Viewed this interview many times and it's so sad that Lolly passed away shortly after. However, I am so thankful that he was so generous to share his heart and soul to us through his musical genius, and will live on through all of Redbone's music. He's in Rock and Roll Heaven now, in the forefront of the greatest band ever!!💖💋💓
It’s kind of disheartening that Mr. Vegas didn’t live long enough to see the reappraisal of Redbone in the mid to late 2010s. We could say Come and Get Your Love is a bigger hit now than in the 70s
Regardless of a persons age, if you love them, you should tell them everytime you see them, it could be the last chance you get to say "I love you". RIP Lolly and RIP Della Reese I hope you two have having a great time on the other side.
oh man...I loved Redbone. So sad about Lolly. Getting old is Not for sissies. But while he was here.....he had an awesome band. So under rated. Great songs...Great band....How I miss them!
Lolly has to be among the absolute greatest songwriters, guitarists and singers of all time. The band Redbone was an other-worldly phenomena that left an indelible mark in the history of American and World art and culture. We've all heard the hits but listen to the albums- there's so much inspiring and brilliant work therein. "Alcatraz" still gives me chills. Love forever.
I think he passed just 4 months later. It makes me so sad to see him looking down instead of at the camera, I think he was diffident about being seen in his current condition. Still beautiful and gracious.
so simply sensationell- i was born 1960 in the austrian alps and grew up with Redbone since back in 1971. Not much americans can say that.... LOL - LOLLY Vegas. ... nowadays - germans had to bring up to reservations... ;-)
Lolly Vegas was most likely at the end of his life here. We, as a society, did not help our Native American people to thrive. We harmed them. I hate that we did that.
