As a black person during that time we didn't care what color people were. We just loved good music. It was a time of just being free to feel the music without color.
Absolutely. Racism was dying in the 70s and 80s.... WTF happened? Americans today need to figure out that the only way racism will end is if people stop BEING racists - we almost had that - almost.
And then the democrats CREATED racial tensions, promoted hatred etc. It's the truth. Growing up in the 70's, nobody cared what anyone was. We were just people. And we got along.
Indians and Mexican young men who looked like any other early 60's male singing group, but when they embraced their heritage they were fire! I am from Oklahoma so we are all part Indian, and being 1/4 myself we always called Indian and not Native American.
Forgive me for saying Native American. My fathers family is from Oklahoma and my Grandmother's relatives came to Dallas for her funeral. My mother was into doing family trees so they brought some info from Grandmothers side. We have Indian ties in OK. Explained her black hair and easy to tan complexion and she didn't go grey til her 80s. Hard to trace though. In my Grandmother's time and before you didn't admit your Indian heritage if you were living or married in the white world. It was passed down verbally thru family and letters which they brought with them. I was very excited about the connection. Wish I knew more but anymore info died with my ancestor. It just wasn't talked about due to discrimination. We were told lost Catawba tribe, but my mother was unable to follow it further. Of course we did not have DNA then, and my mom passed away in 1994. Didn't have Ancestry DNA testing you had to request records the hard way. Lol. My older sister has taken up the mantle.
Yes!! Native Americans!! The true Americans. We didn't look at color or race back then. We loved and were loved. Peace brother. We just loved music. Black, brown, white, red and yellow!! We were a one people. Can't make the younger generation understand that, what is so hard about respect and love.
Not the original inhabitants of this country! Archeologists made a documentary about The Aboriginal American whom arrived here 38,000 years ago. And YES THEY WERE BLACK! Choke on your hatred of true facts…😃
Absolutely this. Our 'controllers' brought Racism back. In the 70s, tv shows and commercials had Americans of all colors represented. We all cried when Pops died on Good Times. We all counted one another as part of our community - we ignored color and were responsible for our character. The indoctrinators (leftists) of today have burdened our children and youth with self-hatred and that breeds contempt. They follow the doctrine of the ENEMY of humanity. Choose this day whom you will serve.. Loving sacrificial Creator or The father of Lies/false light.
I got pulled over on the I-10 freeway many years ago. Got my first ticket ever. I was crying like a doek, and pulled into a rando neighborhood. I was on the phone with my sister. Still crying. The lead singer and his grandson heard me, and came out of their house to ask if i was okay? He invited me and my daughter into his house. I was a little surprised, because I recognized him. He had a complete studio in his house. He made me a cd of come and get your love. It was a trip.
Wow, how cool! Life is a trip. I grew up in the same area as the founders of this band in the Central San Joaquin Valley(Coalinga/Huron). Its good to hear how they treated you!
I was there too. The lead singer and I just did some psychedelics in a sweat lodge. Funny thing is that the great spirit told is to go outside and we’ll meet someone who just got her first traffic ticket. While we were walking to the front yard. He told me that he thought the rock group “Traffic” had already dispersed. So how could someone get a ticket to see the group. But, when found out it was a different kind of traffic ticket. We Lol’d .
You're showing your age. I have a 44 year old daughter. So, yeah I barely remember Wolfman Jack, I remember Don Kirshners Midnight Special more than Wolfman Jack. But, I do remember. We could say the clock has already struck Midnight. Lol I just realized you said, 60 now... Wow. I missed that. I turned 60 March 25th. Lol
This was a monster hit. We loved Redbone. No one cared what anyone’s race or ethnicity was. Every genre of music was part of Top40 radio. We had a melting pot and love and respect.
I feel so sorry for the young people today. Everything is so polarized. Back in the day nobody cared about what race anyone was. It was just great music and we loved everyone. I am so blessed to have been there.
There were still hate back in those days, but people were more tolerant of each other. Racism was still flying high. But I will stay in the music arena people got along. I was born in 71. Anne was adopted by white hippie family and I'm black female. So I saw both sides. Oh, and I can't tell you how often I was one if not very few Black people at a lot of concerts. I didn't care nobody else did either for the most part. But I'm a rare breed as well as my family and I have a sister who's Cherokee Indian and brother who is also black and my parents had three children of their own and 37 foster kids so I grew up in a huge melting pot of people of all different cultures, and still do. We all get along and love each other so seeing other people that don't get along I find very strange.... And always have and had to learn at a very early age that it's pure ignorance.
As a sixties teen, all of this was settled years ago. We enjoyed all talent. Period. This is why we don't understand the division today. The fact that people are going back to this band today and "discovering" them when they are part of our history? It shows how poorly educated we are in this country. Kudos to you for the research.
One of my favourite songs of all time. Jimi Hendrix gave Redbone advice to represent their culture on stage. Jimi's own grandmother was Native American.
Yes, I LMAO, what a response, PRICELESS, no worries there is so much music out there it's hard to know all that's there. In the 60's & 70's there were probably, with not much exaggeration over 10000 Bands on the radio and on record labels recording, hence the proliferation of one hit wonders.
People didn’t care about race, color, creed or ethnicity. Do you have talent??? That’s all that mattered. And we got talent. Diverse talent. And it was fan-freaking-tastic!!!
@@haydeeze I’m not speaking about racial tensions of the times. I’m specifically referring to music. It was the one thing that was uniting. It didn’t matter if as long as you were talented. We didn’t care what color you were. I should have been more specific.
Glad that younger generations are learning! For some of us it’s nothing, we grew up hearing and seeing this diversity. Love music, it doesn’t matter your bias or background. Redbone - the name says it all - for their background. Be BETTER!
I'm sliding in to 70 years old now and I used to LIVE for "Midnight Special!" It was a real treat. I grew up poor and never had the money to go to concerts so it was one way for me to SEE the artists that I enjoyed!
I'm an older Gen X and so is my brother-in-law. He had the same stunned/thunderstruck look on his face, when I showed the video to him. My BIL totally knew the song, and lovec it, but no idea they were Native Americans. What made it so very funny, is that my BIL is a full blood Navajo. He liked the song before, but now he thinks it's awesome.
@@atencio1372 But you do understand what he is saying. Allowing the term "Indian" to become polarizing is not what you should allow in your own mind. Many tribes call themselves Indians to this very day. Does that make them racists or bigots? Of course not! It is the meaning, negative or positive, an individual person pours into any term. If it is spoken with contempt it is wrong but if it is spoken in a neutral or positive fashion then who cares? This whole First Nations business has never clicked with me and I was around when it was first coined back in the 1970s by the know-it-alls in Toronto, the centre of the known universe. So I see how it is used by the woke and the PC and they are just divisive people looking to get an advantage over other people with their hip terminology.
I'm so glad to grow up in the 70's. We were not shocked by Redbone. Redbone in Southern California in the early 70's. Straight up West Coast sound!! There are many great indigenous musicians in rock. Link Wray is one of the greatest guitarists ever to live.
I’m 74. I never knew until about one year ago when I saw this on utube. I had never seen them on tv before. I never thought about if they were black or white or anything. We just all loved this song.❤ Nancy Lee here. Take care.
I also never knew. I also found it on utube, and was totally shocked! I told my music lover buds at work, and none of them knew. We had no MTV, only Midnight Special ... and, if you were allowed to watch it!
They would start out this song like this at their concerts . This being a national TV show they had to do this to honor their heritage. My son inlaw is native American and he and his family are very proud of it. We didn't care what nationality, color or religion artists were. We just cared about the music 🎶 🎵.
Lolly Vegas wrote this about the ladies of the evening they would see outside the clubs where they played. The girls would say to them....."Come and get your love." Lolly knew the phrase was gold and he wrote the song. He and his brother Pat were Mexican American of native descent. They also wrote "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee". It was considered very controversial and some stations wouldn't play it even though it was popular and moving up the charts. This was in 1973. Redbone was an incredible group. They paid their dues and played clubs for many years before their hit. Lolly died quite a few years back. I think his brother may still be alive and playing. I loved Redbone way back then and now. Voices of our generation still speaking truth today.
We were SO far beyond today's culture. All were accepted, appreciated, their music was loved if it was good no matter what race. WTH has happened to us?
A black man was elected president and the rich bigots lost their damn minds. After serving 2 terms, they nominated the anti-obama clown known as IQ45 (at least to me anyway) who made it acceptable to be a self serving asshole.
You’re not alone, man. I’m 57 and was kind of in that generation and loved this song but never knew anything about the band that did it! So thank you for opening my eyes!
In the late 60s early 70s we really just had the mindset that everyone can appreciate each other's cultures. There was a great interest in Native Americans and their relationship to the land along with the understanding that they were treated horribly by the government. I don't know what happened to make so many feel different. Music is a universal language.
Imagine only eating vanilla ice cream that your mom brings home from the grocery store. That's all you know about ice cream. Then one day you walk into an ice cream store and realize there are thousands of other flavors! That's what discovering all the music that's out here feels like! Eye opening and delicious! ❤
As a youngster, I heard this band on the radio and jukebox and had no idea they were native american...nor did I care. I loved the music. We have been separated over time by slices. That is some big time a-holery!
I'm 60 yeas old, a woman. I remember watching this performance when it first aired on tv. I knew the song, as it was already a radio hit. I thought the guy in black was so handsome...lol. And I remember dancing in the living room to this song. My parents were on a weekend vacation and none of my 3 siblings were home either...had the 19 inch t.v. to myself and I cranked up the volume on that little 3 inch speaker...lol.
I disagree, I think we SHOULD be amazed. Amazement leads to encouragement which, in turn, leads to more creativity. Which leads to the part that I agree with, an almost infinite creativity.
Don't forget CHER. She was the first native American female rock star. Boomers and gen x aren't who your told we are. We were diverse and loved each other. But that's another story. Thank you so much. GREAT video GREAT song.
The term "redbone" was used for a short time as a derogatory term for Native Americans. Until these boys took it and said "just watch what what we do with it." This is one of the best songs to have ever been recorded. You can't be in a bad mood when listening to it.
. The term Redbone is a slang Cajun term for a person of mixed race.. Hence the Mexican/Native American ethnicity of this group. Btw, it is the great Jimi Hendrix who suggested they use the name and start a band..
We did not care about individual heritage. Skin color was not a problem anymore. Music is the language of love and our music fine examples of merit. True talent, no auto tune.
Redbone's "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" is worth a listen. It was a huge hit in the UK in 1971. Made it to number 2 in the UK charts. Only kept off the top spot by Rod Stewart's "Maggie May".
I enjoy your enthusiasm when you find something new. As for reaching the end of the internet, not even close. I'm 71, and keep on finding more cool stuff out there, new and old. Keep listening.
I'm 61 yo and I have loved this song since the first time I've heard it. My grandson like's it as well. I even use it as my ringtone. You might wanna try listening to "Witch Queen of New Orleans"
Really and truly, back in the day (60's & 70's), young people were more together than ever because of the music ...so we just loved everyone for who they were and went from there..... There are always problems, but the music made everything and everyone the same.....just grooving to the music, period.
Soy nativoamericano, de la Etnia Cochimi del linaje Yumano . Tanto tengo familia Nativa en EEUU , como aquí en mi tierra Baja California, y me siento orgulloso de lo que hicieron estos chicos . Auka 👋 Saludos desde Ensenada Baja California, Mex.
Redbone is definitely a native American band! There's another native American band called Blackfoot! They had hits with Train Train and Highway Song! You should definitely check out Blackfoot! Ricky Medlocke who is lead guitarist in Lynard Skynard is also native American and he was lead of Blackfoot!
Blackfoot of "Train Train" fame is also formed by members who have indigenous lineage. Redbone was inducted into the Native American Music Association Hall of Fame in 2008,[as well as the NY Smithsonian in 2013. Rita Coolidge is also Native American and has several great songs under her belt.She just turned 79 on May 1st. She was once married to Kris Kristofferson and toured with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell back in the day.
I am from Sask Canada. This is awesome. I played hockey with many indigenous and they are amazing athletes. Plus I went to a pow wow. Unreal artists athletes etc Wake up people we all have talents. Come together not further apart.
They MOSTLY identified with their "indian" heritage BUT, they also had native Mexican heritage. They descended from several tribes, like MOST Americans. . . . .
My husband died in February of 2021. During his last year of his life he knew he was winding down to his end. He ran back across this song and we listened to it a lot in that last year. So this one has a very recent reason for being special to me. Thanks BP. I truly appreciate it. I figured that you would get a kick out of the native tradition that they bring to their performances. I’m white as a snowflake but there’s three different strains of Indian blood running around in my veins and if I could I would get up and dance with him.
Yeah Redbone was the best. I used to watch this very show. I also remember when Alcatraz prison was closed I was rooting for the Indigenous people to get it back.
Midnight Special was a Staple in my life every week like clockwork. And I never saw this performance. Native Americans getting their flowers. I love it being from Canada. I love how music brings the world together ❤️ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Back in the day, when mostly you just heard the music on the radio, you didn't really care who or what the singers were, you were just interested in how well they sang!
The look on your face made me laugh. Living on the rez we have musicians who do traditional, country, rock, rap. Redbone always shared some traditional things in their shows.
The dance at the beginning was a celebration of their heritage. So cool. There was an Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas reservation not far from where I live. (Southeast Texas). As a child we would go to the reservation with our parents. It was open to the public. We would go to learn of the Native heritage culture and buy souvenirs. At sundown the Natives would put on a show demonstrating this type of dance and costume. The dance tells a story. The program was called "Beyond the Sundown". It was amazing. The history and culture is rich. This was back in the day before gambling became a means of income for Native reservations. As a child the experience taught me to respect Native Americans. They are a beautiful people.
