I’m Native American and was a teenager in the 70’s. I didn’t even know they were an all Native American band until I seen this on UA-cam, lol, always loved this song
I was a teenager in the 70s I remember seeing them on the midnight special thought it was cool but honestly we didn't care what the artists looked like as long as they played good music
I'm an Indian who was a teenager in the 70's too, and all the 'skins knew this was an Indian band and it was played a lot on the rez.
@@JustMe-gn6yf you can't be what you can't see.
I was a teenager in the 70`s living in the Netherlands and in our charts this was number one for 5 weeks ua-cam.com/video/AvZbmLJlSoM/v-deo.html
Got to get these two to listen to Buffy StMarie and The amazing Pura Fe ... both stellar first Nation artists.
🇬🇧🧙♂️.
Redbone are such an underrated band. These dudes were funky as hell.
Rocks
Yup, Native Americans were the first to Crip Walk. Actually, it's called the Fancy Dance. The song was released in 1974 but it was featured in Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 which revitalized its popularity a second time. Redbone is a Cajun term for a person of mixed-race "half-breed". The members applied the word to name their band which signified their mixed ancestry of Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage
This song was used in the openings scene of Guardians of Galaxy . Next from them: "Wounded Knee" . You'll love it too.
Also F is For Family.
This song was also featured in an episode of Hulu's 'Reservation Dogs'.
Buffy StMarie sang the theme song for Soldier Blue.. as well as the classic Universal Soldier.
It was in The Postman too.
A lot are saying this is from the Guardians of the Galaxy ... and yes it is. But it was wayyy popular in the day. I love how they did some traditional dancing in this vid. The Midnight Special was one hella cool show.
Yes, this song was on the radio a lot back in the day. At least in Southern California.
Sure it was. But how you going to remind them that they remember it from the 70's? They aren't time travelers so that's why we envoke Guardians. That's the cultural reference that Lex may know.
@@mgordon1100 True. I have nothing to counter that. :)
@@dennytaylor1005 That's a damned shame. I was kind of hoping you would, because I'm bored. 😉 Happy 4th! 🎆✨
@@mgordon1100 the 70s is culture history. Reminding people that there was a world before they're born is important.
Midnight Special - Don Kirshner's Rock Concert - American Bandstand - Soul Train - we really did have it good back in the day.....
I couldn't agree more, if you recall TV guide came out every week, and you could tell who was coming on midnight special or Don kirshner's Rock concert. American bandstand, soul train on Saturday mornings. I remember waiting for Redbones to appear on Midnight Special, me and some friends like many other shows waiting for good bands, good smoke good drink, and then after Don kirshner's Rock concert, those were good days LOL 🎺🎷🥁🎻🪕🎸😎🙋
Redbone was inducted into the Native American Music Association Hall of Fame in 2008, as well as the legendary NY Smithsonian in 2013.They were also honored with vein painted on the largest mural in the U.S. in Fresno, California. On August 30, 2014, Pat Vegas was honored with the Lifetime Achievement "Legend" Award from the "West Coast American Indian Music Awards.
love this song.
Still sounds as new now as in 1974
Man The Saturday night special was it and all artists always brought their "A" game .
And Don Kirchner's rock concert
Midnight Special
@@ronzimmerman268 ABC In Concert on Friday Nights in The Early 70's, Don Kirchner Was The Executive Producer !!
@@loudog2326 yeah, and ABC in concert was brought back again in the 90s, although I don't know if Don Kirshner had anything to do with that later version.
Im 53 and I miss the MIdnight special....from then...I dont think id want to watch it now though
The smile Brad gets when he sees Lex enjoying herself is heartwarming.
Agreed. They are so genuine.
No this was their song, and I remember it as a kid and loved it but will tell you did not find out till later when saw this on Midnight Special that they were Native Americans and I thought it was the coolest thing ever to see them dance and wear thier authinic clothes. Everyone loved Midnight Special you had to watch and go to school and talk about it , you were the cool kids . We could stay up and watch it on weekends . Loved this show for you saw Wolfman Jack and original groups
It was the opening song in Guardians of the Galaxy :) as well as being in hundreds of commercials and other movies. Redbone in the south usually means a black woman with Native American blood.
The 70s were amazing and eclectic. Yall need to review their first song to get real airplay: "Witch Queen of New Orleans "
You would remember it from Guardians of the Galaxy and the fancy dancer is Tony Bellamy.
The song peaked at #5 and stayed in the top 10 for 18 weeks.
I’m half native, we have so many native bands but never get played on the radio, we even have the Native American music awards every year for the past 25 years, lots of great band that will leave you speachless, start with Robert mirabal music from a painted cave, you will be amazed
I just wanna cry. We had it all in the 70s. There was so much more LOVE and acceptance from everyone. It seemed everyone live gratefully day to day. I guess we were simpletons who made ALL THIS TO LISTEN TO.
Actually something I briefly studied in Grad school for History- "Redbone" was originally Cajun (Louisiana) slang for racially mixed person. Because of the use of "red" to describe Native Americans it was commonly used to to described racial mixed with at least half being Native American in the western US. However, as you went east it was used to described white and black mixture.
Cajun was actually Canadian,it lost its dialect because it could not be pronounced PROPERLY.
@@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER. WTF are you talking about? And what does this have to do with "Redbone" and the origins? Oh yeah, nothing.
Acadians have not lost their dialect and many Cajuns still speak French even if they don't know they are - cher!
@@melissas4874 PREACH!!! And if a Cajun were called Canadian? 😉 A ride down to the Bayou on a guided tour...them gators gotta eat too.🐊 ~Lesa (on my husband's account)
@@treydixon5966 and down here in Louisiana, the term that is mostly used is coonass. When describing folks in South Louisiana.
@@jeffjohnston2141 I've heard that one. It's kinda like Mountain Folk being called Hillbilly. The meaning depends on who's doing the calling. ~Lesa
This song is a part of my childhood!! This and George McRae's "Rock Your Baby", REALLY put a smile on my face. Happy times...
Same here!
George McRae's "Rock Your Baby" is the song that inspired Bjorn and Benny to come up with Dancing Queen for ABBA.
two songs that shaped 13 year old me
@@Zaroubi Same here!
Redbone is the most underrated band in the history of rock music!
It's been used in so many movies and TV shows. The most recent is the Netflix show 'F is for Family', as the intro song. You should also check out 'Witch Queen of New Orleans' from them. If you've never heard of Marie Laveau, she was a light skinned free black woman (white father) who dealt in spells and voodoo (and some midwifery among other things) and garnered quite a reputation in the 1800's. I think their band name choice was more about the 'Red' man, than than the Redbone term you're familiar with, though there might be a slang connection somehow.
Yes! They do a great cover of Marie Laveau! Country Singer Bobby Bare done the version i heard first but Dr. Hook done it originally...
Oh and another little bit of trivia.. look up the band Romeo Void.. they were a punkish' band from the 80's.. their lead singer was the first native American female to ever get a gold record! I recommend Girl in Trouble.. or I might like you better.. (if we slept together)
This was a VERY popular song in the '70s Love, love, love this song. It always makes me happy! Once again, thank you for happy memories!!!
i loved this song so much! my mom was a full blooded Cherokee Indian!
So many different sounding songs from the 70s. Always loved this one. :)
Beautifully subtle use of the wah-wah peddle on that rhythm guitar. Serious musicianship at work.
Once again, I got such pleasure from watching Lex's beaming face and wonderful couch dancing .. Absolutely adorable ! .. And I love how she loved this song, which I really like too .. Hope you guys do Redbone's "Witch Queen of New Orleans" at some stage .. That's their other well known hit..
There is an outstanding documentary on Prime Video / Showtime that covers the critical role of Native Americans in the shaping of american rock and blues music. It is a shame that these artists don't receive all of the acknowledgement and thanks they deserve.
Prime Video / Showtime (2017) 1h 43m
Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World
This powerful documentary about the role of Native Americans in contemporary music history-featuring some of the greatest music stars of our time-exposes a critical missing chapter, revealing how indigenous musicians helped shape the soundtracks of our lives and, through their contributions, influenced popular culture.
Cool! Thanks for the info. Definitely checking that out.
I'm so glad you found this song! One of my all time favorite summer songs.. and yes you're right they were an all native American band! Now they chorus idea for this song from the "ladies" working on Wilshire BlVD in LA.. yelling "come and get your love"..
Now Redbone.. please look this up.. is used in African American slang.. but it's roots is more in black and native Americans mixing hundreds of years ago.. matter of fact (look it up) there is an ethnic pocket of "Redbones" in Louisiana, and Mississippi.. and there is a movement to have them and other "pockets" of Americans that evolved into their own American ethnic group.. for example.. my mother's people were Mulungeons.. they are tri racial people who hid in the hills of Appalachia prior to the revolution.. they were runaway slaves, people who were of different races who lived in the colonies that intermarried and left because of persecution by mainly the Puritans.. and even Jews.. they were already living there for a few Generations before Daniel Boone came along...
This world is made up of all kinds!!
Fantastic bit of history, thank you for sharing that!
So true. I was a teen in the 70s. At live stadium venues, as well as theatres, and auditoriums, when the lights went down, it was like everyone arrived in the same car. Sharing, understanding, respect, etc.. I tend to think more about that time than present day. No us and them feeling that is splitting our country in half. I don't remember all that hate I'm seeing now. I'm from Cherokee County, North Ga.. My first school was Ball Ground Elementary, named for its township and the location where the Cherokee Indians were known to use the area as its name implies. The Etowah river runs through the county. Sadly, a Walmart was built near my childhood home and atop the site of an Indian village. When crews began uncovering artifacts, construction was "slowed" and some precious artifacts were salvaged. Cherokee and other trnative Americans became aware, and understandibly protested. How could they not.
A nearby college, Reinhardt, has an exhibit that includes some of the history. Also, the county nextdoor, Bartow, has a huge burial mound and nearby museums. As a child, a close relative I'd see often at my two Great Aunts home, carried himself much more towards his mothers heritage. Physically more recognizable as Native American. His mother was full Cherokee from the Walking Stick tribe. I cherish every minute I can recall spent with him. He is listed on our Henson family tree (Tom), which dates back to 1730, Culpepper Virginia. It's truly sad what we've done to a culture (Native Americans including Cherokee) known for creating their own alphabet, often of wealth, stikingly attractive in their dress and appearance, and in cases, living in houses with beautiful gardens, when their aggressors did not.
Each summer our county holds the Cherokee County Mother's Day Pow Wow and Indian Festival, a weekend event at the Etowah River's edge. Next May will be the 32nd annual. Indians come from around the country to camp, dance and present traditional demonstrations.
With the world itself seemingly at threat and hate manifesting itself in the form of multiple mass murdering of children, long range bombing of hospitals, etc., we should all remember change starts with us. Didn't intend to get on a soapbox like that (or write a book).
Happy Independence Day! I liked how you chose the Midnight Special version of their song. Visuals work great especially when it's the first time seeing a singer or group. Great reaction guys. Oh, Brad do you realize how beautiful Lex is? She's a keeper. Take care guys
He's too busy deciphering the lyrics lol
I am over 50 and I never knew this was a Native band. I’ve always loved this song, it was used as the theme song for a Netflix show called F Is For Family.
I loved this song and I never knew for the longest time that the band was Native American. This song was huge in Hispanic communities in Los Angeles.
Redbone decided to embrace their culture instead of hiding it when Jimi Hendrix (who was their friend and part Cherokee) told the brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas (the one in black in the middle and the one singing) to "Do the Indian thing." Lolly Vegas was also Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist. According to what I read somewhere, the term "redbone" is a Cajun word used to refer to a mixed race person. The one dancing (Tony Bellamy) was Yaqui Native American and Mexican. The brothers Pat and Lolly are/were Yaqui and Shoshone Natives and Mexican. The drummer is Filipino and Chicano.
I have a few more facts about them that I talk about in an upcoming video.
The word "redbone" is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, which the band adopted to signify their mixed ancestry
This song was a huge hit on R&B radio in 1973/74. I was 8 or 9 years old.
I grew up in the 70's and must have heard this song 1000 times. It was all over the radio. In the days where we only had 3 channels on TV, and no internet... I didn't know it was an all-Native American band until just now. Cool. Thanks.
The small amount of NA in me (more than Elizabeth Warren) gets pumped whenever I hear the transition from tribal pow wow to tribal funkiness and old time rock n roll. Happy Independence Day to all Americans.
This song - got a lot of airplay in 1974 - it's a classic.
The Midnight Special is so iconic. I remember staying up late with my older step siblings watching the show when I was in like 3rd and 4th grade. SO many amazing performances. The 70's had so many truly gifted performers, and the show was live. So looking back, in comparison to the music of today, these acts were incredible. We didn't even realize how good we had it in the 70's and 80's. I love watching the two of you react to the music of decades past. Always a great experience!
Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special was great. Burt is still alive and kicking along with his wife Mary Hart (Entertainment Tonight). See them all the time on TV at Los Angeles Dodger games sitting right behind home plate in the 1st row.
Redbone is Cajun for mixed-race...Pat (bass) and Lolly (singer/guitar) Vegas were First Nation and Mexican-American...It was in the Guardian of the Galaxy 2 I believe.
This song is used on the JC Penney commercials too. Love this song so much 💙💙💙
LOVED this band! Youthful magic memories...
When they started performing, they were advised to downplay that they were native american. The Midnight Special was known for doing things their way and actually encouraged the intro.
Yall for sure heard it on movies and stores. Lex, there are many Native American bands, also Mexican American bands (many are mixed with Spanish and Native American, mestizos).
Redbone was a '70s band from California. All Mexican Americans and Native Americans. They had this song , "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", etc. Check those out. They were kind of a funk, soul rock, swamp rock, etc band.
Brad/Lex. Redbone is a slang used for pretty much anybody mixed with Native American (reddish tone of skin) . Example: Mexican Americans, Creoles/Cajuns of Louisiana/East Texas/Missisiippi (African, Native American, French/Spanish mix), AfroLatinos (mixed race Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc), Melungeons (mixed race Appalacian Mountain people in the Carolinas), etc.
High yellow, yellowbone is normally a slang for light skinned African Americans (light tan, yellowish tone) normally mixed with Europeans.
The brilliant "Witch Queen Of New Orleans" was Redbone's only hit in the UK. This song never charted here but is still very well-known and was, of course, used in Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy". As was Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling" that you reacted to a few days ago.
Where's "here?" It definitely charted in the US.
@@jaye4485 In the UK. I said that in the original post!
The Witch Queen of New Orleans was a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That song peaked at the #21 spot during the spring of 1972. That song was Redbone's debut hit.
Star Lord .. 🤗 he knew what's good music is when he was about to take the stone of power 🤣and taking the lexards as a microphone (Guardians of the Galaxy movie)
Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas (Lolly is the lead singer) shook up the 70s and this song became the classic we all knew it would after the first listen back in 1974!
Lolly had such a great voice!
Your smile lights up the world, Lex...never lose your joy! You guys made me feel the way I did when I first heard this song as a kid...you both are the best and I love being able to share your journey again
If you want to go off in another direction I recommend Buffy Sainte-Marie, a member of the Cree Nation she emerged in the 1960's as a folk singer/songwriter who wrote of the plight of indigenous tribes as well as social issues!! The U.S. government had her blacklisted due to her songs about the Viet Nam war. She did win an Emmy for writing the theme song for the movie "Soldier Blue". At 80 she still performs and is relevant!! A good place to start is her song "Now That the Buffalo's Gone"!!
Witch Queen from New Orleans may their first single.
Very cool song, it rocks.
Oh my! Only time I was ever a member of an official fanclub. Still have some of their albums stored in the basement. Goosebumps all over! Awesome video!
Remember reading the 70’s Southern Rock Band Blackfoot consisted of 3 Native Americans in their quartet. They are best known for the fm staple “Highway Song”
Nope not a cover. They also had a great hit in Witch Queen of New Orleans!
Midnight Special deserves more reactions. The music from that time was meant to be played live.Best time for music !
I watch midnight special on UA-cam often. 💕
Back in the seventies I was 15 yrs old listening to this song. It is a great song.
They've sped up this performance--trust me, I've listened to it a hundred times. It's so much funkier when they slow that baby down.
Lex, you make my day Girl! Your enthusiasm for the music is infectious!
One of the best songs from the 70's! SO glad that you chose to react to this live performance so that their heritage is on full display!
I've got the studio version and listen to it all the time. Love it.
Lee Michaels "do you know what I mean" pleeeease 🙂
They might have been a one hit wonder but what I hit it was!
Exactly !!
The Witch Queen of New Orleans hit the music charts but not number one
When I was a little younger,
back in the 60s.
I used to go to the drag races all the time, in California.
And one night after the races were over.
These guys played a few songs. And this was one of them.
Man this really brought back some memories.
I think I was 9 or 10 at the time.
I can still picture them, on stage at the starting line.
I have listened to everything they have recorded, everything is awesome! pick any song of theirs and you will be glad. And yes "wounded knee" is so important to hear. It was even banned by the government! actual title, We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee
A great song and huge hit, in the day. Still hold’s up all these years later. Excellent reaction,guys!
This is a great song! If you're interested, there are a lot of Native American artists out there...multi-genre ones like Nahko and Medicine for the People (both Nahko's solo stuff and with MFTP), Native hip hop artists like the young man who spoke at the Paris Climate talks as a teen and helped found the Earth Guardians organization (can't recall his name and can't multi-task on mobile at the moment, my apologies). There's so much good talent out there that's simply not mainstream.
Yeah, NAHKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta listen to the studio version. Much more polished
The days of the Midnight Special and Don Kirchner Rock Concert on TV. People who did not grow up in the 70s missed out.,
Preach!
Your reaction conveys all the joy this song brings me. Y'all seriously give me hope for the planet.
Red bone stands for the "red man"
There is a French Christmas commercial using this song... my son and I used to dance in the kitchen to this when he was a little boy.
R.I.P. Lolly & Tony (T-Bone)...You Are Missed My Native Brothers. 🙏❤
The Midnight Special, In Concert, and Don Kirchner's Rock Concert were must-see TV BITD. We were used to American Bandstand-which required bands to lipsync. Hearing these bands play live-and not following the album versions note for note-was so refreshing. There is an old clip on UA-cam of the original Steely Dan lineup doing "Reeling in the Years" from TMS that is just classic.
Jimi Hendrix (part Cherokee himself) was a big supporter of these guys. He asked for one of albums he asked for an Indian design, and instead of Native American designs he got stuff inspired by classic representatives of gods of India!
Oops I'm sorry.. the name of the other song by Romeo Void is Never say Never.. what I said previously is the chorus..
WOW! My brother created a band on the REZ. They did the rock music back in the day. Now it is different which is ok.
Thank God for the 70's music!!
Monstrous hit back in the day. Classic.
Great song. About 20 years ago i was contacted by someone who said they were a member of Redbone. They were doing a tour and he wanted me to play lead guitar on that tour. I had never heard them so i looked them up and i knew this song. Come to find out this guy was not a part of Redbone. He was an imposter. He was Native American but not a part of this band. I called him out on it and he left very quickly. He was trying to make money off this band's name. Never heard from him again lol. That's my Redbone story. Always love your reactions.
One of my favorite songs. If I’m down this song lifts me right up.
That style of mustache is called a Fu-Man-Chu
Thanks, Kids! Redbone was a Native-american band.. this was a big hit for them, but at the time, not many knew about their heritage -- this live version is awesome.. appreciate it! (what you heard, Lex, was probably the studio hit - little different from live)
Haven't heard this in a long time. Great pick!
This is funky & soulful to "the bone!!!"
I could watch Lex enjoying this song all day long! Brad has a scwol on his face untill almost the end where Lex starts dancing and he can't help but start smiling. Love the song and watching her enjoy it I just put a folder over the left side of the screen and it's all good fun :) She is so cute!
Iconic.
This song is ICONIC!
This song was a huge hit despite being banned in several markets for the line "get it from the main vine". They eventually relented and played the song due to its popularity and Lolly Vegas explanation of the meaning. It was about connecting with Mother Earth and not main lining or so he said. Great song and great group of guys.
Love these guys! I had this album on 8 track tape when it came out , played it constantly.
More indigenous musicians out there than most of us are aware actually
Guys take a listen to Redbone - "Maggie" (1970) Great groovy song, specially with the funky guitars at the end! My older brothers played it all the time back in the day...
The way you look at Lex is so adorable!!! And great song! We jammed this at all our family gatherings.
Jimi Hendrix encouraged the brothers, Pat & Lolly Vegas, to form an all Native American rock group.
Was around in the 70’s when this came out. Loved it then and still love it. Played this video for a twenty something year old Native American friend and she was in shock.
Redbone is the original artist for that song
I have always loved this song. Hearing makes me smile.
I was very young when The Midnight Special show was on! Big name bands like Aerosmith, Prince, AC/DC would appear LIVE on the show. I just HAD to stay up late to hear those bands on Friday night, much to my mom and dad's disapproval!
The band was composed of men of mixed race, hence the band name Redbone. They were Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican.
The Midnight Special would also have comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin and other on. They usually had a special guest star as host but later they had a regular host who was a local DJ named Wolfman Jack. He was awesome!
If you look up this band , Redbone, they were influenced and worked with black musicians and bands in the beginning of their music career. They were excellent musicians and singers.
Redbone is a term for a “half breed” Native American, usually referred to the mix of Mexican and Native Americans. Originally a derogatory term the full blood N.Americans used toward mixed peoples in the community. Fighting words really. But Lolly and Polly Vegas owned it and named the band as such.
I had heard the lead singer was a great guy,. heard he lived in California and would sit on his front porch, and teach kids how to play guitar
Yeah, homebody didn't seem to understand what he was watching & Listening to and how important Redbone is to Native Americans. Ill tell you now, She sure as hell got it.
Redbone were the originators of this song. It's been used countless times as background music and advertisements. Yes, it was used (again) in Guardians of the Galaxy. I ALWAYS thought this was a mixed black/white band (along the lines of WAR) by the name "Redbone". I never knew they were Native American!
I've never heard this live before, this is incredible!
70's midnight special, don kirshners rock concert and even SNL were mist watched to see bands if you couldn't see them live. And like someone else said they always brought their A game. Theses shows were where they were going to be seen by a national audience. No streaming, no MTV, etc...
