This was video from the live version synced to the album version, the live version had the dancing and the audio was live.

Yeah, I haven't seen this without the dance before. That was a bit disappointing.

Is that what was going on? It looked like Midnight Special set, they were dressed the same, but something just seemed different. The dance intro, the la las, and the fadeout

Guardians of the Galaxy had this song in the soundtrack and revived the songs popularity, and everyone realizing Redbone were Native Americans

Shout out to all first nations peoples ❤ this song/band

You should go back and watch the entire video. They dance. Super cool.

The group got its name from the actual term "redbone", as describe in the Wikipedia snippet (below): The word "redbone" is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person, which the band adopted to signify their mixed ancestry. The Vasquez-Vegas brothers were of Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage. The band often alluded to Cajun and New Orleans culture in their lyrics and performing style.

It's just as awesome today as it was in 1974. I was 14 years old and watched it live on the Midnight Special (never missed that show!). Timeless greatness! Redbone was ground breaking at the time and we were all there for it. This song has been saved as a favorite on my playlist. I listen to it often just for the happiness it brings, and it transports me back to the best times of my life. Glad they got rediscovered by whole new generations with Guardians of the Galaxy. Don't dis us boomers y'all, we had it all and we had fun!!!

The brothers were Yaqui, Shoshone as well as Mexican heritage. The full video shows their tribal dance at the beginning which is really cool

The dance was great. Go back and watch it.

Please watch the entire video with the Native American dance before the song. It's so cool.

I grew up in the 70s/80s & this song was huge, huge, huge in the 70s. On that radio all the time. So cool that they performed in their Native American clothing on Midnight Special. Until they did that, most people had no idea they were Native American/Mexican. Iconic song.

Redbone was one of the best groups back in day. I think they were more popular out west and in Canada then the eastern parts of the US. But for anyone like myself who grew up with an Native American background knew them well! They were our heros. This song was just 1 of many hits they had. Another song was called: "The witch queen of New Orleans"Maggie , as well as "Maggie". You should check them out as well!

This is one of those songs that you can’t get out of your head all day after hearing it. Very catchy.

Takes me back to the 70's INSTANTLY!!!! Summer days in the mountains, looking at pretty girls, breathing the crisp clean air... 😍

Redbone has been around since 1970 (and they were great back then). The song by them that you MUST hear is “Maggie”. I promise you will not be disappointed. Maggie - Redbone | The Midnight Special

They released "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee" in 1973. The song was inspired by the horrific massacre of the Lakota Sioux by the U.S. Military in 1890. And with the so-called 'controversial' subject matter, many American radio stations banned and refused to play it in spite of it charting HIGHLY in the international markets. Yeah. Some things NEVER change. And yes, you need to watch the Midnight Special version of this to check out that Native American dance intro at the beginning. R.I.P. Tony Bellamy and Lolly Vegas. 😢❤

This was a huge hit in the early 70’s. We were all vibing to this back in the day!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aho!. The Witch Queen Of New Orleans is another good one by Redbone.

Yes indeed 👍🏽

Brothers Pat and Lolly Zegas were in high demand as session and TV musicians they played on many projects in the late 50's and through the 70's They were the first native American band to reach the Top 5 in Billboard. Cone and Get Your Love was a RIAA certified gold single

I am one=eighth Cherokee and this just thrilled me when it came out! Roller skated to it in the 70's!

Bravo for reacting to this song! One of the few charting Native American Bands, and one of the best songs that came out of the 70’s ❤🔥

RIP Lolly!

I watch this over and over and I agree the dance at the beginning is well worth the watch. Their performance history is really cool as lounge singers in Vegas!!!

They were studio musicians from the north west Jimmy Hendrix told them they should start their own band.

I was 11 years of age when this song was released, and I remember how popular it was.

The Midnight Special. I recall watching this when it first aired...already knew the song as it was on the radio. As a young girl, I thought the guy in black was so Handsome! And I can remember dancing to the song in front of the t.v.., and so glad my parents were on a mini vacation and I had the place to myself. Had the 1 small speaker in the t.v. cranked up quite loud...lol.

You should listen to the song Rumble by Link Wray who was an indigenous guitar player in the 1950s and was very influential in the world of rock and roll.

I was a kid when this song was a hit and it was BIG and everywhere for a while. The only Native American band with a hit song

The video is from The Midnight Special...the guy on the far left in Native American clothes does a Native American dance before they go into the song.

Back in 1971 my band got to play a rock festival with them in Florida. They were great!!!

NPR just interviewed the last living member. They wrote songs about the government's mistreatment of Native Americans but they were banned in usa because they were controversial. He has a new album coming out. They helped their community. Come and Get your Love meant all kinds of love.

"Voodoo Queen of New Orleans" was their other big hit.

They also have the song "Witch Queen of New Orleans!!!

This video is from The Midnight Special show and it's this song by Redbone but it includes a traditional Native American dance at the beginning of the song. Very cool. Think you'll enjoy. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaJ-06irhqeZpag.html

I loved this song when it played on the radio, had no idea they were Native Americans…so nice looking too!👍🩵

ONE PLANET ONE SPECIES ONE TRUTH

This video is missing the intro which was important. That mustache is called a Foo Man Chu.

That song is a frickin JAM.

You missed the best part! The original video of this performance is from the tv show Midnight and there was a Native dance done by the guy in blue at the beginning.

I was familiar with Pat and Lolly in 1966. They had a great band that play in a club on the sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Ca. Really good

I was a kid when this was out and never knew this was a native band, but listening and watching you can hear it clearly. What a great song.

The Witch Queen of New Orleans is one of my favorites. It's about Marie Laveau, a practitioner of Voodoo.

Please please revisit this and watch the entire video 💚 Timeless song 🎶🎵

I loved this song in High School, now it's a classic.

Here is the original broadcast version with the extra beginning. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqh31sdmaZy5ltI.html&ab_channel=TheMidnightSpecial The version they just watched is the studio version of the audio, played over the live version visual. That's why I'm sure the beginning dance is not there for these guys. It's to bad someone made this version to get likes and it's not the official Midnight Special version. Some peoples kids.......tisk tisk I swear this world. Glad these guys liked it though, to bad they were sent/given a hacked downgraded one.

OMG, I don't know how old you guys are, but look my age. I was born in the 60's and remember when it came out. The chorus was always heard, when I was in HS

Guardians of the Galaxy is quite possibly the greatest movie sound track of all time

I forgot how much I love this song!!!!

Yes, we were all cool back then, my Karate instructor was native American back then!😎

I was looking forward to seeing the dance in the beginning 😢. Still good. I really think you should watch it when you can.

One great example of sing and band pat and lolly

These guys are so cool and a great song to boot!

This song was everywhere!! Love it and the rarity of an all Native band!! They rocked it and I didn't feel like they ever got their 💐 Super talented! ❤ EDIT: real bummer this video was so chopped. 😶

I can't hear this song now without thinking about the Guardians of the Galaxy with Star Lord doing his little dance to this song in the opening scene.

Native Indian Band

wounded knee is there best song nr 1 in Europa and 1 of the biggest songs that Year

❤Amo esta rolita desde que era niña es genial , aún y así no supiera que decía eso no importa es lo fantástico de la música te llega y te prende y se queda para siempre con Tigo . Y me encanto que la dejaron completa gracias

I hope these guys still own the rights to the song so they can make that money

You should have played whole video the Native American dance at first adds so much, this is a great song and great video , love it so happy

Back in the 70s, we just heard the song on the radio; there were no videos. Unless you caught somebody live on The Midnight Special or a similar show or bought the album, you had no idea what the band looked like. But I have always loved the song.

I have heard of Redbone and I’ve heard the song thousands of times but never knew the two went together.

This is the first 45 I bought. Still moves me to this day.

Loved Redbone and

I remember this song as a kid, it loved it!! My older brothers and sister would play it on our massive wooden cabinet stereo.

Tony Orlando and Dawn - Gents, love to add this amazing 70s group to your reaction list. They had multiple #1 songs and were huge in the early 70s. Maybe start with Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree (#1 billboard song of 1973) which was a tribute to the Vietnam Vets or Knock Three Times (#1 song multiple weeks in 1971). They have great harmonies and bet you would like em!

Actually, Yellow Ribbon was about a guy coming home from prison. Because of the time of release, it was co-opted for returning Vietnam Veterans.

You must have heard their biggest hit,Witch Queen of New Orleans? If not,get on it,you’ll love it.

I owned this 45!

They also did the Witch Queen of New Orleans.

There is a French phone commercial that uses this song and I think gave it a recent resurgence.

This came out my freshman year of HS - and it never gets old

This song came out when I was REALLY LITTLE.. but I remember it (It's also on the soundtrack of a movie called Dick - a satire of the Nixon Watergate scandal - which is great and has an incredible soundtrack) - I did not know they were native American.. SO COOL!!!! WOW. It's a great song - it had to be, I still remember it from when I was a toddler. The song was released in January of 1974 - so it's 50 years old this year. hard to believe.

This song is so amazing and you know what good for our original American people! Native Americans are America!

Played in the opening scene with Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.. Banger song and soundtrack.. I was in High School when this song was released..

They do a great Native American dance performance before the song kicks in.

I loved this song the first time I heard it! 🔥

I’ve loved this song forever. SO FUNKY. Everything about it

How you three haven't covered Etta James "I'd rather go blind" LIVE in Montreau 1975 is insane. It's an Iconic performance.

One of my favorite all time songs❤

Love this song...

You guys are all heart.

They did a cover of JJ Jackson's "But it's Alright" Y'all should check it out. 😊❤

Cool song popular back in the day . Didn't hear it for years until GoG.

Love this song❤

I'm instantly friends with any man who uses the term "interweb" 😂💯👍

Their first single Maggie is really good. Came out in 1970.

My dad has rhis song on a record and used to play it a lot

A great song ! Great reaction!

First time I heard this song. It was at the Fair enrichmand it was one of the rides that I was riding and they were playing Play in this

This was the jam, in the day. We loved it especially because they were native people. I can't sit still if I hear it! I would like to know what you think of Expressway,(to your heart), by The Soul Survivors.

Loved this song by Redbone it's was great. Brings back memories of 1974. What a year that was. I was twenty years old and this song was my message to all the young ladies. Can't blame a guy for trying!

Beautiful song and hair.

Love this song, it's used still on JC Penney commercials, just seen it the other night

F is for family is where I heard it first it’s the Theme song to the bill burr animated show on Netflix

James Gunn and Quentin Tarantino are 2 of the best directors when it comes to music selection in their films, reintroducing incredible music and including it in memorable ways.

❤ great song

Redbone was a Cajun term describing a native american/European half-breed

"Mr Blue Sky' by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) is another great song, period, but you'll also know if from Guardians of the Galaxy!! It's the music for a huge scene!!

Love u guys!!❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of many songs featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy/Avengers movies...for young people to discover without their parents pushing it on them.

My jam!
