never perform on national tv in the outfit if he had not earned it for fear of backlash from the Native community given their popularity. That's what is so cool to me about this clip. Thanks for reaction Ty, as usual you're always a pleasure to watch.
@The Art Shit Not only that but possession of eagle feathers is illegal to all other than Native Americans, and with the tribes one must earn each one they get. Eagles are not just our Country bird, but are sacred to natives.
@@2olvets443 Same with the Meshika, P'urepecha and Beni Zaa of Central and Southern Mexico, respectively. And yeah not only possesion of eagle feathers is illegal to all but natives, same here in Mexico and also included the endangered quetzal, those long green, shiny feathers which can be appreciated in Motecuzoma Ilhuicamina Xocoyotzin's headdress on display in a Viennese museum in Austria.
Yeah... finally my folks... as a Native, it was wonderful to see my own folks doing rock and roll music. One of the catchiest songs of the 70s and it's still fun to bop to. Thanks for doing this.
I love love love me some “ Redbone” Come and get your Love. Heard this song a lot growing up , watched them on American Bandstand and The Midnight Special! Awesome band. miss them
Let me add. This was a time where music was respected more in this country. I wouldn't say mesmerized but people actually listened and respected music.
I’ve been rocking to this song since it was released, and I never knew they were Native Americans either until I saw this clip a year or so ago. Midnight Special was our MTV in the 70s.
@@jjkcharlie I live in a town named after an indian tribe and is next right next to the "indian reservation". The indians here call themselves indians and think this whole "native american" politically correct thing is ridiculous. SJW 's think they know what's best for everyone else.
@@SoIoCreep You are correct, I find that most of them identify by their Ethinic-Tribal nations. The Sioux think of themselves as Sioux, Cherokee think of themselves as Cherokee. This Native American thing is purely Elitist White Secular Liberal SJW ideology being shoved down the necks of everyone else.
If I remember correctly, most of the acts had to sing live and the audiences were meager. They were almost grabbing them off the street during the days recording & asked if they wanted to be in audience watching whatever act they had that day.
No doubt, I am 53 years old and Friday nights were nights I could stay up late, even as a kid. Watched those shows live back in the day. Great to see youtube has clips from those old shoes. First thing that comes to mind is it is all live. I doubt must modern musicians could play at that level.
So glad I grew up with this music. My mom had a special love for this band because of her grandmother. Full blooded Cherokee. Died before I was born though
I love this song ... you cault me on the title and first time i have actually gotten to admire them live ... this song is cool cause sometimes a girl needs to give herself a good shake and wake to see what is truly in front of her!!! Nothin the matter with your head babe find it!!! Come and get your love!!! Direct and to the point!!! God bless!!
Great song..I remember many sing a longs in the car when this song came on when I was younger..my daddy would sing this one so loud..he also sang brown eyed girl by van morrison loudly to my momma and make her smile and blush..lol what a great memory to have
I remember hearing this countless times on the radio, but only about 5 months ago came across a video of them singing. Didn't know they were Native American band I thought that was so cool
I remember being at the beach with my sister and her friends, Redbone was always playing somewhere in the background. I was very young, my sister is 18 years older than I am. This song just puts me at the beach, the smell of coppertone, watching the surfers, good times.
No comments about this wonderful song being on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack? I'm really surprised! I was so delighted watching that movie when the the opening beat and rifts for this kicked in. What a joy. Lots of "younguns" introduced to Redbone through that movie, as well as to many other amazing songs and artists of the times. Awesome movie plus awesome soundtrack equals good times. :)
I went to see Guardians at a theater in South Korea, not knowing anything about it. The moment I heard the opening drums, I actually blurted out "Oh, f*** yeah!" and just broke out in a huge grin. I knew then that it was going to be a good movie. After Glen Campbell passed away, I went on Twitter and thanked James Gunn for introducing great tunes to the young ones.
As per Wiki "Come and Get Your Love" is a 1974 hit single by the Native American rock band Redbone. The song was originally released as a promo single under the name "Hail" and was re-titled for its feature on the album Wovoka in 1973. Written and produced by band members Pat and Lolly Vegas, it is one of the band's most successful singles. The song later appeared on many "greatest hits" albums released by the band, as well as on numerous compilation albums of the 1970s.
SO AWESOME!! You actually used the video with the dancing at the beginning. Almost everybody cuts out the dance part...And man can that man dance. It's so clear that he's done some pow wow dancing... These guys are/were for real.
Radio must really be dead. Practically every time I hear a person under their 30's hear a classic song, they state it's from a movie or commercial rather than the radio. I know these old songs because my mother would put on golden oldies radio program, while everyone did house cleaning chores. It made doing chores much more enjoyable. But these days I guess only the very young can listen to corporate radio repeating the same current day songs.
So sad, to me, that this is the case . . . that these fabulous songs of the 70's are now only known to the youth our country through commercials. They were such a pleasure to hear in their own right as a musical composition, and a spiritual or emotional offering and gift to others.
I was one of the only Italian girls in my town... I was certainly the only Italian girl that was heavily into funk and r&b....Motown was a must on my weekends. While Redbone wasn’t a Motown artist (I THINK they were on the Epic label...but don’t quote me), I they never new that they were Native Americans until I stumbled across the video that you reacted to on here. I was blown away at the pure funk, popping from that bass! I have always loved this song and I love it even more, now. Badass dance at the beginning, too!
The song came out in the 70's it is also a Grammy award winning song ❤️❤️❤️ we danced to it , didn't know that they were Indian until I saw the Grammy award show . PEACE
I love this song...very catchy, and the part at the beginning. Learn something new everyday. Great Song Barb...nice shout out to the drummer and 119 people in the premier 😁
Living close to the Shoshone tribe here in Idaho I have many Native American friends. I first heard Redbone when they performed at our Native American dance festival on the Fort Hall reservation. I loved how they brought native tradition into rock music. I also had a huge crush on Lolly Vegas the lead singer. R.I.P Lolly ❤
There is a terrific documentary on Netflix on the contribution of First Nations artists to Rock and Roll. Canada’s most famous is Robbie Robertson who was songwriter for The Band and wrote the rock anthem “The weight”.
I remember watching this performance the night it first aired! I was totally in love with the group. : ) The Midnight Special sure had a lot of wonderful performances on it!!!!
Love this group and especially the song...major hit back then!! Makes me feel proud to be part Cherokee. Thanks for playing this, Ty!! Blessings to you and your family! ❤👋👏👍😁
A great song that put a smile on our faces and was impossible not to get on the dance floor as soon as we heard the opening notes... 1970's had great variety of music...
Aho!! Afro/Cuba/Cherokee!! I remember this song as a kid.. loved IT since and always will. My grandfather was Cherokee and my Grandmother was of the Black Foot nation.. YESSSIR!! PROUD!!!
Ready?? I picked this even though it is their only hit in the US I felt that you should see who they are and what they were about. They had many many hits overseas like Witch Queen of New Orleans and Wovoka, Maggie and a few other. Tony T-Bone Bellamy did the dance in the beginning to Butch drumming and Lolly and Pat doing,the chant. Lolly Vegas was lead singer/guitar his brother Pat played Bass and Tony was also on guitar. If I'm wrong I know a bunch of people who will correct me. There were 4 actual drummer for the group the original was Pete last walking bear DePoe, Arturo Perez, Butch Rillera and Joe Gonzalez. Tracey Lee Nelson also played guitar for the group. Redbone still tours today with only Pat Vegas as the only original member left. My sweet Lolly who was in white passed in 2010 and Tony Bellamy in 2009. They are greatly misses by many. For those of you who know me I fell in love with this group when I was 10. Do you really want to know why I picked this? I'm a Redbonette that's why. Thank Ty foor doing this. Oh couple things. You spelled my last name,wrong lol and Butch wasn't on the song Fate but he was the drummer in this video. He was very happy that you pronounced his last name,right.
@ Lethal Weapon: thanks for request! Redbone fan also. From what I read about Tony is that he did a lot of tribal dancing and one of the drummers was a tribal drummer...maybe Pete? I know this is not Pete here but do enjoy his King Kong drumming. They are an under-rated band and have many more great songs. I love Butch's drum intro., well his drumming period! Isn't he Pete's cousin?
@@BarbaraRomano-akatropicgal55 Butch is actually Tony's cousin. I'm in touch with Butch on messenger and thru a Redbone face book group. He is so neat.I talk to Pete occasionally also. We are trying to get them inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. If you want to sign it I can get you the link. Tony also played and did Flaminko dancing. His wife and kids are really great too. Pete was the only full blooded Indian his full name is Peter Last Walking Bear DePoe. He left the band in 1972 and Arturo Perez filled in for a year and the Butch took over. After Butch was Thunderhand Joe. You can see his music on RUclips also. Look,for Thunderhand Joe and his Medicine Show, he is a Redbone Tribute group. They are pretty awesome. Tracy Lee Nelson replaced Tony and he just won a NAMA for his blues music. Yeah I know lots about the group.
I'm sure that someone has answered your question, sometime in the last year, but just on the unlikely possibility that no one has... The Midnight Special was recorded live for television, that being the case, I'm virtually certain that the crowd was asked to remain relatively quiet during songs and to save applause and cheers for the end of each song.
Steve "Butch" Rillera is a great drummer and part of an amazing musical family that includes Rick (bass) and Barry (Guitar). Early on they played with Dick Dale, The Righteous Brothers and others. Brother Barry later played guitar for Ray Charles. So much talent in one family.
The band is named- Redbone and they are playing on a show that is called- The Midnight Special awesome show everyone that was popular at that time played on it
As a little girl I'd sing this often with my mum. It's was always on the radio etc. WOW little did I know they were Native American WOW amazing !!!! What a cool song this was back in the day. I must tel my mum all this info.
I'm a sucker for "trad" (short for traditional music and dance) and loved the all too brief dancing on this video. The song is good too of course! The clip from Riverdance is another of my all time favorites of your past reactions.
Remember back in the day, The Midnight Special, and Don Kirshners Rock Concert, were the only reason we wanted to be at home on weekend nights. Big crush on Lolly Vega!!❤️
In 1938, at Carnegie Hall, Gene Krupa's drumming had them "dancing in the aisles" during the great finale of "Sing, Sing, Sing." So it depends on the band, the song, the venue, and the people attending. As for me, I dance.
Firstly, thank you for your lovely introduction. This is definitely my kind of channel so I've subbed. I think I might have heard this back in the day and didn't know they were Native Americans. Just came across this track again on YT recently. Apparently they were more popular in europe as they mainly toured in european countries. I think their song (We were all wounded at wounded knee) was banned in the US as considered 'subversive' but did well in europe. God bless you Ty.
The lead singer and bassist are brothers, Pat and Lolly Vegas (Vasquez), originally from Fresno - who were a fixture on the Sunset Strip in the 1960's playing R&B, Surf Music, Pop, Funk and Doo-Wop. They were also session musicians who did a lot of work with major Artists in the L.A. music scene at the time. The Native American 'theme' came from their original drummer, Pete DePoe, when REDBONE was formed in the early 1970's. While Pat and Lolly do have some Native Central American ancestry, they were primarily seen as a Mexican-American Act. Pete DePoe, who was from Seattle, was a descended from several North American Indian Tribes. REDBONE was originally conceived as a 'Cajun Funk' band, and the term 'redbone' refers to mixed-race/light-skinned creole blacks in Louisiana. But they decided to try and capitalize on the 'Native American Rock/Soul/Funk Band' theme and it worked!! REDBONE was very popular in the 1970's, had a bunch of hit songs and toured worldwide.
This was a classic in the 70’s! I was strictly into soul music especially the Motown sound. When I heard this at 12/13 years old I was hooked!! The dance is awesome and the drum immediately when he stopped dancing!! This is my era of music!!
🥀 Hi, I'm new here. I was trying to catch a few reactions to this song by Redbone. Y'all should pay attention to The Midnight Special audiences. I haven't seen any performance where the audience goes wild or even shows an excited reaction. I've always figured they were asked not to for whatever reasons. I'll look into your channel soon as I can. Thanks for the video ! Peace ! 🙋🏻♀️🌹
Grew up in the 70's. I must have heard this song 1000 times it was all over the radio. However, they played the studio version, without the Native drums at the beginning you see here. Also, only 3 channels on TV in those days and no internet... I didn't know until just today it was an all-Native American band. Cool. Thanks
LOve this.. but if you want watch an amazing video from Midnight Special look for the Ohio Players doing FIRE. it is amazing..and people were actually dancing!
Awwwwwe chiT! You HAD to bring up FiiiiiiiiRRRRRe yeR!!! boomp boomp boomp,boomp boomp boomp, ba boomp ooomp,, FiiiiiiiRe Yahhhh! Some of the sexiest funky lyrics with hellified beats: the way you walk and talk..really sets me off to a FuLL aLaRm, child, Yes it DoES! When shake what you goT, gurL, you really GOT aLoT.... Have mercy!
every one i knew back in the day, heard the song on the (am) radio but didn't know they were native americans. everybody thought i was making it up, till midnight special aired it. so of coarse i had to do the ''I TOLD YOU'' thing
50sbaby 🙋🏽♀️there’s a lot of Native music/bands that are awesome 👏🏽! Taboo has One World that is unforgettable, Supaman has Miracle Feat, and Skyworld, Keith Secola , Tru Rez Crew , Drake has Still Here, XIT Color Nature Gone and so many more Joey Styles, Runaway Warriors....Robbie Robertson
I was a little kid when I first heard this song. It wasn't until way into my late 20s when I found out that they were a Native American rock band. I thought there were a black rock band when I first heard this song. I bought the CD set Time/Life Sounds Of The 70s. In there, I saw this group and was shocked that they were Native American. Now I know why the group was called Redbone.
MRM, this was years before SRV on Austin City Limits. I saw this on Midnight Special when I was a kid, the song was popular on radio at that time. It brought back memories when I heard it in the opening scenes of "Guardians of the Galaxy". This song along with 10cc's "I'm not in Love" and Eric Carmen & the Raspberries "Go All the Way" in the first 20 minutes of that movie totally setup things. I listened to all of these on the radio then and watched the bands on Midnight Special.
In a past life, I was a Chickasaw Indian. I died from being stabbed in the chest. The knife went through my lungs. I have visions of it. This was one of my favorite songs in the 70's and is now one of my son's favorite songs.
Great track! I never saw, or heard the live versions! Redbone and Rare Earth were two bands that you never heard too much about when I was a kid in the early seventies! Check out Rare Earth! And also Cat Stevens "Father And Son" and "Foreigner Suite"!
I own on DVD midnight special show off the first show to preformed concerts. Never missed a show. So many talented artist. It didn't what kind of music was being played.
REDBONE---WOW!!! I did not think I would ever hear anyone do a review on them!! This brought back so many memories. The just setting there was the era and TV etiquette at the time. Thanks!!!
Lee Ralph you should really look for more of their songs on YOU Tube, you will enjoy all the different styles they actually played. I am a huge Redbone fan. I call myself a Redbonette. There are lots of us out here that worship this group. And being friends with Butch Rillera now is such an honor.
First Nation band that deserves so much respect.
My grandfather was native and a musician, so much talent within the native peoples but, they don’t have the support to make it known- atushunapunya
They were the first to have a #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

So sad, to me, that this is the case . . . that these fabulous songs of the 70's are now only known to the youth our country through commercials. They were such a pleasure to hear in their own right as a musical composition, and a spiritual or emotional offering and gift to others.
I was one of the only Italian girls in my town... I was certainly the only Italian girl that was heavily into funk and r&b....Motown was a must on my weekends. While Redbone wasn’t a Motown artist (I THINK they were on the Epic label...but don’t quote me), I they never new that they were Native Americans until I stumbled across the video that you reacted to on here. I was blown away at the pure funk, popping from that bass! I have always loved this song and I love it even more, now. Badass dance at the beginning, too!
The song came out in the 70's it is also a Grammy award winning song ❤️❤️❤️ we danced to it , didn't know that they were Indian until I saw the Grammy award show . PEACE
I love this song...very catchy, and the part at the beginning. Learn something new everyday. Great Song Barb...nice shout out to the drummer and 119 people in the premier 😁
Living close to the Shoshone tribe here in Idaho I have many Native American friends. I first heard Redbone when they performed at our Native American dance festival on the Fort Hall reservation. I loved how they brought native tradition into rock music. I also had a huge crush on Lolly Vegas the lead singer. R.I.P Lolly ❤
I remember watching that episode of The Midnight Special! Redbone ROCKED!
I just watched their video yesterday...love this one
There is a terrific documentary on Netflix on the contribution of First Nations artists to Rock and Roll. Canada’s most famous is Robbie Robertson who was songwriter for The Band and wrote the rock anthem “The weight”.
Great song by a great band!
I remember watching this performance the night it first aired! I was totally in love with the group. : ) The Midnight Special sure had a lot of wonderful performances on it!!!!
Have always loved this. And this performance--embracing and sharing their roots. Just terrific! More great music from the 70s!
I love Redbone! An amazing group!
Awesome song by a group of fantastic people..
My musical inspiration is and always will be Redbone!
Love this group and especially the song...major hit back then!! Makes me feel proud to be part Cherokee. Thanks for playing this, Ty!! Blessings to you and your family! ❤👋👏👍😁
A great song that put a smile on our faces and was impossible not to get on the dance floor as soon as we heard the opening notes... 1970's had great variety of music...
This is one of those great feel good songs! You can’t be in a bad mood while listening to it.
Aho!! Afro/Cuba/Cherokee!! I remember this song as a kid.. loved IT since and always will. My grandfather was Cherokee and my Grandmother was of the Black Foot nation.. YESSSIR!! PROUD!!!
Ready??
I picked this even though it is their only hit in the US I felt that you should see who they are and what they were about. They had many many hits overseas like Witch Queen of New Orleans and Wovoka, Maggie and a few other.
Tony T-Bone Bellamy did the dance in the beginning to Butch drumming and Lolly and Pat doing,the chant. Lolly Vegas was lead singer/guitar his brother Pat played Bass and Tony was also on guitar. If I'm wrong I know a bunch of people who will correct me.
There were 4 actual drummer for the group the original was Pete last walking bear DePoe, Arturo Perez, Butch Rillera and Joe Gonzalez. Tracey Lee Nelson also played guitar for the group. Redbone still tours today with only Pat Vegas as the only original member left.
My sweet Lolly who was in white passed in 2010 and Tony Bellamy in 2009. They are greatly misses by many.
For those of you who know me I fell in love with this group when I was 10. Do you really want to know why I picked this? I'm a Redbonette that's why. Thank Ty foor doing this.
Oh couple things. You spelled my last name,wrong lol and Butch wasn't on the song Fate but he was the drummer in this video. He was very happy that you pronounced his last name,right.
Awesome pick... Awesome information.
Terry.
@@makaavbassman4847 is this my brother Terry M?
@@lethalweapon4052 yup
@ Lethal Weapon: thanks for request! Redbone fan also. From what I read about Tony is that he did a lot of tribal dancing and one of the drummers was a tribal drummer...maybe Pete? I know this is not Pete here but do enjoy his King Kong drumming. They are an under-rated band and have many more great songs. I love Butch's drum intro., well his drumming period! Isn't he Pete's cousin?
@@BarbaraRomano-akatropicgal55 Butch is actually Tony's cousin. I'm in touch with Butch on messenger and thru a Redbone face book group. He is so neat.I talk to Pete occasionally also. We are trying to get them inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. If you want to sign it I can get you the link.
Tony also played and did Flaminko dancing. His wife and kids are really great too.
Pete was the only full blooded Indian his full name is
Peter Last Walking Bear DePoe. He left the band in 1972 and Arturo Perez filled in for a year and the Butch took over. After Butch was Thunderhand Joe. You can see his music on RUclips also. Look,for Thunderhand Joe and his Medicine Show, he is a Redbone Tribute group. They are pretty awesome. Tracy Lee Nelson replaced Tony and he just won a NAMA for his blues music.
Yeah I know lots about the group.
I'm sure that someone has answered your question, sometime in the last year, but just on the unlikely possibility that no one has...
The Midnight Special was recorded live for television, that being the case, I'm virtually certain that the crowd was asked to remain relatively quiet during songs and to save applause and cheers for the end of each song.
Such a fun song of the 70s! Redbone was unique for the time. Luv this... then & now!
Steve "Butch" Rillera is a great drummer and part of an amazing musical family that includes Rick (bass) and Barry (Guitar). Early on they played with Dick Dale, The Righteous Brothers and others. Brother Barry later played guitar for Ray Charles. So much talent in one family.
I’m glad that Marvel used this song in Guardians of the Galaxy. It introduced a new generation to some great classics.
Ohhh yes. ,1974, I was 19..Altima favorite song🥂❤👍🎸
The band is named- Redbone and they are playing on a show that is called- The Midnight Special awesome show everyone that was popular at that time played on it
As a little girl I'd sing this often with my mum. It's was always on the radio etc. WOW little did I know they were
Native American WOW amazing !!!! What a cool song this was back in the day. I must tel my mum all this info.
I'm a sucker for "trad" (short for traditional music and dance) and loved the all too brief dancing on this video.
The song is good too of course! The clip from Riverdance is another of my all time favorites of your past reactions.
I love these guys. Guitar driven rythem and blues. Great vocals, fun vibe.
I like this live one,but really like the original 😍
I prefer the live also but I thought Ty needed to see Tony dance in the beginning. The live is also Butch's favorite.
Remember back in the day, The Midnight Special, and Don Kirshners Rock Concert, were the only reason we wanted to be at home on weekend nights. Big crush on Lolly Vega!!❤️
Huge crush on Lolly
Loved this ERA , Loved this song , Great Native American Band, This time in history will be missed by multitudes.
In 1938, at Carnegie Hall, Gene Krupa's drumming had them "dancing in the aisles" during the great finale of "Sing, Sing, Sing." So it depends on the band, the song, the venue, and the people attending. As for me, I dance.
Firstly, thank you for your lovely introduction. This is definitely my kind of channel so I've subbed. I think I might have heard this back in the day and didn't know they were Native Americans. Just came across this track again on YT recently. Apparently they were more popular in europe as they mainly toured in european countries. I think their song (We were all wounded at wounded knee) was banned in the US as considered 'subversive' but did well in europe. God bless you Ty.
Wow..I loved This! Heard this so many times when I was younger! How refreshing..American Indian Band :)
It was so great to hear this song in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 1. Excellent choice!!
This song was a huge hit back in the day. Seems like every time you turned the radio on this was playing. Great song. I was 8 when this came out.
This was the First Native American Band to hit the Top Ten. It reached #7 on the Charts. Made us (Apache) so Proud, A’HO!. SanJoseBob.
I grew up hearing this song and I love this song it’s one of my favorites
The lead singer and bassist are brothers, Pat and Lolly Vegas (Vasquez), originally from Fresno - who were a fixture on the Sunset Strip in the 1960's playing R&B, Surf Music, Pop, Funk and Doo-Wop. They were also session musicians who did a lot of work with major Artists in the L.A. music scene at the time.
The Native American 'theme' came from their original drummer, Pete DePoe, when REDBONE was formed in the early 1970's.
While Pat and Lolly do have some Native Central American ancestry, they were primarily seen as a Mexican-American Act.
Pete DePoe, who was from Seattle, was a descended from several North American Indian Tribes.
REDBONE was originally conceived as a 'Cajun Funk' band, and the term 'redbone' refers to mixed-race/light-skinned creole blacks in Louisiana.
But they decided to try and capitalize on the 'Native American Rock/Soul/Funk Band' theme and it worked!! REDBONE was very popular in the 1970's, had a bunch of hit songs and toured worldwide.
Blackfoot was another great Native American rock band. I was really fortunate to see them in concert and they rocked!
This was a classic in the 70’s! I was strictly into soul music especially the Motown sound. When I heard this at 12/13 years old I was hooked!! The dance is awesome and the drum immediately when he stopped dancing!! This is my era of music!!
One of my favorite bands back in the day.
🥀 Hi, I'm new here. I was trying to catch a few reactions to this song by Redbone.
Y'all should pay attention to The Midnight Special audiences. I haven't seen any performance where the audience goes wild or even shows an excited reaction. I've always figured they were asked not to for whatever reasons.
I'll look into your channel soon as I can. Thanks for the video ! Peace ! 🙋🏻♀️🌹
Grew up in the 70's. I must have heard this song 1000 times it was all over the radio. However, they played the studio version, without the Native drums at the beginning you see here. Also, only 3 channels on TV in those days and no internet... I didn't know until just today it was an all-Native American band. Cool. Thanks
This was so killer. Just sharing it a couple weeks ago with someone
LOve this.. but if you want watch an amazing video from Midnight Special look for the Ohio Players doing FIRE. it is amazing..and people were actually dancing!
Awwwwwe chiT! You HAD to bring up FiiiiiiiiRRRRRe yeR!!! boomp boomp boomp,boomp boomp boomp, ba boomp ooomp,, FiiiiiiiRe Yahhhh!
Some of the sexiest funky lyrics with hellified beats:
the way you walk and talk..really sets me off to a FuLL aLaRm, child, Yes it DoES!
When shake what you goT, gurL, you really GOT aLoT....
Have mercy!
This is good feel song by a band that deserves much respect, I play this song when cleaning my house and makes work faster and fun...The beat ...👏
I can hear the Native drum beat that is from their culture..Love it..I was raised and still live one mile off the Navajo Reservation...😊
every one i knew back in the day, heard the song on the (am) radio but didn't know they were native americans. everybody thought i was making it up, till midnight special aired it. so of coarse i had to do the ''I TOLD YOU'' thing
50sbaby 🙋🏽♀️there’s a lot of Native music/bands that are awesome 👏🏽! Taboo has One World that is unforgettable, Supaman has Miracle Feat, and Skyworld, Keith Secola , Tru Rez Crew , Drake has Still Here, XIT Color Nature Gone and so many more Joey Styles, Runaway Warriors....Robbie Robertson
Back somewhere around 1961 or 1962 a duet called PAT and LOLLIE VEGA hit the charts with a song called The ROBOT WALK would later became REDBONE
I was a little kid when I first heard this song. It wasn't until way into my late 20s when I found out that they were a Native American rock band. I thought there were a black rock band when I first heard this song.
I bought the CD set Time/Life Sounds Of The 70s. In there, I saw this group and was shocked that they were Native American. Now I know why the group was called Redbone.
The guy dancing was blessing the stage for a successful performance.
MRM, this was years before SRV on Austin City Limits. I saw this on Midnight Special when I was a kid, the song was popular on radio at that time. It brought back memories when I heard it in the opening scenes of "Guardians of the Galaxy". This song along with 10cc's "I'm not in Love" and Eric Carmen & the Raspberries "Go All the Way" in the first 20 minutes of that movie totally setup things. I listened to all of these on the radio then and watched the bands on Midnight Special.
In a past life, I was a Chickasaw Indian. I died from being stabbed in the chest. The knife went through my lungs. I have visions of it. This was one of my favorite songs in the 70's and is now one of my son's favorite songs.
Love this. Another gettin' your groove on song from the 70's. I have it as one of my "Summer" ringtones😎
Great track! I never saw, or heard the live versions! Redbone and Rare Earth were two bands that you never heard too much about when I was a kid in the early seventies! Check out Rare Earth! And also Cat Stevens "Father And Son" and "Foreigner Suite"!
I own on DVD midnight special show off the first show to preformed concerts. Never missed a show. So many talented artist. It didn't what kind of music was being played.
REDBONE---WOW!!! I did not think I would ever hear anyone do a review on them!! This brought back so many memories. The just setting there was the era and TV etiquette at the time. Thanks!!!
Lee Ralph you should really look for more of their songs on YOU Tube, you will enjoy all the different styles they actually played. I am a huge Redbone fan. I call myself a Redbonette. There are lots of us out here that worship this group. And being friends with Butch Rillera now is such an honor.
