Dont worry about offending indians as far as looks we know we're beautiful.

I can listen to this on repeat for DAYS!!! *REDBONE* never got the credit they deserved and still deserve!!!

Midnight Special was absolutely terrific in the 70s.

Done live, no lip sync, no auto tune and maybe better than the recorded version. These guys were really good.

Rock band Redbone is a member of the Native American Hall of Fame, as well as the legendary Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. Just a little trivia info for you today.

you reacting to your bro's reaction here explains perfectly why people like reaction videos. The joy you had right there is what we have.

I like when young folks hear real music NO AUTOTUNE! Just talent

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on you. This is back when rock and roll was universal Great reaction guys rock on

If I remember correctly, Redbone is a term that came out of Louisiana and originally meant anyone who was mixed race.

I LOVE how they represented their culture at the beginning, then transitioned to the awesome song. LOVE 70s music (and Ren ❤)

Star-Lord Dance - Opening Credits Scene - Come and Get Your Love - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 😀😀😀😀😀😀

The look on your buddy's face "oh, sh*t!!"

Redbone is referring to native american. The first all native american band to make the top 40. they were even more popular in some foriegn countries.

I like redbone.i also liked Indian reservation by Paul revere and the raiders.listened over n over when I was little with my cousin playing a 45

Shoshone Represent!!!! We got tunes... from back in the day to today, we got dancing and singing, it's definitely our thing. If you grew up on the Rez you heard these guys constantly.

This song makes me proud to be an American Indian! The Naitive dress they used for special ceremonies and traditional powwows are presented on stage with this song reminiscent of the ancestral tradition.

Friday nights in the 70s were awesome for 2 reason's - Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. First national appearances for ands like Fleetwood Mac and ground breaking stuff from Rolling Stones & Bowie.

I loved his mouth drop 😧❤

This has to be Redbone's best song. I hadn't heard it for years till Guardians of the galaxy came out

They called themselves Redbone from what I understand because some of the band members were Native and Mexican mixed.

“Red & yellow, black & white, they are precious in His sight.”❤😊Was it you who recently reacted to Ray Stevens “Everything is Beautiful”? If not, it’s great! I’ll look back. 😊😊

ok, here's another Redbone. Leon Redbone. Without my walking stick.

I’m a kindergarten teacher and in 2014 those five year olds know this song as from Guardians of the Galaxy …. It’s also the intro song to F is for family …which is hilarious. I always love when reactors do this song ❤

Nice reaction, yeah the term Redbone is a Louisiana Cajun epithet for half-breed.

The song originally 8 minutes long. The producer said it would never get airplay. Lolly worked all night to shorten it enough. Other songs are: We Were Wounded At Wounded Knee Witch Queen Of New Orleans One More Time Tennessee Girl Niji Trance Chant 13th hour Light As A Feather Suzi Girl And many more. They were passionate about their heritage. And yes this is from 1973. Wavoka from that album was very popular too.

I always refer to this song as a hidden gem of the 70's. I love watching the reaction from people who had no clue! Haha! Everyone knows the song, not everyone knows Redbone. This is one of my favorite songs, always has been. ❤

What you said in the beginning is very true! The exposure you give to many artists, to people that otherwise would never have seen them, is much appreciated! (At least by me lol) ❤

RIP Lolly!

I see reactors as modern day music journalists.

I love Redbone! Terrific band. I still listen to their music.

Priceless Reaction!!! You’ve seriously brought back some happy memories. My dad Eli was Okla. Cherokee, & way back in the day there were three songs that blasted in our house. This amazing song, “Indian Reservation” by Paul Revere & The Raiders, and of course “Eli’s Coming” by Three Dog Night. Thanks😊

I love to watch the ceremonial dancing! So graceful and beautiful!

Yep, Redbone here lol with Joe E Sparks ✨️ & BP! Let's goooOoOoo 🔥 💃 🤍✌️

great song, thanks next you should do Witch Queen of New Orleans :) great vid

Loved the powwow I was privileged to see while living in Colorado in the 90's...had friends in the Ute tribe . This was southern part of state...you can keep Denver lol

Pat and Lolly Vegas were incredible studio session guitarists. From the 1950's through the early 80's. They fully embraced their native american ancestry.

We lived through the best music in the 70s!! 😍😍

The opening always makes me think about what we seem to have lost over the years. "Check out our culture, it's awesome" has been replaced by "This is ours, you can't appreciate it" as people went from building bridges to manning walls.

This is another iconic performance from your archaeological dig.

Cliff Beats reaction to this was gold!

Lou diamond Phillips American dad was English,scots,irish and Cherokee. His mum was Filipino. His real last name is upchurch.

In Britain this brilliant song has been used for years and years in so many adverts. Very iconic ❤

This song was extremely popular in the 70's, I loved it and it was a personal favorite. I was in grade school the first time I heard it, 6th grade I think. He does look like Lou Diamond Philips.

Thanks, guys.. I saw this live performance on TV as a teenager, and already knew the song from "radio".. I was amazed.... what a talented group... appreciated the native American info... nobody on "radio" told us that sh*t! appreciate your reactions...

This song makes me think of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy 💖

Redbone is the first Native group to make the top ten on Billboard. Their placement in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie is perfect. I have one for you, BP: "Jeff Beck Group" is the name of the album and check out "Ice Cream Cakes" or "Sugar Cane" as well as other songs on the album. Jeff BEck was one of the guitar gods of the sixties and beyond who came out of the British Invasion of the "60's" This album is from 1972 and you won't regret it. I'll be watching for it.

My band in the early '70s, Axis, from S. FL played a rock festival with these guys in Williston, FL north of Gainesville. They rocked the festival of 20,000 attendees.

Love that men’s fancy dance pow wow category at the beginning!

I watch Joe!! He definitely needs to listen to the older music more!! But I love him ❤

I knew seeing his surprise was gonna be better than yours( which was great) but it was epic lol i love both of your channels guys!

Loved it all over again! 🎉🎉😊

I instantly knew what was coming from the title of the song. Never heard of the group name. Nuts! Great job guys!

I love the dream of America. I hope to see it happen someday.

Yup, they kicked ass on this song!Amazing!

Great song and great band! My husbands family is Native American from Washington State, Neah Bay and the Makah Nation. My daughters are biracial black and white and my oldest daughter was called redbone as a teen girl in the early 2000’s. Enjoy this song it’s great to dance too when you have a get together or party! ❤

Starlord had a tape and player of the music he liked in his backpack when he was kidnapped.. and thats all he had from home.. so that tape of music was very important to him. The present his dying mother gave him he never opened.. so at end of 1st movie he opens it and she made another tape of songs.. 70s.. Then 80s..

They started this video with a part of an authentic "Pow-Wow" before the transition into the song. You should witness the entire thing. Pretty cool for a band comprised of all Native Americans.

Wow, takes me back to high school. We listened to everything.

one of the best songs of all time, I had NO idea they sang it!

Graduated college in 1974 .. this song got lots of AM radio play .. still sounds great !

Two great men, thank you!!!❤❤🎉🎉

Star-Lord Dances to this in the opening credits scenes In "Guardians of the Galaxy"... it is also is the last scene of the last movie.

Lead singer looks like Chief from One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.😅

🇬🇧 Great reaction👌. Joe's face was a picture for sure. And it's reactions like this is why I LOVE reaction channels. Don't get me wrong, I don't subscribe to lots of reaction channels, (including yourself, 6). ❤🎼🎶

Lou Diamond Phillips is Filipino, but he's also ambiguously ethnic so he can play Latinos and First Nations.

I am glad you are doing these reactions and learning how good we had it back then. It was all about the music we didn't care who made it or what they looked like.

WOW! Just WOW! I've heard this! But I had no idea what they looked like. This is awesome! Thanks man!

This did not disappoint! Great reaction from the both of you! ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻😊

Heard this in the Uk when i was about seven . Amazing band and reaction videos bring old , young , past , present and world wide together! Also what a beautiful way to celebrate music especially for artists who have passed away there legacy and talent l7ves on and bring people together. Reaction videos rock ❤❤❤

You've seen the ribbon symbol that's all different things? It all started from a song by Tony Orlando and Dawn called 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree' give a listen if you want to know where the ball started rolling. They are another mixed race group that made it.

Jimmy Hendrix suggested they name themselves Redbone. The meaning being mixed race.

I just love this old music. So much joy and lightness.

YES! Captain Joe E Sparks! Set Gang in the house!

The bassist is Pat Vegas and the one singing is his brother "Lolly" Vegas. They are of Indigenous (Yaqui/Shoshone) Mexican descent. The other guitarist (dancing) is Tony Bellamy. He is listed as Indigenous (Yaqui) Mexican descent. Lou Diamond Phillips is of Scots-Irish and Cherokee descent via his father. Nothing noted about his mother. Both (Pat Vegas and Phillips) are handsome men and there is some similarity present in their features and stage presence when they were both younger. Diamonds played Ricky Valens in La Bamba.

I love when joee is on here. I immediately subscribed to his channel after his reaction with you to Falling in Reverse. He's amazing!! I'd love to see him on here more.

Even though I have seen this many times watching it with you both was 🔥🔥🔥

You should check out a group called "Hot Chocolate" the song "Everyone's a winner."

Absolutely classic song 🔥🔥🔥🔥 every time I hear it the first night comes to my mind now is f is for family and guardians of the Galaxy 😅

Dude! I just watched this video the other day, and I didn't see it at the time, but now I can't unsee it. Lou Diamond Phillips!

One of my fave bands as a child!! I'm a 58yo in Georgia...

Midnight Special was something else. Big stars from then would come on, comedians would do their acts. it was on Friday night at midnight. Different stars would MC. Some of the acts were Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Bee Gees Jim Croce, The Doobie Brothers, Marvin Gaye and so many others.

I worked with a lady who knew the drummer and he told her the song was about Heroin - listen to the song again - I wish I didn’t know that as I love this song!

I listened to this banger a lot when I was a teenager. They were H.O.T.

This is so very awesome! Love Joes reaction! Thanks for showing this to him! REDBONE is awesome!

This song is also the intro theme for the Bill Burr animated comedy series "F Is For Family" on Netflix...great show!

Joe E. Is a cool dude has killer personality ,& is very smart. A Great partner for video reactions.

The song is also used as the opening theme to Bill Burr's hysterical cartoon, F Is for Family.

as popular as this is my first awareness of Redbone was their other big hit Witch Queen Of New Orleans

Terrific guest! You guys synch together really well. Enjoyable reaction, thank you!

there best is wounded knee bud it was banned in the USA bud it was nr1 in many European country's and one of the biggest songs that year

Please check out Blackfoot. Another Native American rock band. Highway Song will blow your mind!

❤❤yay Joee

❤This song was also in the movie with Kevin Costner, the Postman. The townspeople were singing it❤

I love this song. THANK YOU for sharing this with us.😊

Funny you should say that one guy looks like Lou Diamond Phillips. Lou does has Cherokee blood from his father who was "an American of Scots-Irish and Cherokee descent". From Wikipedia: He has remained close to the Native American community and was adopted by an Oglala Lakota Sioux family in a traditional ceremony in 1991.[44] His Lakota name translates to "Star Keeper".[45] In 1990, Phillips organized a concert called "The Winds of Life" to benefit Native American causes.[46]

This is the happiest song on Earth

I just realized that this intro is almost the same as the intro that Outkast used in their Hey Ya 2004 Grammy's performance. I don't believe that's a coincidence. 😂

Redbone was a Cajun term for native/European half-breed, the natives used it to describe mixed tribe persons.

First time i seen my mom dancing in years after dad passed, was this song.

You're my favorite reactionist, keep doing what you're doing
