Yup, Native Americans were the first to Crip Walk. Actually, it's called the Fancy Dance. 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

Their ancestors were the original American soul singers.

It Goes Down On The Midnight Special 🙌🏾

He's saying she should come and get her love because SHE DESERVES IT. She's beautiful he sees it and she should be appreciated for it.

Yeah. It's "gentleman stuff". He's telling her there's nothing wrong with her. She's great as she is, and he's there wanting her ... as she is. Great stuff.

My granddaughter has been a Native American jingle dancer for many years, my grandson is a drummer!! They must come up with a design and make their own regalia, plus do their own beading!! The dances and dancers are breath taking!! If you ever get the chance to see a PowWow please do it, you won't be sorry you did!!

This song is great in the opening of Gaurdians of the Galaxy

Having Native Heritage I never knew this was a Native American band. It was little b4 my time, but i know the song. Redbone should have let me know it was Native Name. My grandmother was Full Native. My Daddy never let us forget our Heritage. My Daddy was a Trip he wrote the dog as dependent on taxes in 70s. When audited by IRS he said BlackDog was Native Name for 1 of his kids... LOL

All native Americans.....awesome!

“ You’re fine and you’re mine and you look so divine yeah…”🎶🎶🎶🎶

I miss The Midnight Special. It was a real showcase of what was happening. Sure do miss those days, and that music. Missing a performance of this show or Soul Train, American Bandstand, and Saturday Night Live could mean you lost seeing a great performance. Back in those days you weren't sure you would get another chance to catch it unless you saw a rerun. Gotta love the internet.

The studio version is a little better than this live version, but not really much. But I think its cool to see some of these old songs played live, by the original artist.

The Midnight Special was one of the best TV shows back on the 70s

The only all Native American rock band. Awesome!

I miss the old Midnight Special, great content.

Lots of people didn’t know REDBONE was a Native American Band so proud of my Native Brothers A’HO🦅💯🎼🎤

Omg - it’s cracking me up that nobody seemed to know this was an NDN band! I grew up on the Makah Indian reservation and everybody jammed to Redbone (we still do). The drummer, Pete DePoe is my uncle Ron DePoe’s brother. They’re a Plains Tribe and we’re a NW Coast canoe society of whalers. But Ron married my Auntie back in the 70s and now their youngest son is a Makah Tribal Councilmen 😂.

I find it absolutely amazing that the tribal dances of people oceans apart is so similar, I’m in Australia and his dance at the start was so much like some Australian Aboriginal Tribal dances I’ve seen! So gorgeous 💕

I never knew they were Native American till I finally got to see the music video I had heard the song for many years

Loved your reaction to this one. Please do Charlie Pride! He’s an African American Country singer who is a legend! You need to know this incredible man! Kiss An Angel Good Morning was one of his biggest hits!

Della Reese did the eulogy at Lolly's funeral.

Missed you yesterday!!! Oh the 70’s!!!! I miss them!!! ❤️

Native Americans can groove with the best rockers as well

I was geeking waiting for your face when the song started. 🤣

WOWWWWWW i haven't heard this in many years. Love it !!!

You should watch the documentary "Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World". It's an eye-opener you can find on Amazon Prime Video. Too long for a reaction video, but you will be glad you saw it.

This song is the opening to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Omg, I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!

"The Midnight Special" was a late-night variety show that aired on NBC from 1973 until 1981. It aired on Friday nights after "The Tonight Show (Starring Johnny Carson)", from 12:30 AM until 2:00 AM. The show featured popular Rock and R & B music acts of the day, along with comedy segments and appearances by standup comics. Sometimes, the show would air concert video footage of various music artists.

Now we rolling......!!!!!

We got a banger bois.

My native ppl are so beautiful so is our heritage no he is tellin a woman that she is beautiful and she needs to come get the love she deserves and he is offerin

This song is also the intro song for Bill Burrs cartoon comedy F is for Family

Oh my God, I had a huge crush on every one of these guys!! I wanted to get my love. But I was stuck in Tennessee. A senior in high school. They still make my heart go haywire. I still get chills.

Now do Mungo Jerry - In the summertime 😃

The whole hey is what he was doing in the intro . Then the breakdown when it get funky is the meat of the song . And it’s a great 2 step song when ya hip hurt from doing a split after listening to cab Calloway and them lol

Good Morning Mr. Video! Happy to see you today!😊 Great reaction, hope you have a good day! ✌

Always been a fan of these guys, who brought the traditions of their nation into the music they made. They are all natives so they got every bit of right to do what they did, they shared their history with us in the form of dance and song. Redbone had a few big hits, this being the biggest hit i think (altho Witch Queen of New Orleans might be the slightly bigger hit? unsure). Little bit surprised you didnt recognize this song as the big song from the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" as that brought this amazing song back to the main stream 40+ yrs later. Great react man, always enjoy seeing your amazement hehehe.

YEAH!!! so ready for this.

Missed you yesterday!

So listen, I’m 53 years old I was four when this song came out I’ve been listening to this song for a long damn time! And I freaking love this song. I had no idea they were Native American. My husband just informed me of this. He knows because his mother God rest her soul was Native American.

That intro is so hype! EDIT: This ain't a pick up song, it's a lay down song man. Dude's already got the love and now it's their turn to come and get yo love.

This is fantastic!!!!! Brilliant fo sure!

Everyone thought this was a Black R&B group until we all saw them on this show (The Midnight Special) . They have another big hit called "The Witch Queen From New Orleans." Its scary! They be talikin about this Voo-Doo woman castin spells and stuff. Holloween type scary stuff.

I grew up hearing this song alot as my mother played it often. I never knew this was done by a native American band. How awesome it is discovering new things about older music. Changes my perspective in a positive way.

Redbone were an amazing group, RIP Lolly, and Tony, Lolly was the singer, and Tony was the lead guitarist.

Bro if you ever have a chance to goto pow-wow you should go... It is a whole different experience in life that will open your eyes to a family and spiritual connection like no other place. And to be honest I had no idea this was NATIVES singing this song. even being 1/4 cherokee.. My mind was thinking some REDBONES, sheatah we know some Atlanta Redbones Mastadon - Motherload, get your $$$$ ready....

Awesome..love this somg miss the midnight special!!!!

"Stop playin with me today, I'm hungry" lmao you got me crackin up as usual 😅

Pat and "lolly are brothers they are Yaqui Indian and Mexican. That was a native ceremonial pow wow dance he was doing. This song and We were all wounded at wounded knee were there best selling songs. Mr. Video when you get a minute look up Wounded Knee it's something that happened in South Dakota. Redbone wrote a song about that event.

History time. Checkout Link Wray's 1958 hit called rumbles, you will not regret it. That is a bad ass native jam.

Yes Native Pride!💛🧡❤🖤 representing my peoples🥰

This fool said the Indian walk lmmfao me being NATIVE american that's some funny shit. And this has to be the funniest reaction to this song. There's a lot of NATIVE talent out there we just don't get any recognition.. Thumbs up Mr. Video your quickly becoming my favorite KZfaqr no lie!!!

What a blessing that your watching the song I told you about cause I remember telling you so glad to see your smile while watching this

"Everybody's got a little soul in them." Leo, that was BRILLIANT.

1974....good year...my birth year

Redboone and Southern Rock band Blackfoot is the only Native Indian rock bands in the history of music. Blackfoot - Highway Song; Train Train. You will dig the vocals!

Paul Rivere... Indian Reservation

No longer called "indians".... we are "Native" .... thank you...love this song....

I've been on indian reserves and they have some very good musicians there. They were playing blues and rock and roll.

This is a whole jam. I heard the song but never knew they were Native American. So cool!

This is an example of what they do at their Pow Wows. If not mistaken this one is a Fancy Dancer. Different costumes have different names and dances.

I know I've told you this before, but I'm so glad I found you. I got turned onto reaction videos when those twins were trending on Twitter for the Phil Collins reaction and then I just started looking around. You were the one that appealed to me. In the last few days I've looked around at a few other ones just for comparison. There is NO comparison!! The people are all nice enough, but it's not fun or entertaining like you are. I don't understand how they don't get blocked for not pausing. But on the flip side, the pausing is what makes it fun. It is what gives you the edge! When you pause, you react and you sit in the music and you interact with us and with the song. I think I told you the other day, you do more than just listen to the song, you react to the lyrics in a fun way, you react with the group/artist in a fun way, calling them by name, you react to the beat/dance, etc. and you talk to us and look at the camera. You make it an experience for us. You will outlast the other ones because we are enjoying you as much as the songs. You have your own expressions and comedy! I've never commented this much on anything in my life!

First time i heard this song in the opening movie of guardians of the galaxy... Think god i new they were the original singers...love it..sooo much

We were all funkin' in the 70s. It rocked. Ahhh, love that shiny hair on Lolly!!

This has been one of my very favorite songs since the 70s. Such a great song!

I loved the early 70's. I was a little kid, no worries. The music was great. So fun watching you enjoy it.

💞

Hey Mr. Video... you skipped music school yesterday! I think there is detention in your future! LOL. Refreshing that many have discovered Native American participation in rock/pop music. This group was quite amazing for their time. Understand their culture is still subject to US government reservations. As they cling to there heritage, we continue to decimate their native land. Sorry, this is a issue close to me. My two cents. While here, can we all silently take a moment to remember over 200K, lost to Covid-19. Prayers for their eternal peace and their families. ❤️

All my life I thought they were just singing, "Hey," till a few months ago when I realized they were singing, "Hail"! Makes a big difference.

I've been hoping you would do this song. And you're right, I've felt for a long time that PowWow dancing has an influence on some hiphop dances. Glad you saw the connection too. I'm thinking about sending you a bracelet I beaded over 40 years ago. I hope you like it!

Love it....

Dude!! You’re gonna hit 100k before you know it!!

Ahhhh yeah! Full blooded Navajo here! Good song and reaction video! Hello from Portland Oregon! Go Blazers lol

Wow I'm so glad you picked the video I showed you I'm so happy you are listening this great music wow man you are awesome cause man there great native American music man what a brilliant treat man so happy for you

If you want a total experience and a vocal out of this world. Take a few good drags, lay back, eyes closed and drift off to heaven. Pink Floyd Great Gig in the Sky!!

Thank you for your existence and your beautiful soul!

Love Redbone. I had the biggest crush on Lolly Vegas the lead singer when I was in my teens. Awesome reaction video..

Awesome band with an unique sound. RIP Tony and Lolly.

This song came out when I was 6 and was one of the first "rock" songs I remember hearing. It made me the music lover I am today. ❤

Bro, they originated in L.A. in 1968

Starting the day off right! Not sure if I was happier to see Mr.Video reaction to this song or seeing that our packages were being delivered today! Brilliant!

Growing up my Auntie had a 1972 Split Bumber Camero. She would rock Red Bone on the 8 Track.

Thank you for listening to this man. This is my dads music.

Awwe this was my friend Sonny's go to karaoke song! He was a proud native man, but passed last year very young and out of the blue. This brought a smile to my face.

Good morning! GREAT song!

This was another one I suggested thanks for listening to all your viewers your awesome..great reaction

These dudes were Huge in LA, Especially east LA😀

Thanks for reacting! Great song! The lead singer is lolly vegas who wrote the song. The base player and backup singer next to him is his younger brother pat vegas. They were incredible. The dancer in Indian costume and lead guitarist is tony bellamy, and the great drummer is Butch rellerio

When I was bartending in San Francisco, one of my regulars would get the whole bar singing along to this song every. Single. Friday. It was a blast!

I believe MJ borrowed that “ Indian walk”.

Asked my dad to think of something that youtube couldn't possibly have 10 years ago.. he said Redbone..... He's the man that turned me on to buffalo springfield.

soul & groove has no colour young brother........... eyes wide open my man!

Native walk*

The Lead singer is the uncle to a good friend of mine. Here in New Mexico. Crazy thing is it looks just like him. Stay safe and stay blessed my friend .👍🇺🇸✌

My brother, you should do a reaction to another of their songs called We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee, it's the only song that DJ's from that time refused to play on air. A'ho It's really worth a listen.

I grew up listening to this song...sang it....loved it, but I never knew these guys were Native American and honestly it just makes me love this song more now. Much Respect!!

loved this also growing up also, NEIL PEART, DRUM SOLO LIVE IN FRANKFURT!!! you wont be disappointed

My song right here ♥ Major JAM got major playtime on black radio back then. We've always had soul. I just played this a few days ago, lol STUDIO VERSION is much better. Every Saturday at 12am I couldn't wait for The Midnight Special to come on, had all the great performers on.

This was the jam in the 70s!!
