🎵 Redbone - Come and Get Your Love REACTION 

I was a teenager in the 70s I remember seeing them on the midnight special thought it was cool but honestly we didn't care what the artists looked like as long as they played good music

I'm an Indian who was a teenager in the 70's too, and all the 'skins knew this was an Indian band and it was played a lot on the rez.

@@JustMe-gn6yf you can't be what you can't see.

I was a teenager in the 70`s living in the Netherlands and in our charts this was number one for 5 weeks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AvZbmLJlSoM.html

Got to get these two to listen to Buffy StMarie and The amazing Pura Fe ... both stellar first Nation artists. 🇬🇧🧙‍♂️.

Yes, this song was on the radio a lot back in the day. At least in Southern California.

Sure it was. But how you going to remind them that they remember it from the 70's? They aren't time travelers so that's why we envoke Guardians. That's the cultural reference that Lex may know.

@@mgordon1100 True. I have nothing to counter that. :)

@@dennytaylor1005 That's a damned shame. I was kind of hoping you would, because I'm bored. 😉 Happy 4th! 🎆✨

@@mgordon1100 the 70s is culture history. Reminding people that there was a world before they're born is important.

And Don Kirchner's rock concert

Midnight Special

@@ronzimmerman268 ABC In Concert on Friday Nights in The Early 70's, Don Kirchner Was The Executive Producer !!

@@loudog2326 yeah, and ABC in concert was brought back again in the 90s, although I don't know if Don Kirshner had anything to do with that later version.

Im 53 and I miss the MIdnight special....from then...I dont think id want to watch it now though

Also F is For Family.

This song was also featured in an episode of Hulu's 'Reservation Dogs'.

Buffy StMarie sang the theme song for Soldier Blue.. as well as the classic Universal Soldier.

It was in The Postman too.

Same here!

George McRae's "Rock Your Baby" is the song that inspired Bjorn and Benny to come up with Dancing Queen for ABBA.

two songs that shaped 13 year old me

@@Zaroubi Same here!

Yes! They do a great cover of Marie Laveau! Country Singer Bobby Bare done the version i heard first but Dr. Hook done it originally...

He's too busy deciphering the lyrics lol

Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special was great. Burt is still alive and kicking along with his wife Mary Hart (Entertainment Tonight). See them all the time on TV at Los Angeles Dodger games sitting right behind home plate in the 1st row.

Fantastic bit of history, thank you for sharing that!

So true. I was a teen in the 70s. At live stadium venues, as well as theatres, and auditoriums, when the lights went down, it was like everyone arrived in the same car. Sharing, understanding, respect, etc.. I tend to think more about that time than present day. No us and them feeling that is splitting our country in half. I don't remember all that hate I'm seeing now. I'm from Cherokee County, North Ga.. My first school was Ball Ground Elementary, named for its township and the location where the Cherokee Indians were known to use the area as its name implies. The Etowah river runs through the county. Sadly, a Walmart was built near my childhood home and atop the site of an Indian village. When crews began uncovering artifacts, construction was "slowed" and some precious artifacts were salvaged. Cherokee and other trnative Americans became aware, and understandibly protested. How could they not. A nearby college, Reinhardt, has an exhibit that includes some of the history. Also, the county nextdoor, Bartow, has a huge burial mound and nearby museums. As a child, a close relative I'd see often at my two Great Aunts home, carried himself much more towards his mothers heritage. Physically more recognizable as Native American. His mother was full Cherokee from the Walking Stick tribe. I cherish every minute I can recall spent with him. He is listed on our Henson family tree (Tom), which dates back to 1730, Culpepper Virginia. It's truly sad what we've done to a culture (Native Americans including Cherokee) known for creating their own alphabet, often of wealth, stikingly attractive in their dress and appearance, and in cases, living in houses with beautiful gardens, when their aggressors did not. Each summer our county holds the Cherokee County Mother's Day Pow Wow and Indian Festival, a weekend event at the Etowah River's edge. Next May will be the 32nd annual. Indians come from around the country to camp, dance and present traditional demonstrations. With the world itself seemingly at threat and hate manifesting itself in the form of multiple mass murdering of children, long range bombing of hospitals, etc., we should all remember change starts with us. Didn't intend to get on a soapbox like that (or write a book).

Lolly had such a great voice!

Where's "here?" It definitely charted in the US.

@@jaye4485 In the UK. I said that in the original post!

The Witch Queen of New Orleans was a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That song peaked at the #21 spot during the spring of 1972. That song was Redbone's debut hit.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Definitely checking that out.

I watch midnight special on RU-vid often. 💕

Yeah, NAHKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly !!

The Witch Queen of New Orleans hit the music charts but not number one

Preach!

and , "The witch queen of New Orleans" and "We were all wounded at Wounded Knee" ???

Too bad they were basically a one hit wonder. It would have great to see them have multiple hits.

@@KingCthe5 in uk i think witch queen was the better known song

@@eggy1962 in the UK yes but in 1973 "We were all wounded at Wounded Knee" was 5 weeks on number one in the Dutch charts. Record label CBS Records refused to release "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee" in the United States due to critical lyrics
