Redbone members Lolly Vegas and Iron Joe Interview in 2006. 

Even with having suffered a stroke this great man's mind is sharp as a tack! What a great gift he was to us all.

I met Lolly in 1978. We became fast friends. He hosted my bachelor party at his home in 1981 and honored us by singing "Come and Get Your Love" at our wedding! He was a warm, funny, talented and loyal friend.

RIP Lolly. You made a lot of people proud.

I'm wounded but not slain. That's courage I admire.

One of a kind rock band from the '70s. The "Come and Get Your Love" song is a timeless song, a true classic. May Lolly Vega rest in peace, and God, Jehovah, bless him.

The reporter, Christy Martínez, did an excellent job filming and interviewing Lolly Vegas, his family, and friends at Lolly's house.

I graduated from high school in 1974. What a gift he gave to all of us.

What a nice guy Lolly was, he was so kind to this interviewer in spite of her inexperience.

RIP Lolly Vegas! Your legacy will live on forever!

What a handsome man. I'm in love with him.

Lolly Vegas is one of my favorite rock musicians of all time. I’m not even sure why, but I just really like the guy Spirit and his strength.

The best thing about 60's-70's Rock is that just about every bit of it is still great over 50 years later.

If the Vegas family sees this message, I want you to know that Come and Get Your Love was my favorite song in 1974. That song just hit me! Hands-down nothing was close. He created a masterpiece and I so appreciated it. You all should be so proud of his accomplishment where he had a # 5 song in 1974 with a ton of airplay in Boston and around the USA. I will never forget it. As a matter of fact, I was going to exercise today and the song came on the radio so I waited till the song was over before I shut the car off. Just like back in 1974. Rest In Peace and thank you Lolly Vegas!

I have been doing a lot of research, and watching every video and reading every interview and watching every interview from people who knew Lolly, who were members of the band, family members, and anyone who happened to come in contact with him. I have not heard one person who has ever said anything negative about Lolly Vegas. Everyone who ever met him, came in contact with him, or knew him, loved him and talked about what a wonderful and sweet and loyal person that he was. In spite of all his Fame and popularity, Lolly was married to the same woman for 46 years! That should tell you something about this man. He also attended Dr Reverend Della Reese's Church in Los Angeles, and was a member as he put it "of her flock". He spent his last few years on this Earth helping people whenever and wherever he could.

The Vegas family is awesome live on brother

Love you FOREVER Lolly ❤️

August 21, 2023...your the best REDBONE. Come and get your love is such a beautiful song LOVE YOU LOLLY..RIP WITH OUR LORD SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ❤

god bless you red brother from a black brother. rest in peace (tears in my eyes) rest in peace warrior,lolly. may the most high be pleased with you.

I had the hugest crush on Lolly. I still play their music. My 3 year old Granddaughters favorite dance song is "come And Get Your Love". Lolly is missed. I am so thankful my teen years were the 70's. Truly legends 💕

Great songs come and get your love 💘❤

Its 2021 here in Italy, l Love Lolly Vegas . Best wishes 🌻🌹🌻🌹🌻🌹

2023 and i still love Lolly and Pat Vegas. The most gorgeous men ever.

Lolly Vegas was talent extraordinairre, an unmatched voice that cut to the soul, and a genius song writer. His spirit lives on......top great man!

Love the Native Indian culture. Beautiful family🌷 My great-great grandmother full blooded Cherokee Indian. We have her picture dressed in Beautiful Indian Attire.

RIP Lolly Vegas

I still love that song , still play it everyday while camping in the in Quachita mountains.thank u brother , Respect ""

My heart is broken....didn't know he had passed....I have been in love with him since forever !!!!

RIP Lolly, one of the best guitarists of the 60's and 70's. Hendrix said Lolly was one of his favorite players. That is bonafides!!! I loved the Creole influence he brought, Redbone could get thick and swampy!!

You watch their performance on Midnight Special, when Lolly was this magnificently fine young man, and then this -- it blows your mind to think how time and disability seem to have altered him so completely, but then towards the end when he is standing up with Joe, he flashes that big smile and you see he is the same person inside. Don't waste time, young 'uns. Even the greatest possible talent and beauty are not yours forever. Though I agree the interview is poorly done, the part where his nieces and nephews flood in at the end is priceless. You can tell how much they love him and that is pretty cool.

I. Loved. Come. And. Get. Ur. Love. The signature. Native American. Percussion. Background. Sound. Was. A self. Fulfilling. Prophecy. Indeed. Redbone. Blew. Me. Away. Big-time. Just. The. Greatest. Sound. I. Still. Can't. Believe. This. Melody❤🌈☘️

What a great singer/songwriter.

What a bunch of judgemental people. She did fine. And at least she took the time to use her resources and go and interview the man.That alone shows her interest. I don't think any of you people judging her did that. Good job Christina Martinez! And Raza Hookups And Baddest Oldies! And thank you. You brought to light things I never knew about this group that I love.

In 1974, I was the Video Tape Engineer at the (then) WKID-TV-51 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. when one day, these guys just showed up in the studio and they were there to do a lip-sync to this (their hit song at the time) and no one was there to run cameras. I put on a video tape, set it to record and let it roll... then went out into the large Studio B to operate a camera, where these guys were dressed (as shown) and they proceeded to lip-sync to the song for a video for later airing. They were truly very funny and a joy to work with. They lip-synced but actually verbalized OTHER words to it, and it was hilariously funny. We had to do a few takes to get it right. I even have some photos I took that day but they are on slides. I clearly remember the feathers they then had hanging from the neck of their guitars. If you were in your 20's then... you would remember this group for sure...

My band shared the stage with Lolly at the Hollywood Palladium in 1967. His band came on before us and they kicked ass. Did a couple of R&B tracks. All were impressed.

It is tragic that Guardians of the Galaxy would use the song after Lolly died and he would not have enjoyed all that renewed fame. Thanks so much Redbone!

Lolly Vegas.. Thanks for all.. one of a kind.. No goodbyes.. just a farewell..

I'm one sixteenth native love these guys . I thought he was so handsome . Finly a native American role model.

Hi Lolly - It’s October 1, 2021and I still watch your videos of “Come & Get Your Love” from 1974 - Love it!! You have an awesome voice and stage presence - Love to hear and watch you all sing - Love your voice! Congratulations for your success! You deserve the best life has to offer ♥️

Poor baby. He doesn't look very good here. Like the color has drained for him. My Mom had a huge crush on him, back in the day. Must've been fighting the cancer, even 4 years before he died. So sad to know he passed. Thank you for sharing your talent and music with us. Blessings to your family.

You are still so fine looking I love all of your music specially come and get your love your hair is like Silk in that song

Just bumped into this video and very say that this native passed away. Loved their hit song and heard it a dozen times. "Come and get your love" forever man. a classic that will last forever. RIP

Great band and a very beautiful family.

This man was a pioneer in writing catchy tunes, deeper contemplative songs with important societal messages, and complex improvisational pieces. I first heard Redbone from my brother's album collection in 1970 when I was eleven years old. I am so blessed to have experienced this man's work, and I am forever touched by his creativity. God Bless Lolly Vegas and Redbone.

Love that song, "Come and get your love." RIP.

Redbone was so much more. Before redbone you were hollywood The number one on sunset strip. So much more than the world knows. I love and appreciate your contribution to the music I love so much . No more like you

My respect for Lolly Vegas and Redbone has never diminished. Living in LA during the '60, I heard Pat & Lolly many times, before Redbone was born. I could not agree more with Joe A., that the interviewer was ill-prepared, unprofessional, having little talent for the process, lacking sufficient background to properly do honor to the subject.

He was so fine, I didn't know he died. Looks like he had a stroke. RIP luv you. ❤💚💛💜💟

I sing Come And Get Your Love to myself all the time at work and around the house and have loved it every since the first time I heard it. Those were some great guys and created some great timeless music. They are missed.

You Came And Got My Love. Thank You So Much

Born & raised SF... 1950's. SANTANA & many music artists like Redbone gave foundation. Music is DOPAMINE & and I'm no spring 🐣🐥🐤. Ty kindly

OMG HE LOOKS LIKE MY DAD ... MAY THEY BOTH REST IN PARADISE I LOVE YOU DAD.

May you rest in peace, you and your group was the best, may you sing with our ancestors !! Megwich

Lolly . I hope you are now roaming the Great Plains and Deserts of the Spirit world with your ancestors . The songs you wrote will live on in this world until th End of Days. when all will become clear .

'SLIT A NUN'S THROAT 4 A BURRITO' I LOVE IT & KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT FEELS!!!

I wish I would of known you, so talented RIP

Such a beautiful family. Family first for this group...you can see it and how connected they all are. Lovely.

Amazing talent...rest in peace,Lolly.

Lolly was a great talent and contributed to the heart of music....in a big way....future generations will never understand the beauty he gave to music. Thanks for all you gave.

I appreciate that Christina spent time with this class act. Anytime filmed means we can still have a part of him.

This artist will be always in my heart... he set the pace for acceptance of diversity back in the old days... I love him!

I love Christina's interview with Lolly; she is guileless and it makes it so much the better; it's nice to see Lolly so at ease and so kind, and it gives him a chance to talk about his career and the memories of the strip, etc. and plus we get to see him tease her over asking if the portrait of the chief is a relative of his oxoxoxo we get to see Acela come in w/ Pat's kids when they were younger; it's adorable to me. Love Lolly's smile!

I didn't even know this interview existed. I'm young, only 38. Definitely appreciate the graces of Redbone music. Plus my mom got me into back when I was a real youngster. So many thanks here. ✌️👍

awesome interview. huge fan of redbone. big fan of Custer Had It Coming.

we loved your music thank you rest in peace brother

Thank you Mr. Lolly & Patrick Vegas for this awesome music. I'm going on a treasure hunt to find all your albums to add to my collection.

I just love all their songs, especially Come and Get Your Love. Loll y was so handsome and a great guitarist. RIP Lolly

how sad, she had no idea what she had in her hands! the patronizing "okays" are a testament. from 1974 on, i wanted to marry him. all the other girls liked pat's pants, but i knew lolly had all the best parts.

Redbone-come and get your love is my favorite song of all time. And I’ve listened to a lot of music. I’ve decided out of all the stuff I’ve listened to, this is my favorite song ever.

Lolly and Redbone - the best. Nothing comes close to the niche you guys carved in rock music. Wish musicians today had the same talent. Rock on.

I've always enjoyed your music and I'm also a Native American I am an Aztec I don't like to be called Indian I'm not from India and I also love burritos

Redbone was essential to a most wonderful time in American music- we had top 40 hits in any language or cultural influence- we even had gospel hits with the Staple Singers and the Edwin Hawkins Singers. Eres Tu was a hit in America sang entirely in Spanish. When I heard Redbone's "Chant the 13th Hour" I was enthralled- their debut album was among the greatest ever written and recorded.

In Ireland we were introduced to Redbone when Witch Queen of New Orleans was released. That was in late 71. Loved that song.

may you RIP redbone forever

Loved Redbone...Lolly was Brilliant singer, songwriter, guitarist... I am happy to have found this. Sorry to learn he had passed. RIP You brought me such happiness! Gorgeous man too!

Lolly Vegas rip 🎸😔🇺🇸

Wow they wrote for some top names, I'm glad to find this interview the history is priceless!

National treasure.

I remember them. Was standing outside listening to them, didn't have tickets but still listened to them.

Redbone are part of the fabric that is me, that is my life. Thank you so much for that. RIP somewhere over the rainbow.

man... when I saw you scat singing live come and get your love... awesome

I loved the end of the interview when family members came in. Very real and sweet! 💕

Love 💕 there music. Thank you Lolly & Patrick

Great band....I discovered Redbone in the early 70s. Loved them ever since.

I would have liked to have met you. Your music hits all the right spots. I'm only 1/8 native but my great grandmother told me that Geronimo was my great great grandfather and i have always embraced that part of myself.

Lolly was such a great talent and an inspiration to me. A void that will never be filled.

ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!! LOVE YOU !!! come to miami

This song will live forever

Make no mistake, Lolly Rocked! R.I.P.😓

Great song!... and great job because of a great band with a fantastic leader.

I was 8 when their 1974 hit was released. I remember it being played incessantly for months, if not more, in the L.A. area. Great memories.

I was so Lucky to see Redbone in concert in Rotterdam in 1971 , the best concert in the 1000 concerts i saw!!!

Great laid back , informal interview. Grew up with Redbone music here in the UK, fantastic times...

Thank you for having the insight to interview and document this Native American group. I am sure that they met with much predjudice. They were told to change their names because of this. But there tenacity and talent shown on like diamonds!!🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇

Legend. ❤️ . I listen to Redbone when I was a teenager. Massive influence on my playing. So funky . I’m Sure the Chili peppers and many others were influenced as well.

Thank you for great music.

Love that song he did. Come get your love. Rip

So sorry he passed sad day i thank him for all the music help me grow as child in San Diego God bless you and the nation

I don't care what anybody says but this was and still is the jam that will get anybody start to dance and it is a must to hear at any kick back best song of all time it's one of the top five of all time even with the 80,90's music and of today and to top it off native bros ,and a fellow artist in more ways than one

Loved this group. Especially Lolly. I have a crush on him to this day. I'm 70 now. The music was hot & real.
