@@DonJuan-09 I’m white on white with Navajo in-laws and now Navajo nieces and nephews. Such respect I have for them! Has anyone noticed that these little short video clips are saturated with Redbone? Everyone knows a good sound and sight when they see it.
@@DonJuan-09 I’m half Ojibwe born to an Irish-French mother. mother didn’t accept me whole heartedly because I came out Brown with straight black hair. But the good news is that mother’s mom, my grandmother, didn’t accept me for the same exact reason. mother ( lower case “m” is on purpose ) was very abusive to me, physical and mental. I was sixteen and was in a fistfight in a neighboring small city and I was beaten pretty bad by a dude I considered a friend, along with his father. My “friend and I were watching MTV at his house when his dad came home and he was fuming that I was in his house. As he was destroying my character and completely tearing me down, I simply told him that I had no control of how I looked. My friend came running over and blasted me in my chest. I went into survival mode and was holding my own and that’s when the dad got behind me and wrapped his arms around my neck and let my “friend” continue his assault on my face. After I drove the forty miles to my rural house, mother greeted me in the kitchen and demanded to know what happened, so I filled her in. She said that I should know better because nobody wants some Indian kid in their house and that the only reason I’m allowed in her house is because I’m a minor and her son. I asked her, “If you hate the fact I’m Native American and brown so much, why did you ever sleep with my father?” mother slapped me across my face and sent me to my room and grounded me for three weeks. Remember, I was sixteen. As bad as mother was, my step-dad was the polar opposite. My step-dad was the greatest man I’ve ever known. When my step-dad was home, mother behaved. Two weeks after my severe beating, mother made a comment, in front of Smitty ( my step-dad ) about me getting repulsively too dark in the summer. I told mother, “ I can’t really help what the Sun does to me and it’s mostly from my job working for ( a local farmer ).” Mom considered this sass and swung her hand to hit me in my face, but for the only time, I caught mother’s hand. mother stormed off. Smitty then asked me how long had mother acted like that. I told Smitty that it was my whole life and when he’s not around. Smitty went to chat with mother. And when Smitty asked mother, “Why?” mother simply said because she never wanted a “Prairie Nigger” for a son. Mother made me ashamed to be of Native American decent. It wasn’t until I had my first child in 1988 that I started to embrace my Native American Heritage. I’m fifty-seven years old and love the fact I’m Native. And Redbone has played a major part in my acceptance of my racial identity. And for that I am more than grateful. I never met my real father. He died when I was three, not knowing he had a son. mother didn’t even share his name with me. I found his family because of Ancestry.com. I’ve met about one hundred of the members of his, and my, family since. mother passed away at forty-nine years old in 1991. I do miss her daily. I love her completely. Smitty, he always loved me and I’ve always known that for a fact. I apologize for being so wordy. I just felt like this was a reasonable spot to share part of my life’s story.
Johnny here! I’m forever grateful to everyone that made our song such a standard. Lolly and Pat are gone now, “To the happy hunting ground “ I’m 78 and can’t drum anymore because of a stroke.

My BFF was dating the Road/Tour Manager of Redbone, so we saw them often is 1971-72. Those concerts were a lot of fun, one of our best friends (still) is 100% Navaho, she and her 10 siblings were good friends with me and my siblings. Fun memory of playing ping pong with this guy, Glenn, at a Redbone concert, he told us he was on the Olympic team going to China, he was the real table tennis player that Forest Gump was photoshopped into. I was watching the Olympics with my dad, also named Glenn, and I saw the cute long brown haired Glenn, who wore Aviator glasses like my young dad, and I told dad I knew him and had played Ping Pong with him, and that his name was Glenn, dad knew we knew lots of people, but he was surprised by that. Thanks, Redbone for all the great memories!!!
When I was a Kid, I thought that They were Black, before I ever seen Them. But They're MY People, Mexican American Indians, just like ME. Much Love to Anyone and Everyone, Anywhere, Who Loves this Song. Native America Rocks!Hokahey!💛❤️🤍🖤
@@bikebudha01 Racist? Saying that I thought They were Black is actually a Compliment, meaning that sounded GREAT. What a Ridiculous thing to say. You make Me laugh.😆
@@minavelez2009 Thank You Very Much for saying that. The Contributions to American Popular Music by African Americans is Beyond Words. There would be No Rock-n-Roll without the Blues. I think that "Come and Get Your Love" by REDBONE is the Best Combination of Rock, Soul, Funk and Disco that I've ever heard, and from a Native American Band, to top it all off. God Bless You Sister. Keep the Faith.💛❤️🤍🖤
I’m listening in 2024!! Remember this 🎶 growing up- real music real people. Appreciate the native dance - respect ✊🏼 Hopefully soon someone will hear this even for remix for today. $5 says it would go over big again.
Really? Are you listening in 2024? I NEVER would have known that even though there is an approximate timestamp on every comment. Am so glad there are cretins who seem unaware that people who are alive actually know what f**&king year it is!
@@sistersarahc ? I think you've mis-aimed your comment, Sister... I'm not the one writing some words in all caps, and I just pointed out the silliness of the original post, which is fair comment. Word.
I'm native American and proud to see Redbone recognized. Great band, love this song because I might need a man tonight. Lol. Who wants an old Indian woman smoking a pipe😂.
my great-grandmother lived on a reservation her entire life. Died at age of 90 years old. Very fond memories, living history book.I waa 10 years old when she past. Her hair was still so beautiful, white in her older age , yet braided time. It was long , just so kind and full of stories.
I watched this, while living 20 miles off the pine ridge rez. Redbone was one of THE BEST. People who listen to this song now, miss out on THE BEST INTRO EVER EVER EVER!❤❤❤(Kudos to guardians of the galaxy for putting this son up front on their soundtrack.) But, everyone misses the best when they can't see or hear this intro. Love for Redbone and indigenous peoples🪶❤️
@@LvnTheDrm23 no I'm not. My god children are💗 was raised in chadron and as adult was either working or playing on the rez. Near and dear to my heart. Pow wow gifts and people that no matter how far I went...that was home. They were home to me. When I lived in Florida, if I got homesick, I would watch the movie thunder heart. Not just cuz I was there in '71 but because a lot of ppl I knew or recognized were in the movie. I still have things that my native ppl have given me through the years and I treasure them. Buddy red bow (RIP )and the group redbone was among my favorite music and still is.
@@LvnTheDrm23 there are relatives of the white Krolikowski's in martin tho that are native. Their mom was named Dondi. She's native and her girls are related to me too. It's funny, one of my god children came to deadwood, where I am now and a friend was with her. The friend said, I don't get how she(meaning me) knows all this stuff or inside jokes n all. My god child said ya, she's kinda rez-y. Lol. I guess I'm the white girl that never truly left the rez. 🤷♀️😁 Btw ALL of these ppl are Oglala Sioux. Named Yankton or Wild.
I am also native, my father, my cousins, my uncles, and my aunties are Indians, natives on my father's side, on my father's side my family are natives, indigenous.
Very sorry kids. If you were not part of the '70s you miss the absolutely best times ever with the absolute hottest chicks and best music in the history of Earth. It was just over the top fun. Jillian's of songs still today 50 years later people are rocking out to. Pretty freaking awesome.
And festival seating!....No seats most outdoor shows. And no damn mosh pit. Smoke and drink indoors and out, and beers were dirt cheap $3.00 a case of Hamms (very cheap beer).
Beautiful music from beautiful people These men were talented and gorgeous Proud to have some native genes Proud of the true Americans ❤ loved them when I was a child and still as an older woman Good music never ages Forever young
i´m floored, they made america great again, Thank You Gentlemen! greetings from vienna austria (no wonder Jimi Hendrix wanted to be in that band, man!!!)
awww Lolly and Pat .... Redbone, such a great and underrated band ... I was a very young girl when this song came out but remember dancing to it at the youth center in Vogelweh Germany ...KTown Raiders forever ...RIP Tony and Lolly ...
The period 1970 to 1975, for me, was the greatest music of my life. So many great songs, including the time known as the "one hit wonder" period. Good stuff.
My future daughter-in-law also has Native American heritage like I do and I sent her this video. She had heard the song but never seen the video. She loves it as I do.
I love it! Redbone... my heritage. My great, great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Great Music from all walks of life! Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
My great-great-grandmother was also native, she was an Indian, I believe she was of Cherokkee blood too, her name was Clementine she ran away from the village, from the bush running with my grandfather who became her husband, and they ran away from the bush , from the indigenous reserve in thoses ancient times, and married my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather was almost killed, burned alive while tied to a dry tree trunk, my great-great-grandmother, that Indian woman, felt sorry, she had compassion, she felt sorry for him then he untied my grandfather from the trunk, while the other's Indians were looking for firewood, sticks to make a fire to burn my great-great-grandfather alive at the stake, then he took her to the big city, to the urban area, they got married, and untill my great-great-grandmother captured the our language, our local language in my country, was a lot of work, and for him to live the habits, the tradition, the habits, and customs of high society, of the urban area, it took work, it gave her something to do to get used to it. All things!!.
Yes we know how everyone in America has a great great grandmother of Cherokee decent, a warrior princess that was captured, but fought her way to her lover who was Apache and they took a canoe across the Mojave desert and then they climbed the Colorado Mountains during a Blizzard, where she kept them alive by using her own flesh she cut from her thigh to use as bait to feed him and their first child. Then she was captured by the Iroquois who killed her husband and son. But she was brave and courageous and won over the chief's highest council, who helped the 5 Nation's to fight and win against the Algonquin and to help over throw the British and formed what we now know as the state of New York. Yes we all know about your Great Great Native Grandmothers.
From Wikipedia: Redbone is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All members during their commercial peak and success were of Mexican American and Native American heritage, which heavily reflected in their songs, stage costumes, and album art. They reached the Top 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with their hit 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 US Billboard Hot 100, with the song reaching number 5.[1] Redbone achieved success with their singles "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", "Wovoka", and "Maggie" in the United States, although these songs were more successful overseas. Pat has been the sole member of the band since Lolly's death in 2010.
@ Iamtheocean Thank you for posting this. Truly a piece of musical history. I was just a young girl when they appeared on Midnight Special. As was then as in now i couldn't sit still to this song. Just a great cheerful tune to rock out to. Be Blessed Aho!
This song was almost in constant play on the radio back in the day. The Drummer is sporting an LA Era C-650 Camco kit, & by far the Stradivarius of drums, still to this day…
@ What makes them Soo Brilliant is a combination of a few designs all coming together at once. And they can never be remade or recreated…The Shells are 6 plys of Old Growth North American Hardrock Maple that are approximately 1/4” smaller in diameter than standard shells so they tune like timpani. The Bearing Edges were very precise and the profile maximizes head to shell contact. The Shells were all thin with sound focusing reenforcement rings. Early Camcos Sported Triple Chrome Plated Brass Hoops which made the drums sound better than shells with steel hoops, brass just sounds better than steel. Unfortunately Jasper doesn’t make drum shells any longer and Tama owns the legal rights to the design of the shells and the bearing edge design. So they can’t ever be remade… To find a kit isn’t that easy but on a good note they are built to last hundreds of years and the cost is still reasonable…
1: It is funny you called them Red. 2: They are not Indians...those people come from India. 3: They are not of America....they were long before it. Go stub a toe.
I was like 10 and my cool big sister let me stay up and watch midnight special, I remember this. I loved growing up in the 70s best music and best of times. It was simple and free
Yep, we had Rock Concert, Don Kirchners Rock Concert and Midnight Special. I don't think Austin City Limits was created yet. But MS and DKRC would come on at the same time diferent channels. You try to catch the opening lineups and flick back and forth to catch your fav acts! Lol
I went to school with their brother Ray and sister Terry Vasquez. They maybe native Americans. I m of the Humano Indians who were mainly killed and absorbed into Apache in Chi. Mexico all the way to San Angelo Texas. Like the music.Good people.Heard helped a lot of new people in town.

So great to have this performance strait from the source. Love that so many act performed on the Midnight Special instead of lip syncing! This is a real time capsule!
Back I'm the 70s my dad saw this incredible band live and passed a joint to lead singer Lolly Vegas ...he hit it and proceeded to play this song...my dad (65) is a legend
I was in high school when this song hit the pop charts and it brings back tons of memories of those days. I remember watching this episode of MS when it originally aired too. Thanks for the memories!
They were recognized a lot. There was tons of music out there. Unless you were hooked on one band you had a lot to digest in those day.check out lolly and pat in their younger years, they were very popular😃
I was watching season 1, episode 5 of "Reservation Dogs" where the Lighthorseman was telling the kid about Redbone being a band made up of Native Americans. They even named the episode "Come and Get Your Love." Pretty cool. And they perform this live very well. Also cool how Midnight Special actually has bands play live.
My native brothers were the only Native American band and this song was outstanding loved it in my youth and still listening today 2024 because Guardians of the galaxy put them back on the map

I was watching the Olympics with my dad, also named Glenn, and I saw the cute long brown haired Glenn, who wore Aviator glasses like my young dad, and I told dad I knew him and had played Ping Pong with him, and that his name was Glenn, dad knew we knew lots of people, but he was surprised by that. Thanks, Redbone for all the great memories!!!
What a wonderful story. I loved this band so much!
It's what real music was. The more instruments the better. 60s & 70s the best. Bring back!
And the music was happy and loving. So much fun
OMG PERFECT!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes oh please oh please bring it back!
💯 agree
It never left. Turn off the Radio and start exploring.
Sure beats rapp.
UA-cam is the time machine of our lives.
Yes it is.
Is TRUE, REALLY!!.
I’m 67, and listened to this on my Sunday evening Corvette therapy ride. It’s on my playlists. 12/8/2024
Did you go to Norte Dame
Growing up in the 70's. This song was the Bomb. Loved it then and Now. Come and Get your Love !
Choctaw In The House!
Native Power Rocks!
Look pretty damn white to me.
When I was a Kid, I thought that They were Black, before I ever seen Them. But They're MY People, Mexican American Indians, just like ME. Much Love to Anyone and Everyone, Anywhere, Who Loves this Song. Native America Rocks!Hokahey!💛❤️🤍🖤
what a racist thing to say...
@@bikebudha01 Racist? Saying that I thought They were Black is actually a Compliment, meaning that sounded GREAT. What a Ridiculous thing to say. You make Me laugh.😆
@@DaveWarpony I am black and not at all offended at what you said. I love your people.
@@minavelez2009 Thank You Very Much for saying that. The Contributions to American Popular Music by African Americans is Beyond Words. There would be No Rock-n-Roll without the Blues. I think that "Come and Get Your Love" by REDBONE is the Best Combination of Rock, Soul, Funk and Disco that I've ever heard, and from a Native American Band, to top it all off. God Bless You Sister. Keep the Faith.💛❤️🤍🖤
Seriously...just a perfect song!
I’m listening in 2024!! Remember this 🎶 growing up- real music real people. Appreciate the native dance - respect ✊🏼 Hopefully soon someone will hear this even for remix for today. $5 says it would go over big again.
Yes, still listening in 2024. One of my favorite songs and much respect to Native People! ❤✊🏾
Great idea!!
Really? Are you listening in 2024? I NEVER would have known that even though there is an approximate timestamp on every comment. Am so glad there are cretins who seem unaware that people who are alive actually know what f**&king year it is!
The 70's were the pinnacle of fresh vocals and solid beats! We may never pass this way again.
😂😂😂...yeah okay buddy....lol
@@tauras665He's right. Music is complete dog sht. these days
Thank you Guardians of the Galaxy, for bringing this great song back into the public ear.
Furst time I heard that beginning, I'm 62, love this song.
"'F' is for Family."
Thanking you all from the bottom of my 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
I'm 71 and love it dearly ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not even their best song...
God bless the native American people! Love this song !

The thing is WE don't hear MUSIC like this Anymore!!!
Why are you shouting some words?
And we don't hear music like anything any more, because music is different each time a composer writes

@@squirrelbutler2119 because of DAs like you!
@@squirrelbutler2119easy does it.
@@sistersarahc ?
I think you've mis-aimed your comment, Sister...
I'm not the one writing some words in all caps, and I just pointed out the silliness of the original post, which is fair comment.
Word.
We also don't hear Duke Ellington or Mozart anymore. That's what makes them special.
Lolly was so handsome!!
I'm native American and proud to see Redbone recognized. Great band, love this song because I might need a man tonight. Lol. Who wants an old Indian woman smoking a pipe😂.
Depends... lol.... peace pipe or Crack pipe ? JK 😅😅
@@Jimmy-ws4hu🤣🤣🤣
stop playin lol
As a white guy growing up in the Pacific Northwest i so love them. I love the original Americans.
my great-grandmother lived on a reservation her entire life. Died at age of 90 years old. Very fond memories, living history book.I waa 10 years old when she past. Her hair was still so beautiful, white in her older age , yet braided time. It was long , just so kind and full of stories.
What a historic piece of musical history !
True
I'm in love!
No to take anything away from the cultural significance of this song, but aren’t all pieces of musical history historic?
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Rock on, Redbone! Thank you 😊
Growing up in the 70s wasn't perfect, but looking back seems pretty close. You could never see something like this today. So awesomely unique!
I watched this, while living 20 miles off the pine ridge rez. Redbone was one of THE BEST. People who listen to this song now, miss out on THE BEST INTRO EVER EVER EVER!❤❤❤(Kudos to guardians of the galaxy for putting this son up front on their soundtrack.) But, everyone misses the best when they can't see or hear this intro. Love for Redbone and indigenous peoples🪶❤️

@@LvnTheDrm23 no I'm not. My god children are💗 was raised in chadron and as adult was either working or playing on the rez. Near and dear to my heart. Pow wow gifts and people that no matter how far I went...that was home. They were home to me. When I lived in Florida, if I got homesick, I would watch the movie thunder heart. Not just cuz I was there in '71 but because a lot of ppl I knew or recognized were in the movie. I still have things that my native ppl have given me through the years and I treasure them. Buddy red bow (RIP )and the group redbone was among my favorite music and still is.
@@LvnTheDrm23 there are relatives of the white Krolikowski's in martin tho that are native. Their mom was named Dondi. She's native and her girls are related to me too. It's funny, one of my god children came to deadwood, where I am now and a friend was with her. The friend said, I don't get how she(meaning me) knows all this stuff or inside jokes n all. My god child said ya, she's kinda rez-y. Lol. I guess I'm the white girl that never truly left the rez. 🤷♀️😁 Btw ALL of these ppl are Oglala Sioux. Named Yankton or Wild.
Im Native American and I love seeing my people get recognized
😌❤️
I am also native, my father, my cousins, my uncles, and my aunties are Indians, natives on my father's side, on my father's side my family are natives, indigenous.
They did a great job, that's for sure. This song is a classic.
Love Native American people ❤
Another Native here all on my late Father's side also. 🙂
👩🏻🐺 I will never get tired of this song! "Come and get your love"
💃🏻🎶
I’m still listening to this great song and dancing 💃 to it in 2024!! 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕✨💋
Very sorry kids. If you were not part of the '70s you miss the absolutely best times ever with the absolute hottest chicks and best music in the history of Earth. It was just over the top fun. Jillian's of songs still today 50 years later people are rocking out to. Pretty freaking awesome.
And festival seating!....No seats most outdoor shows. And no damn mosh pit. Smoke and drink indoors and out, and beers were dirt cheap $3.00 a case of Hamms (very cheap beer).
What a gift they have left to the world with this song.
You can say that again! Tastes of the best!
He does the dance and then goes straight into picking up a guitar. I love that.
Beautiful music from beautiful people
These men were talented and gorgeous
Proud to have some native genes
Proud of the true Americans
❤ loved them when I was a child and still as an older woman
Good music never ages
Forever young
🎯❤️🎯❤️
Definitely! Talented and damned gorgeous!!
They were brilliant, talented hotties that showcased their rich culture. I want more of that, please!
I have listened to Redbone back in 80s and here I am back in May 2024. How can I ever forget my old days.
Hell yeah!
Who is STILL listening in 2024🎶🎶💕💕💕 love the native dance at the beginning!! Love! Love! Love!!!💕🎶💕

Damn straight

Amazing how these songs are timeless, still played on commercials on TV
Yep. Aspen Dental TV commercial!!😀
awww Lolly and Pat .... Redbone, such a great and underrated band ... I was a very young girl when this song came out but remember dancing to it at the youth center in Vogelweh Germany ...KTown Raiders forever ...RIP Tony and Lolly ...
The period 1970 to 1975, for me, was the greatest music of my life. So many great songs, including the time known as the "one hit wonder" period. Good stuff.
Me too!
I was 10 yo in 1971. So I was really growing into what I feel was the best music ever!
Never knew Redbone was a Native American Band. Always loved this song.
My future daughter-in-law also has Native American heritage like I do and I sent her this video. She had heard the song but never seen the video. She loves it as I do.
My favorite band! Love the dance at the beginning. I think they were the first popular indigenous music group. Thank you for posting this! 🧡
I'm 60 &i love REDBONE
were d same age sir.
I love it! Redbone... my heritage. My great, great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Great Music from all walks of life!
Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Same here! My great great grandma was full blooded too. ❤
@nvdaagehya Beautiful... Thank you for sharing! 🤝 Have a wonderful day! 💖
@@that70sgirl90 thank you and same to you! 😁☀️
My great-great-grandmother was also native, she was an Indian, I believe she was of Cherokkee blood too, her name was Clementine she ran away from the village, from the bush running with my grandfather who became her husband, and they ran away from the bush , from the indigenous reserve in thoses ancient times, and married my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather was almost killed, burned alive while tied to a dry tree trunk, my great-great-grandmother, that Indian woman, felt sorry, she had compassion, she felt sorry for him then he untied my grandfather from the trunk, while the other's Indians were looking for firewood, sticks to make a fire to burn my great-great-grandfather alive at the stake, then he took her to the big city, to the urban area, they got married, and untill my great-great-grandmother captured the our language, our local language in my country, was a lot of work, and for him to live the habits, the tradition, the habits, and customs of high society, of the urban area, it took work, it gave her something to do to get used to it. All things!!.
Yes we know how everyone in America has a great great grandmother of Cherokee decent, a warrior princess that was captured, but fought her way to her lover who was Apache and they took a canoe across the Mojave desert and then they climbed the Colorado Mountains during a Blizzard, where she kept them alive by using her own flesh she cut from her thigh to use as bait to feed him and their first child. Then she was captured by the Iroquois who killed her husband and son. But she was brave and courageous and won over the chief's highest council, who helped the 5 Nation's to fight and win against the Algonquin and to help over throw the British and formed what we now know as the state of New York.
Yes we all know about your Great Great Native Grandmothers.
I have loved this song since it first came out! And I remember this Midnight Special! Awww!
From Wikipedia: Redbone is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All members during their commercial peak and success were of Mexican American and Native American heritage, which heavily reflected in their songs, stage costumes, and album art.
They reached the Top 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with their hit 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 US Billboard Hot 100, with the song reaching number 5.[1] Redbone achieved success with their singles "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", "Wovoka", and "Maggie" in the United States, although these songs were more successful overseas.
Pat has been the sole member of the band since Lolly's death in 2010.
@ Iamtheocean Thank you for posting this. Truly a piece of musical history. I was just a young girl when they appeared on Midnight Special. As was then as in now i couldn't sit still to this song. Just a great cheerful tune to rock out to. Be Blessed Aho!
I remember these guys well. They were awesome. Who can forget that song, man? I'm 76 years old, still dig in it.
great - I am 74 old I live in France and have all LP from REDBONE ! Thanks for this sharing
This song was almost in constant play on the radio back in the day.
The Drummer is sporting an LA Era C-650 Camco kit, & by far the Stradivarius of drums, still to this day…
I was wondering if he had good kick ass drums…I know nothing about drums except that I love their sound and the drummers are so great.
@ What makes them Soo Brilliant is a combination of a few designs all coming together at once. And they can never be remade or recreated…The Shells are 6 plys of Old Growth North American Hardrock Maple that are approximately 1/4” smaller in diameter than standard shells so they tune like timpani. The Bearing Edges were very precise and the profile maximizes head to shell contact.
The Shells were all thin with sound focusing reenforcement rings. Early Camcos Sported Triple Chrome Plated Brass Hoops which made the drums sound better than shells with steel hoops, brass just sounds better than steel. Unfortunately Jasper doesn’t make drum shells any longer and Tama owns the legal rights to the design of the shells and the bearing edge design.
So they can’t ever be remade… To find a kit isn’t that easy but on a good note they are built to last hundreds of years and the cost is still reasonable…
@@Koch-Locke Ron Dunnett is doing a pretty decent job with his Camco kits..
Great band and the drummer is on point!
Long Live The Red Indians of America ✌🤟
1: It is funny you called them Red.
2: They are not Indians...those people come from India.
3: They are not of America....they were long before it.
Go stub a toe.
You hear this song and it sticks in your head for hours.
...And for many many Years ❤ ☺️👍🏼
For days and days.
All my life I was called a Savage. I Love my Native American heritage.
Racism through the generations. Shame.
I was like 10 and my cool big sister let me stay up and watch midnight special, I remember this. I loved growing up in the 70s best music and best of times. It was simple and free
Amen
Yep, we had Rock Concert, Don Kirchners Rock Concert and Midnight Special. I don't think Austin City Limits was created yet. But MS and DKRC would come on at the same time diferent channels. You try to catch the opening lineups and flick back and forth to catch your fav acts! Lol
I went to school with their brother Ray and sister Terry Vasquez. They maybe native Americans. I m of the Humano Indians who were mainly killed and absorbed into Apache in Chi. Mexico all the way to San Angelo Texas. Like the music.Good people.Heard helped a lot of new people in town.
Wow...the intro of the native dance was fantastic...👍👍🇸🇻🇸🇻
RIP Lolly! Your creational masterpiece is a fabric of 70's music!
Love this song and love Redbone RIP Pat and Lolly .❤❤❤
Pat Vegas is still alive. Pete Depoe is still alive. Maybe you mean Butch Rillera who passed over in February 2024.
Thank you he will. Never be forgotten in his song
Come & get your Love 🕊 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
It would be really cool to see something like this on the mainstream in 2024. All ya
need is that one good song like this one to ignite the fire.
This is incredible. I still here this song on the radio. I did not realize that this was a group from Native Americans. This is great. They were the first musicians on the continent.
My Great Great Grandmother was from the Ho-Chunk people of Nebraska often referred to as the Winnebago people.
Great music, great band, great show. Always watched Midnight Special - wish it was still around.
I was so in love with guys. I was so proud they were Native & my people were being represented.
The drummer is awesome! I like the way he plays.
I'm truly blessed to have gotten a pair of drumsticks signed by Butch. I had him sign them to my son.
Loved it when it first came out and still love it at 70 years young.
Wow I had no idea this band were Native Americans…. I feel really ignorant seeing how I remember this song so well!! Pretty amazing to know this!! 🙏🏻❤️
I'm glad I didn't see this video when I was a teen, I would have fallen deeply in love with the dancer.
Such handsome Native American men.
Back when American Indian heritage was getting long overdue respect. Miss these times. This is what natural cool looks like.

Lolly the heart and soul of REDBONE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Taking me back, another great tune! Yes, Native Americans, does anyone remember a saying from another great song, The only safe place to live is on an Indian Reservation....now in these times, it's not so far fetched! History repeats itself!...
Wishing to share. I'm ex-Marine Disabled veteran. Raised and born Paris Island South Carolina***** Beaufort SC. Dad Korean veteran . He would ensure the story of the {∆¥€¢£(((({{Windtalkers,..!)))))) As a Marine Thank you for saving my Father's Life and giving me the chance to be taught by such a warrior?!! I salute all Native Americans
So great to have this performance strait from the source. Love that so many act performed on the Midnight Special instead of lip syncing! This is a real time capsule!
Midnight Special was such an amazing production. Watched so many great artists on it!!! ..from my University years!
Had no idea of their history especially Pat and Lolly the early years…. wow!!
Studio work, European followers.. the real deal. RIP Lolly.
One of the great catchy tunes of the mid seventies for sure. And culturally just something that touches all of our hearts that band was really cool.
Back I'm the 70s my dad saw this incredible band live and passed a joint to lead singer Lolly Vegas ...he hit it and proceeded to play this song...my dad (65) is a legend
Wish Pop music today was this good !
I was in high school when this song hit the pop charts and it brings back tons of memories of those days. I remember watching this episode of MS when it originally aired too. Thanks for the memories!
Wow sounds amazing! Those NativeAmerican men are soooo handsome!
I was spending the night at friend’s house in JR High. We stayed up and watched this. Wow, I would have never dreamed of seeing this again
What an amazingly talented group of individuals and group
IMO, they didn't get recognized nearly so much as they richly deserved!
They were recognized a lot. There was tons of music out there. Unless you were hooked on one band you had a lot to digest in those day.check out lolly and pat in their younger years, they were very popular😃
I love Lolly doing his thing at the end, bravissimo! Get it from the main vine, la la la la la la la❤❤❤❤😊
Who doesn't love this song?? Gorgeous Lolly and Pat Vegas!
Love this song and the remake/cover by Real McCoy.
Love this song! Brings back many memeries. Did not know Redbone were native brothers, wow.
I was watching season 1, episode 5 of "Reservation Dogs" where the Lighthorseman was telling the kid about Redbone being a band made up of Native Americans. They even named the episode "Come and Get Your Love." Pretty cool. And they perform this live very well. Also cool how Midnight Special actually has bands play live.
My native brothers were the only Native American band and this song was outstanding loved it in my youth and still listening today 2024 because Guardians of the galaxy put them back on the map
Love Redbone❤ they are so underrated . Great song
3 guitars & a drummer is an insane band 👀😂
I came across this beautiful song on Guardians of the Galaxy!
From Japan with love
