First Time Hearing Redbone - Come And Get Your Love (Reaction!)

I believe It’s the only Native American written song to reach the top 5 on the billboard Hot 100. Talk about underrepresented. As someone with Native American heritage, I encourage everyone to go to a pow wow, or watch a documentary or listen to some Native American drums and flutes to round out your life. It’s our American foundation. ❤❤❤

I had a friend she taught at the Navajo Nation in Gallup, New Mexico, saw a Pow-Wow Celebration. Everyone should see and experience one😊 it was exciting and fun! 😀 PEACE ✌️ GARY

@destinyreelly2974 Buffy Saint-Marie co-wrote Up Where We Belong. It spent three weeks at #1 in November, 1983. She was the first Native American to win an Oscar and a Golden Globe, when the song won Best Original Song. She went on to win the British BAFTA award also. The song was named one of the songs of the century by the Music Association.

[@randomtruths3400]

@@leannmiller7153 Unfortunately, Buffy was fake native. It's since been revealed she was from an Italian-American family and lied in every possible way about her ancestry, including lying about being adopted (her real family still can't figure out how she thought she could get away with it).

Redbone has the same meaning here. Many of the members are mixed race, (Native American and Mexican) which is where the term Redbone came from in New Orleans. Also, Lolly Vegas (the singer) was Jimi Hendrix favorite guitar player. It is said Hendrix was the one who influenced them to start Redbone. Lolly and Pat (the two brothers in the band) have played with everyone from Tina Turner to James Brown to Elvis. Truly legends.

Redbone is the only funk rock band made up of all Mexican & Native American heritage members. This was reflected in their songs, stage costumes & album art. "Come & Get Your Love" was their biggest hit in 1974. This song was used in the 2014 movie "Guardians Of The Galaxy". But they had some other songs such as "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen Of New Orleans", "Wovoka", "Maggie" etc.

[@TonyM1961]

Okay, just to set the record straight, Mexicans are just Natives from the other side of an imaginary line drawn on the map by white people to decide who "owns" the land

[@SBel65]

In this song, ‘Hail’ is in the context of praise (as in “all hail to…”). He’s praising this woman (“you’re fine and you’re mine and you look so devine”).

[@EVILxHEMI]

Native Pride! Muwekma Ohlone of the San Francisco Bay Area! Thank you for showcasing this amazing tune from this Native American band! When I saw the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy and they played this song, my jaw dropped! I felt such pride as a Native American! Me and band always cover this song, too! The crowd loves it and sings along with us!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This has been a huge hit since the 70s. Of course many younger people have heard it from Guardians of the Galaxy, but I've known this song since I was young! The members are a combination of Native American & Mexican, I believe. They're very well respected in music & the Native American community really holds appreciates the representation in rock, although there are other Native American rockers!

[@MikeCoggan]

Never gets old! You cannot hear this and not be uplifted, even 50 years later

Man, I remember watching this on TV. The Midnight Special was a very influential program - EVERYBODY eventually appeared on it during the 70's. Great show, and this was exciting to watch. It's too bad they never got bigger than they did. They were a great band.

[@cindyv1401]

How cool is the group 🤩 RedBone

[@Gloren50]

Had the privilege of seeing them in concert at William and Mary College on Jan 21, 1972. They rocked the house. They were one of my favorite groups from the early 1970s. No, it isn't 'hail', it is 'hey'. The lead singer is Lolly Vegas. I had all of their vinyl albums back in the day. All of their music has clear elements of Native American rhythms and sense of music.

[@Faye-w5f]

It was "hey" when it came out, but recently the Mandela Effect changed it to "hail". Look up the lyrics and you'll see it both ways. I've even seen it printed as "hell" occasionally. Weird, l know.

[@debrablumrogers5096]

Growing up on the Rez in Cali in the 70's that was one song you would always hear playing in any of the Pomo Indian cars. No matter if on or off the Rez that would be playing at some point. Brings back memories. Thanks for honoring it bro.

The Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian recognizes Redbone as the first Native American rock/Cajun band to have a number one single in the United States and internationally.

Love Redbone, they have a song called “ we were all wounded at wounded knee”. Not sure if it became popular in the U.S. because it’s about how Native Americans were slaughtered . I know it well because it was a big hit in Europe. Also, “witch queen of New Orleans “ is great.

Hail, has another meaning other than the weather phenomenon. A Hail is an outcrying, or shouting. Back in the day you would Hail a Taxicab, arm upraised and shouting "Hey, Taxi" !

[@handheadman]

A hail is a call out to get someone's attention, like Lt. Uhura on 'Star Trek' calling out to another ship. I've loved this song since it was in heavy rotation on the radio when I was a kid. It's great that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' opened it up to a whole new audience. There's a lot of great, old tunes on that soundtrack. Thanks for sharing your reactions, you're listening to amazing stuff and the appreciation shows.

Just found your channel with the 1st video being, "Groove is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite and this being the 2nd.

Check out Fanny, the all girl band that I think are all American Indians, too. Their song, "Charity Ball" and other songs from the early 1970's. You can find a video of this all girl band performing Charity Ball.

[@eddielane9569]

When you look up the lyrics on the internet there are three separate versions of what he is saying. One of them is Hey. The other is Hell and the third is Hail. Either Hey, Hell or Hail come and get your love. Personally I think it's hey because to me that would make more sense.

I Got 2 bands that are mostly comprised of Native Americans . For a Hard Rock take on "Southern Rock" you have Blackfoot led by Rickey Medlocke who has been a member of Lynyrd Skynrd for over 20 years now . "Blackfoot" is a 4 piece band with Native Americans Medlocke , Jackson Spires & Greg Walker with "token white guy" Charlie Haggart . Rickey was also an early member of Lynyrd Skynyrd too , before they got their record deal . "Highway Song" is the bands guitar anthem much like Skynyrds "Freebird" . Another Aptly named band of Native Americans "Indigenous" is an off the beaten track favorite of mine . Their Lead Guitarist & Singer Mato Nanji evokes a style heavily influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan . A music video of them to check out is "Things we Do" . Also their song "Rest of my Days" made some headway on the charts . You'll really pick up on the SRV influence with these 2 songs 🙂
