For this indigenous band to have sent out a traditional dancer in full kit in the beginning was probably a reflection of the broad public support for the indigenous occupation of Wounded Knee that was going on that very year, 1973. That would have been on everyone's mind at the time. Celebrities were speaking up about it and sending supplies to the indigenous people under siege at Wounded Knee. That intro had real resonance.
@@davidgoldstein1526 I believe it was Marlon Brando who rejected his Oscar in 1973 "because of the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry and on television in movie reruns." Sacheen Littlefeather declined the Oscar on his behalf. George C Scott rejected his Oscar in 1971 because he felt that the Academy Awards "were a "meat parade" that pitted actors against one another, and he didn't see the point of receiving an award for acting."
Lolly wrote this song about his girlfriend, she came out griping about her hair one night, he proceeded to write this song telling her nothing is wrong with her hair or sign or anything else, just come and get your love...one of my favorites! Thanks Harri!
I would not classify this as rock actually. As Harri pointed out, there are Motown references, it has some funk and even some Caribbean/tropical vibes IMO. Then again, let’s not pin music too much on genres we’d like to fit them in and enjoy what’s good. And this song is really, really good, innit.
I met Lolly Vegas, the singer in the video, once in the 1990's, but I didn't make the connection as to who he was. He showed up to play at an open mic night hosted by the owner of the club I used to hang out at but had no axe to play. The owner knew who he was but didn't let on, so he asked me to lend him my guitar as a favor as well as for some free beer. Lolly didn't play this song which is too bad. If he had I would have figured out who he was right quick. He played a ballad in a Texas blues style instead. And he busted the high e-string on my guitar too, but I didn't mind too much because I had a spare. It was cool. He died about five years after that and was buried in the same cemetery they buried one of my uncles in two years ago. RIP.
Fantastic #1 record here in Canada! Redbone was a great band! This was an original not a cover. It's all Redbone's creation. Fantastic! Love it! 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
I remember hearing this song on CKLW radio in Windsor Canada back in 1974! It was in heavy rotation. I thought it had to be a Canadian band they played it so often.
It does sound MoTown. My husband and inlaws are Native, this dance is called Fancy Dance, to my understanding. Whole comglomeration in this song, which is kind of the point. I recommend a PowWow, if you get the chance. You'll see and hear everything.
If anyone goes to a Pow Wow, if you can't spend the entire day/weekend, at least be there for the grand entrance where all the singers and dancers join together in full costume for a ceremony to start it off.
Back when AM Radio played songs, when this song came on .........."Turn the volume UP!!" One of those ole school favorites! Thank you. Recommend adding to your list the song 'Cherokee Nation' - Paul Revere and The Raiders.
Remember these brothas were the originals of American soul and struggle , NDNs have not all been wiped out the spirit still rises. great channel thank you
One of my all -time favourite songs.. Can listen to it a million times and never get sick of it.. Love Redbone, just adore the lead singer Lolly (Rip) and his brother Pat (bassist).. btw Harri love your intro, well said..... Cheers
To Souris and Desmond-the bass player is Pat Vegas, younger brother of Lolly, the lead singer. YESSS!! He is soooo hot in his skin tight, shiny black pants and shirt open down to his navel with a huge turquiose necklace in his bare chest😘! Native American men are soooo gorgeous😛💖🤩!!
I was very curious as to your reactions to this much loved song. Redbone is a Mexican-American/Native American funk rock band originating in the 1970s with brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas . According to Pat Vegas, Jimi Hendrix, himself part Cherokee, inspired the musicians to form an all-Native American rock group.. They reached the Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with their single, "Come and Get Your Love". The single went certified Gold selling over a million copies . This song was played on the airwaves in every car driving around with kids or teens and we loved it. The song even became a catch phrase : " Come an' get your love"! La la la la la la la la la la! Lolly was very good looking in that white suit and the way he sang the lead. Pat was the black leather wearing, body dancing. smiling guitar playing, back up singing brother. The opening was an authentic Yaqui Native American dance. The word "redbone" is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, which the band adopted to signify their mixed ancestry. The Vasquez-Vegas brothers were of Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage. The band often alluded to Cajun and New Orleans culture in their lyrics and performing style. The brothers began by performing and recording surf music as the Vegas Brothers, "because their agent told them that the world was not yet ready to embrace a duo of Mexican musicians playing surfing music". First as the Vegas Brothers, then later as the Crazy Cajun Cakewalk Band, Pat and Lolly performed throughout the 1960s at venues on the Las Vegas Strip. Of all those band members, Pat Vegas is the only one still alive. Patrick "Pat" Vasquez-Vegas (born March 17, 1941) (on St. Patrick's day) is now 80 years old and is still playing concerts! He looks great at 80, look up Pat Vegas! Thanks for playing and reacting to a very popular song! Everyone loved it because almost everyone wants to be reassured by their significant other and Lolly did that so well, which makes this a very romantic song with a strong and hot beat!
Classic song from my youth they brought alot of pride amongst the Native Americans another great tune is Black Foot: Train Train amazing harmonica intro!
One of my favorite radio stations in the early to mid 70's played lots of Motown and Funk. Wonderfully surprised to find these guys were of Native American heritage - as we were surprised to see K.C. of K.C. and The Sunshine Band was white. Then Blue Swede (Swedish) came out sounding African-American-Indian with "Hooked On A Feeling" - and who'd've thunk Average White Band was some white Scots (and not so average)?
Redbone representing!!! My brother fancy danced in his younger years, now he's moved on to men's traditional (I think his joints made that decision for him) 😉 Redbone showing just how talented Native American musicians are. Thanks so so much for this!!! 💚
I'm Native American and I was lucky enough to see them in concert, my aunt took me, the dance he's doing is called Men's Northern Fancy Dance, I'm a Womens Southern Traditional dancer, they use the song in commercials these days.
Pat and Lolly Vegas, are great boys before they started Redbone. In the 50ties and early sixties they wrote/played on numerous songs for artists like Elvis, Sonny & Cher, Little Richard, James Brown and Tina Turner later on. Both had a fan called Jimi Hendrix who adviced them to start a band together: Redbone as result
Lolly passed away in 1990 from cancer.. RIP Lolly Vegas....One of ny favorite groups from the 70's...The entire band was a mix of Mexican and American Natives.. that is why they named their band Redbone.. which means Half breed
The name Redbone refered to the Native American term for a person of mixed ethnicity. But especially one with Native American ancestry. The grass dancer at the begining that then started to play rock is an illustration of this idea of mixed cultures and acceptence of it.
This was from 1974. Really cool that the one member did the traditional dance at the beginning of their performance. Wish they had had a bunch more of their music on the radio back then, and today.
I watched that performance when it first aired. : ) Absolutely loved the song. I sure miss The Midnight Special, it had a lot of great stages in it's time -- also Wolfman Jack was such a great MC when he was on the show. : )
This is the Native American band that made this a huge hit. It was feature in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy and became popular again. At the start of this video the band is making a statement with the traditional dance. It's "We're Native Americans." I've watched a few reactions to this song and not one of them knew a Native American band made it a hit. Thanks for reacting to it.
We had such wonderful music in the 70s! This was a crank-up-the-car-radio, sing-along-with-the-windows-down song. People driving by us would yell, "Does everybody have to listen to that??"
I heard this song a lot when I was a kid in the early 1970s and until this moment I never knew Redbone was an Indigenous band. Very cool. Always liked this song. Very catchy.
Fun fact...Jimi Hendrix was the one who encouraged Redbone to keep making music.Redbone is a Cajun term for"mixed breed"...in this case Native American-Mexican mix.
What a great song, huh?! We didn’t have an easy way to watch videos when this song came our. Unless we saw this TV show we didn’t know some of the things you learned and were so surprised by in the opening minute. It was extremely popular. That said, I never saw this video until 4-5 years ago. Reactions like this, in which you are both openly surprised and honestly pleased, are my favorites on your channel. Please continue to keep live performances in the mix of what you do. Even if the sound and performance quality are not always as good as studio recordings it’s much easier to get a sense of things when one can see and hear it. Thank you, Harri!
It took me nearly my whole life to realize they were singing "Hail!" not "Hey!" in the chorus. I learned this after watching another reactor. I love how affirming it is. It's addressed to a woman to reassure her that nothing is wrong with her.
The dancer at the beginning was to protest the treatment of American Indians (not only at the time but previous treatment as well)...more specifically the incarceration of Leonard Peltier..who is still in prison today at a very advanced age.
Lolly Vegas, the singer, wrote the song originally titled Hail. The Pat and Lolly Vegas Band dominated the Sunset Strip clubs in the 1960's. Movie, TV, and writing songs for themselves and other artists.
1st Native American group to have a hit single. Love the intro of this video! Chanting back & forth is also part of Native American's traditions. But yes, it has a heavy soul influence too. Also listen to "Cherokee Nation" by Paul Revere & The Raiders.
I remember hearing this song on the radio…not sure when. I never expected the native American look and feel to the band! It’s always interesting to put faces with the music. Nice! 🌺✌️
I discovered this song in 2018, fortunately, when the French Company "Bouygues Telecom" used this song for their Christmas commercial, which was made really viral on internet in Europe. What amazing discovery!, since then this song is on my playlist
Harri, if you think you've heard it, you've heard it. This is a sign when a generation realizes it's old. The songs we grew up with eventually all become commercials.
I can't believe how little different genres mattered. With songs like "Come And Get Your Love" it didn't matter if I preferred rock, country and western, r&b or jazz. I like this song.
Harri, There is a Documentry out there called Rumble The Indians that rocked the world. it is a good watch RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World - Official Trailer - RUclips
Soy Nativoamericano nacido en Baja California de la Etnia Cochimi , de la familia Yumana , no Mexicano . Aun mi familia sigue en las tierras de nuestros ancestros en EEUU, un orgullo , Auka. Desde Ensenada Baja California, Mex.
We all come from different tribes. And they happened to come out with this great song. I'm glad I was born in the 60s and was able to lift through the 70s. And you may have heard it in guardians of the Galaxy.
Jimmy Hendrix was good friends with the two brothers Pat and Lolly and he suggested that they put a band together hence Redbone. They are Native American Indian and Mexican. Mixed Cultures. Cajuns called them Redbone. I love your reaction. Hehehe 😜.
I remember that very show! Every Friday night, my brother's (rip) and I would gather around the TV to jam out to those great concert shows! At the time, no one knew the show would end up being legendary! The next night (Saturday Night) we did the same to Don Kirshner's Rock Concert! Loved those shows then... Love em now! Thanks for taking me back to great times!
One of my favs too! Has such a happy fun beat you can't ever forget. Those were great times that I miss. Now it's no.quality of life just about survival it seems.
The good thing I found during the lock down days of COVID was RUclips and people like you who discover the music of my youth. I brings me joy to see your enthusiasm and appreciation! Love it!!!
Harri, love your reaction to Redbone, something in the same era and genre the late B.J.THOMAS with "Hooked on a Feeling ", you'll love it. Take care kid and cheerio from Glasgow.
@HarriBest Reactions Thank you for the reaction! I don't know if anyone commented on this already, but this is an original Redbone song. They wrote it and performed it. They had other songs in other genres, but this one was particularly unique. It was also a big hit in the early 70s. That chorus will stick in your head for months! That's probably why you recognize it. You probably have heard it.
Oh yeah there's a lot more redbone out there they had some other hits they put on an incredible live show it's just that nobody was ready for them to walk out on stage in native apparel shocked a few people in the best of ways.
REDBONE "WITCH QUEEN OF NEW ORLEANS"
Yet another 70's radio classic. Redbone...a Native America rock band.
R.I.P. TONY (T-BONE) BELLAMY & LOLLY VEGAS...THANKS FOR ALL YOU GAVE US..GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. 🙏 ❤
These guy's were so refreshing, a whole band of beautiful native men, they was so different and so good...♡
For this indigenous band to have sent out a traditional dancer in full kit in the beginning was probably a reflection of the broad public support for the indigenous occupation of Wounded Knee that was going on that very year, 1973. That would have been on everyone's mind at the time. Celebrities were speaking up about it and sending supplies to the indigenous people under siege at Wounded Knee. That intro had real resonance.
George C Scott refused his Oscar, in order to show solidarity with the Bative Americans.

@@talltulip you're correct. Thx
It was released as a single in the Summer of 1974.
Not a traditional dancer but traditional dance he is a member of the band and playing guitar on left.
"Witch Queen of New Orleans" was another good one from this group
Tom Jones sang this song also 👍
Lolly wrote this song about his girlfriend, she came out griping about her hair one night, he proceeded to write this song telling her nothing is wrong with her hair or sign or anything else, just come and get your love...one of my favorites! Thanks Harri!
*This song was by the lead singer, Lolly Vegas and his brother Pat Vegas* . They are probably the most famous all Indian rock band.
Redbone: unique. Starts with fancy dancing and goes right into rock. This song is famous!
I would not classify this as rock actually. As Harri pointed out, there are Motown references, it has some funk and even some Caribbean/tropical vibes IMO.
Then again, let’s not pin music too much on genres we’d like to fit them in and enjoy what’s good. And this song is really, really good, innit.
Back then that was called rock. Even though it has different elements in it. Today country sounds like soft Rock. Music has changed alot since then.
I met Lolly Vegas, the singer in the video, once in the 1990's, but I didn't make the connection as to who he was.

Neat anecdote! Thanks for sharing

I love that they were true to their heritage

Regalia not costume
I got to a pow wow once, it was one of the most exciting cool experiences I've ever had! I fell in love that night with Indian culture!
I saw who you were reacting to and thought to myself "Oh, I gotta watch this, Harri is gonna love this song."
Back when AM Radio played songs, when this song came on .........."Turn the volume UP!!" One of those ole school favorites! Thank you. Recommend adding to your list the song 'Cherokee Nation' - Paul Revere and The Raiders.
Indian Reservation(Lament of the Cherokee Nation) was the title.
Absolutely!
Remember these brothas were the originals of American soul and struggle , NDNs have not all been wiped out the spirit still rises. great channel thank you
One of my all -time favourite songs.. Can listen to it a million times and never get sick of it.. Love Redbone, just adore the lead singer Lolly (Rip) and his brother Pat (bassist).. btw Harri love your intro, well said..... Cheers
I'm a straight guy but that bassist is damn good looking.
Yes , I'm straight also and the bassist is good looking for sure. 🤗😁👍
To Souris and Desmond-the bass player is Pat Vegas, younger brother of Lolly, the lead singer. YESSS!! He is soooo hot in his skin tight, shiny black pants and shirt open down to his navel with a huge turquiose necklace in his bare chest😘! Native American men are soooo gorgeous😛💖🤩!!
This song has been in a few films: Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: End Game. Maybe more but can't think of them right now.
I was gonna mention guardians of the galaxy lol so ta for that!

Thanks for the nice informative history of this wonderful group 👍👍🙏
You’re right, they were huge Motown fans
Classic song from my youth they brought alot of pride amongst the Native Americans
another great tune is Black Foot: Train Train amazing harmonica intro!
I agree you must hear "Witch Queen of New Orleans. Swampy rocker.
is no one going to mention the bad ass mustache the dancer has!

Redbone showing just how talented Native American musicians are.
Thanks so so much for this!!! 💚
what i love most about this performance, is the cheers of the crowd, honoring the band's homage to their native-american heritage....
Just, simply, love this song and Band. Never get tired of it...listen every time I hear it. 😊
For Anyone That Enjoys Redbone,, I Would Strongly Suggest Listening To Their Album "Potlatch"
I'm Native American and I was lucky enough to see them in concert, my aunt took me, the dance he's doing is called Men's Northern Fancy Dance, I'm a Womens Southern Traditional dancer, they use the song in commercials these days.

Every time I see this I think Lolly seems like a guy that I would have liked to hang out with in the back yard.
The lead singer was born the same yr as my mom...that freaks me out! i use to have a crush on him! lol
No , not a cover. This is the original. Very popular song you probably have heard this before.
They had a second big hit, Witch Queen of New Orleans
think you will find, witch queen of new orleans, was there first hit, 1972, this was 1974 ,i think great group,
This was from 1974. Really cool that the one member did the traditional dance at the beginning of their performance. Wish they had had a bunch more of their music on the radio back then, and today.

"The Postman" (1997): "Gordon Krantz" at the Pineview dance: ruclips.net/video/s9r3G6sB0m8/видео.html
This song is played at the beginning of the movie
Their sound is just good old rock & roll with a splash of funk
Great feel good music
I wish we had this today
The world Would be a better place

Boy! Does this take me back to the 70s. I was a teenager and I remember watching Redbone on the Midnight Special back then.
This was a huge hit in 1974 ❤. Great song 😍👍 love it 💓
The La La La La La at the end of the song was how the love was gonna be. If u can picture it. Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
We had such wonderful music in the 70s! This was a crank-up-the-car-radio, sing-along-with-the-windows-down song. People driving by us would yell, "Does everybody have to listen to that??"
Love this group and have got friends that relate to this even more so due to their heritage.
Only my FAVORITE song for 50 years!!!! Never get tired of listening to it!!!
I heard this song a lot when I was a kid in the early 1970s and until this moment I never knew Redbone was an Indigenous band. Very cool. Always liked this song. Very catchy.
Fun fact...Jimi Hendrix was the one who encouraged Redbone to keep making music.Redbone is a Cajun term for"mixed breed"...in this case Native American-Mexican mix.
I never thought about the similarity to Motown, but you are correct. Redbone is "sho nuff" rocking this song. I love it. Thank you for this post.
Maggie. Serious. Potlatch. Great Album. Great records. Get your love.
Check out Rita Coolidge, another Native American musician.
Hey, Motown! 💜 You're right! I never thought of that and I have always loved that song from years back. I love Motown and it makes perfect sense.
This is 100% the best tune for a reaction video - always raises the hairs on the back of my neck.
Hii Harri , thank you , you got a grreat song , how you doin 🙏🏽✌🏽🧜🏻♀🧚🏻♀
Thank you Harri , you are wonderful

Even if the sound and performance quality are not always as good as studio recordings it’s much easier to get a sense of things when one can see and hear it.
Thank you, Harri!
Thanx Tony
The dance of joy before the band plays
One of my favorite songs.. just so fun.
It took me nearly my whole life to realize they were singing "Hail!" not "Hey!" in the chorus. I learned this after watching another reactor. I love how affirming it is. It's addressed to a woman to reassure her that nothing is wrong with her.
I remember them singing "Heyyyy". It's a Mandela Effect.
The actual lyrics is "hell", but Lolly changed it to hail for the live performance on Midnight Special
@@GaryCeaseGhostWolf Interesting!
This song was hugely famous for many years You used to even hear small snippets of the song in movies all the time.
The America I loved growing up in Washington, DC.
Always liked this song!
You’re on a roll, Harri! Love your selections. Peace out.
The dancer at the beginning was to protest the treatment of American Indians (not only at the time but previous treatment as well)...more specifically the incarceration of Leonard Peltier..who is still in prison today at a very advanced age.
Lolly Vegas, the singer, wrote the song originally titled Hail. The Pat and Lolly Vegas Band dominated the Sunset Strip clubs in the 1960's. Movie, TV, and writing songs for themselves and other artists.
1st Native American group to have a hit single. Love the intro of this video! Chanting back & forth is also part of Native American's traditions. But yes, it has a heavy soul influence too. Also listen to "Cherokee Nation" by Paul Revere & The Raiders.
Jimi Hendrix told them to be true to themselves and they certainly did. Love this band.
I remember hearing this song on the radio…not sure when. I never expected the native American look and feel to the band! It’s always interesting to put faces with the music. Nice! 🌺✌️

IT WAS IN THE POSTMAN YEP...
Harri, if you think you've heard it, you've heard it.
This is a sign when a generation realizes it's old. The songs we grew up with eventually all become commercials.
Started in 1960s as pat and Lillie there a group with big music great songs
I can't believe how little different genres mattered. With songs like "Come And Get Your Love" it didn't matter if I preferred rock, country and western, r&b or jazz. I like this song.
wow, with all this controversery up here in Canada over the un-named graves found on the residential School sites..this is very special.
Live version is great, but the studio version great too, and is filled with hooks.
You have been doing some great songs lately.
Thanx Tango
Harri, There is a Documentry out there called Rumble The Indians that rocked the world. it is a good watch RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World - Official Trailer - RUclips

It was remade in the 90s by some group, but it was also in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Is it amazing the different types of music there is in this world. If only people would keep an open mind . Love your reaction
We all come from different tribes. And they happened to come out with this great song. I'm glad I was born in the 60s and was able to lift through the 70s. And you may have heard it in guardians of the Galaxy.
Jimmy Hendrix was good friends with the two brothers Pat and Lolly and he suggested that they put a band together hence Redbone. They are Native American Indian and Mexican. Mixed Cultures. Cajuns called them Redbone. I love your reaction. Hehehe 😜.
A great, great, fun singalong...
I remember that very show! Every Friday night, my brother's (rip) and I would gather around the TV to jam out to those great concert shows! At the time, no one knew the show would end up being legendary!
The next night (Saturday Night) we did the same to Don Kirshner's Rock Concert! Loved those shows then... Love em now! Thanks for taking me back to great times!
It was a very popular song. Memories.......
Exactly
Its a trip

One of my favs too! Has such a happy fun beat you can't ever forget. Those were great times that I miss. Now it's no.quality of life just about survival it seems.
Just so you know Harri I really appreciate you, your style & your reactions.
The good thing I found during the lock down days of COVID was RUclips and people like you who discover the music of my youth. I brings me joy to see your enthusiasm and appreciation! Love it!!!
Harri, love your reaction to Redbone, something in the same era and genre the late B.J.THOMAS with "Hooked on a Feeling ", you'll love it. Take care kid and cheerio from Glasgow.
Loved Redbone ❤ Loved the Wounded Knee song 😊 Had the album once ❤❤❤
@HarriBest Reactions Thank you for the reaction! I don't know if anyone commented on this already, but this is an original Redbone song. They wrote it and performed it. They had other songs in other genres, but this one was particularly unique. It was also a big hit in the early 70s. That chorus will stick in your head for months! That's probably why you recognize it. You probably have heard it.
Oh yeah there's a lot more redbone out there they had some other hits they put on an incredible live show it's just that nobody was ready for them to walk out on stage in native apparel shocked a few people in the best of ways.
I was a baby in 1969. I grew up to Come & get your Love. By Redbone.
This song is classic, I remember it playing when I was a kid. Great song, love it. ❤ love is universal
