Redbone - Come And Get Your Love | REACTION

Glad you liked our song. You'd probably like our other songs "Wovoka" and "Maggie". "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" was our first hit. Aretha even covered our "Niki Hokey". Some of our videos are on youtube...

Thank you for all the kind words. Lolly (lead singer) and Tony (Dancer & Rhythm guitar) died in 2009. It's just me (drums), Pat (bass) and Pete (original drummer) are the only ones still alive. After Tony and I quit the group he and I formed a 13 piece R&B band called "Bim Bam" There's a video of us on youtube doing one of my originals "Bringin' It Back"...Pat is still touring as Redbone with different members. The 2 bros also wrote "Niki Hokey" which was originally recorded by PJ Proby then later recorded by Aretha Franklin...

Redbone should be in rock and roll hall of fame brilliant

Arguably, one of the greatest Midnight Special performances in the history of the show. This song was earth-shaking and helped to wake many people up to Native-American causes. Even after all the decades that have gone by, it still is a jaw-dropping performance.

I am a redbone ,multiracial Spaniard and Apache. Love the song, I was in high school 73-74 when the song debuted. The meaning of the (lyrics by lolly Vegas) “it’s a love song to his girl that she is beautiful just the way she looks, encouraging his lover to embrace her inner beauty and feel good about her body “.

Apparently one of the reasons why not many people know Redbone is because once they started releasing more music that shed light on the genocide and injustices done to Indigenous people, the radio stations started boycotting them. It’s so unfortunate because they’re such a talented band! They deserve more recognition for sure. I love that so many young people our age now know about them!

Native American culture is just so amazingly beautiful and soulful ❣️❣️❣️

Yes, this was my time when I was a teenager and I am now 65 years of age now. They are awesome.

The man dancing in the beginning was Tony Bellamy.. he was my neighbor for years in Irvine CA. He taught me how to play guitar..

Lolly was married to one of my cousins for a short time in the mid 70's. She would bring him over to my aunts house in LA and he'd show me stuff on guitar. I was around 10yrs old and just starting to play. He was a frickin rock star but super sweet and patient to me. Made a huge and lasting impact on my life. Love and respect to this super cool dude.

I don't understand why this band was so underrated, listen to all their songs! and please listen to "One more time", you won't be able to stop dancing!

I still can't get enough of that performance... ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND I'M OLD... it's the best.

The dance is called "fancy dance", it's one of many dances the Native culture use during ceremonies and powwows. The dances are taught from the time your a child and hold great significance.

I'm Native. I love that you watched this! This is my jam.

In the last two weeks, I've probably listened to this song 10 times and I'm not kidding. When it came out in 1974, people were shocked that it was a Native American group, (people weren't use to seeing Native Americans play this type of music) but once people settled down, they loved it.

Also being native american, we are proud with what they did in the 70's. They also have other songs to this day I still listen to. Being raised on R&B music I still listen to all genres of music. Music is life. ❤🫶 I enjoy your reactions.

The 70's were magical. Gosh I miss that time period.

Jamel's look of complete delight when they started the song-priceless!

One of the greatest bass openings ever to a song!

They should be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame - the song " We were all wounded and Wounded Knee" is probably why they were kept out , was not played on the radio in the North America , huge hit in Europe. When they played it at Kerrisdale Arena in Vancouver in 1976 , the crowd went crazy , loved it. Lolly was a fantastic and under rated guitarist. RIP Lolly
