Redbone - Come & Get Your Love *DayOne Reacts* 

I believe they are the first Native American band to hit the top 100 on the rock chart

As a kid, I used to go to bed early so I could get up to watch The Midnight Special every Saturday night. Still the best ever, and live music like Redbone is just the beginning..

One of the best pop songs of the 70s. True classic.

They killed it live! One of the catchiest songs of all time!

Lolly Vegas, the singer in the video, passed away a decade or so back. He's buried in the same cemetery they buried one of my uncles in more recently. RIP. I met him 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. Plus, free beer!

Redbone is an American rock band founded in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All band members during their commercial peak were of Mexican American and Native American heritage, which was reflected in their songs, stage costumes, and album art. 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. It also made Redbone the first Native American band to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, with the song reaching number 5. The word "redbone" is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, which the band adopted to signify their mixed ancestry.

I've always loved this song since hearing it on my transistor radio as a child in the 70's

This came out my freshman year of high school (right around we got snowed in - what makes it a big deal - it was in the SF Bay Area). One of those songs that no many times I have heard it, I always enjoy it and it puts a smile on my face. I have said this numerous times, I feel very blessed being a teenager in the 1970s - we were exposed to a lot of different genres.

one of the coolest tunes of the 70s, the lyrics are great. well done.

It always gets me when all the reactors who have reacted to Come and Get Your Love, ALWAYS say that they recognized it from "Guardians of the Galaxy." That makes me realize how POPULAR that movie was among young people (makes sense) For me, when this song was popular, I was already in my early 20's, and when I finally watched "Guardians of the Galaxy" a couple of years ago, at the URGING of my 3 adult sons who are in their 40s, I was SURPRISED and STUNNED to hear it at the first scene or so!! NEVER thought I would hear it in a movie. I LOVE the whole soundtrack from that movie, because of the songs. GLAD you got to SEE the band who sang that song! GREAT REACTION!!

This song was featured in Reservation Dogs and also Chris Pratt dancing to this in an opening scene of Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Witch Queen of New Orleans is my fav song from this band, great October song.

An absolute banger i have enjoyed for years and years but never realised the native american origin of the music and the band! Elevates the music and respect even higher. What a great great suprise. Wow, i'm so happy to know that. Great choice and great reaction Angela.

The song most know, but had no idea who did it, or that they were Native Indian/Mexican. Groundbreaking for those of us old as dust who got to boogie down to there stuff.

One of the all time greats I just could listen to this forever! Every time I hear it I gotta smile !

My dad sung this song always when my mom was sad or depressed and it always ended in a big hug and kiss.

R.I.P. Lolly & Tony (T-Bone)..May Your Spirits Fly Free My Native Brothers.❤ Navajo/Bil Hozhoni (The Happy One)

Just love when youngins finally hear our music...........

Loved this when I was young. Now it brings up Guardians of the Galaxy every time I hear it.

No matter how you have your hair, it always looks so pretty!!! 👌

"Cause You're Fine,, And You're Mine,, And You Look So Devine"

Thanks beautiful Angela 🥰 a song from my childhood & teen years in the 70s.

I got to him sing,6,7 yrs ago at a small venue, and he sang it, sweet, and got to talk to him, song makes you want to move

So the first day of school after this performance everyone was talking about not knowing they were Native Americans and everyone was blown away by how great they were. It was a big deal

Boney, you are right. I live in Las Vegas and I meet lots of people. There is a vegas act called Status. The lady in this band is Sarah Vegas who is the daughter of the bass guitar player in Redbone. She is a very good singer in her own right. Her father is still living but her uncle who is the lead singer of Redbone is deceased unfortunately. This song is okay.

Love your smile and joy listening 🫶

many rock bands like that here in wonderful Mexico!

Yeah I remember this tune well. I never knew they were an indigenous group until now. There's a group called "Indigenous" that was popular in the late 90s. The band originally consisted of two brothers, Mato Nanji, Pte, along with their sister, Wanbdi. I believe they were from the Nakota Nation tribe. Some of their musical influences were Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. Check out "Nothing I Can Do". Really excellent Blues/rock genre. Stay safe.. peace to all my indigenous brothers & sisters.

This is the song you listen to when you steal a magic stone.

their song "witch queen" is also worth a reaction.

The word "redbone" is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, which the band adopted to signify their mixed ancestry. Yes, the only Native American with a Hot-100 song,,...#5 on the charts!

In the beginning...powwow dancer performing in front of the band, introducing millions to a Native traditional dance they had most likely never seen before.

I had always thought he was saying Hey but listen closely because he is actually saying Hail. Lolly chose to use this word which pretty much has the same meaning as Hey because it's the word that he and most native Americans use in everyday speech when they were wanting someone to listen to what they had to say. For instance when you hail a cab you are wanting the driver to hear you. No big deal, but as I said I had always thought it was Hey myself until I started watching interviews with Redbone. Hail is a verb that can have different meanings depending on the context1234: To call someone in order to attract their attention134. To describe someone or something as being very good or special2. To cheer, salute, or greet; welcome3. To acclaim; approve enthusiastically3. To call out to in order to stop, attract attention, ask aid, etc.3. To call or wave to someone to get their attention4. If it hails, small, hard pieces of frozen rain fall from the sky4.

Like you said, a very catchy and upbeat tune! I'm not aware if they had any other hits, but I'm sure they are capable of having multiple hits!

I love the representation in this song

I grew up with this song.

If that came on at any club it would cause some dancing lol

You should check out the recorded version of this song. The horns and strings made this song very popular in 1974. Almost 20 years later a Eurodance group from Germany covered this song and hit #1 on the dance charts.

Great song!! Always enjoyed it!!

This was all over the radio back in the mid-Seventies.

Great iconic song from much, much more fun times.

Starlord would be so proud of you!

Pat and lally are great band live performances

The Midnight Special, special moment

I remember watching this. Midnight Special was a must!

Great classic rock song!! ❤👍🏽 Didn't realize it was the opening song tho!! 🙄😂

This is one of those songs where the studio version is much better! Please react to that one, then voice your opinion!

Welcome to the tribe

It's cool that they are native Americans

I remember watching this on Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack. That was my generations MTV

Great picks today

I think most younger people these days should recognize this as being the opening song in Guardians Of The Galaxy as Quill is bopping along lip syncing to it.

classic great song!

The whole band was an American Indian band❤

Hi Ms. D., I good song by Real American Indians.. I love the tribal dance.. ♠W.G.

Lots of indigenous rock bands over the past few decades (including Indigenous; see Mato Nanji), went nowhere, but real talent is seldom appreciated. Especially if you try to create a pop song to make a buck. If you can dig up Redbones' records, you would be amazed by what they the recorded.

That was a revised live concert version. It was good but not the original sound without the presong ritual..

another fine pick dayone!!

Your reaction was fun. Brief. Haven't seen your stuff around. Now youtube thinks this is all i want; hmm, shallow youtube, fun video. Thanks.

Thanks for posting!

Love it!

It's " hail " i also thought it said " hey " at first

Nice chair dancing!

Favorites Very Kool Song....Party Song ❤

The studio version is much better but I have liked this song since it came out.

Lake, their song Time Bomb

Makes me want to dance with you

Good song

good choice sister 💋🕊🔥🌕🌹🖤🤍🦄😎

Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, LOL

This is

Go American Indians besides this all I can think of American Indian is Wayne Newton and cher.

No sound

Hey your very cute girl! Ok

Redbone are singing Hell not hey

yes..you picked the absolute worst version to listen to

ANGELA : I would find it amazing if you would review/ cover rock band STRYPER ("FREE","TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL", other old stuff...)!!!☺

How about doing Steve Vai Bad Horsie live.
