This song was so huge in the 1970's....no one got out of the 1970's without knowing this song inside and out.

Being American Indian, I loved the beginning. I love this song also.

Man, if you ain't dancing after the first few bars of that song, you're comatose! Sadly, vocalist/guitarist Candido "Lolly" Vasquez-Vegas (Performed vocals on this song) and vocalist/guitarist Tony "T-Bone" Bellamy are no longer with us, Vasquez-Vegas having passed in 2010 and Bellamy in 2009. 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. "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" is one example of the Cajun influence in their music.

"I'm Larry. This my brother Darryl; this my other brother Darryl." 😆 I like the bro videos guys. Much love and blessings!

I love how your brothers instinctively started grooving with the dancer at the beginning! Solid proof that music is indeed the great unifier. ❤️

I just got a huge childhood flashback listening to this song. In Southern California, riding in the back of the car, windows open, sunny. On our way to "Skate Way" to go roller skating with Redbone, come and get your love and Saturday in the park by Chicago playing on the radio. I must have been about 10 years old. Makes me smile. I really enjoy seeing you and your brothers reacting to great music. And you are right, The Midnight Special was truly the MTV of the 70s.

Yes Redbone was Native American, & the Dance is called the "Fancy Dance", Pan-Indian dancing, Fancy Feather or Fancy War Dance is a style of dance some believe was originally created by members of the Ponca tribe in the 1920s and 1930s, in an attempt to preserve their culture and religion. It is loosely based on the War dance. Please react to more, they have many hits out there!!! Luv your reaction Brother's 😊

We also had the Saturday night special featuring wolfman Jack it was similar to the midnight special And don't forget Don kershner's rock concert. That was our video channels long before MTV hit the scene

Nothing like 70's funk!

Jamel, you and your brothers together are a trip. Keep having fun together!

Little known fact: For the dance that precedes the song, the crew put microphones under the stage to emphasize his footwork, to great effect. The more you know...

I remember watching this show. I had heard the song a thousand times, but my mind was blown when I saw this and found out they were Native American! The song is so funky.

Love this song!!!

Yessir our Native anthem! This a classic. Hell, even my 4yo daughter LOVES this song

It's so funny to see you all dancing the same...shoulders shaking & fingers wagging! Love you guys! Your brother in the collared shirt even has your smile & laugh.

Love this song! Got to a new audience with the soundtrack of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Agree Jamel......headphones are a must! Loved watching your brothers funk out to a song I've never gotten tired of hearing for 40+ years.

I don’t know who I love more, Redbone or the three of you!

LOLOLOL!!! "back in the day" we had to puzzle out the lyrics from the radio until we could afford to buy the album. We still laugh and sing our messed up lyrics

Your brothers are great!

native american group. love them big time

Hello to the brothers 👋 Thank you for reacting to Redbone. I am full blooded Native American and am always appreciative of these reactions and the acknowledgment of Native American talent even when the words are not correct. Love that this song was featured on Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy !! Come and getchya love now ❤️

You still have to check out T-Rex doing "Bang A Gong" on the Midnight Special. It is a killer performance.

Always loved this song since the '70's. That said, this reaction was just pure fun. You guys are just what I needed today.

Great reaction guys. You can’t help but to sing along with this great song 🎶🎶🔥🔥☮️☮️

love redbone

Fun Fact: the dance at the beginning can only be done by someone who has trained in it and allowed to perform it publicly. Talk about hundreds of years of tradition! Beautiful. Like those Griffin cheekbones!

I love watching you three interacting together. Your laughter is infectious.

☮️💜check out Cherokee People( Indian Reservation) by Paul Revere and the Raiders 1971. ( I prefer their version) The original was by Marvin Rainwater 1959 The writer is John Loudermilk who also wrote Tobacco Road and many other hits

You guys made this song even more fun. Take this show on the road!

One of my favorites!!!

Can’t beat 70’s music. All the serious vocal coaches picking apart the slightest peep in a singer’s voice have nothing on you all just grooving and having a good time. Keep it up fellas.

Haha! So much fun with this song! You all would enjoy listening to Redbone singing Witch Queen of New Orleans!

Love the Midnight Special reactions. Used to stay up with my 3 older brothers and sister to watch it. Parents never minded us staying up so late, getting along and groovin together to great music 🎶

I am Cherokee, and this song makes me beam with pride every time I hear it

You can't help but sing and dance along with this song. I've been in clubs back in the day when the whole joint was singing. Ya'll did good on this one. Enjoyed watching ya'll grove to it.

That was awesome! Love that song! Miss The Midnight Special! Actually went to one show when I was 11, back in 1975. I remember Billy Preston was one of the acts playing that night. My friends mom worked at NBC where they filmed in Burbank, California, and even though we were too young to be there (I think you had to be 18), we got special permission, because of her mom working there. I don't remember all of it, but, I remember having a blast! 😁

Bless your momma. Looks like she had her hands full.

Redbone was the first Native American band to achieve a Top 5 single on the Billboard Hot 100.

So happy you showed this...he's beautiful on his full self and dancing!

Y'all are killing me!!! The midnight nub? What the hell?? I. AM. DYING!!! Y'all are a trip!!! Love it!!!

redbone was the first to come out in traditional clothing. That was the jam back in the day. Check out a modern day native man who raps and has a command of electronics like no other. Supaman, "Why" 👍😉 love your always genuine reaction and bringing in the family in for a moment to share the love of music 💕

Love watching when people who feel good music get into a grove. And this song is all about that vibe. Redbone was the real deal.

I snuck into the den to see Redbone on Midnight Special. If I'd been anywhere near them I'd have gone and got some love. The one in the middle was one handsome man.

I love how you guys can tease each other and no one gets mad! Beautiful.

A "Guardians of the Galaxy" favourite of mine.....but Groot can dance better than me!!

Y’all actually have some pretty good singin voices brother Jamal 🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🎵🎧🎵🎧🎵🎧🎵🎧

I REMEMBER PLAYING THE RECORD OVER AND OVER BUT WHEN I FIRST GOT CABLE T.V. I FELT LIKE I HAD UNLIMITED ACCESS TO MUSIC VIDEOS AND A VISUAL LOOK AT MY FAVORTE ARTISTS, GROUPS & BANDS BLEW MY MIND WHEN I FIRST SAW "RED❤BONE" I DIDN'T HAVE THE L.P. RECORD JACKET JUST THE 33 L.P. IT WAS AFTER THE SONG "LIQUID TRUTH" ON THE B·SIDE WAS "COME GET YOUR LO❤E" SO I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE NATIVE TRUE AMERICANS I'VE LO💚E THIS SONG BRINGS BACK MUSIC FROM MY CHILDHOOD THANKS JAMEL_AKA_JAMAL & GRIFFIN BROTHERS ✌🏼& LO💚E

I was 8 years old when this came out and Loved it back then and never new what they looked like .

My ancestors, Cherokee, came from Rapides Parish, Louisiana - Redbone Nation. Thanks guys!

Jamel another song with a great Motown feel and sound is Someday from redbone your going to love it. Love your channel brother 🙂

I was 11 years old when this song came out and I still love it. After a day of running around outside I had to set an alarm clock not to miss this performance. Love the shirts. P.S. Being a good person is not hard to do.

That turned into a fun little sing-a-long! I was doing those "hey-ey"s right along with you. Jamel, you should see how they react to the live Midnight Special performance of "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. You wouldn't have to have headphones on that one. Only problem is it might leave them speechless!🤣💙

You guys are a trip and a 1/2. Loved your "feel good" reaction to this jammin' song. Thanks for keeping great music alive!!!!!!!

I love the interaction between you and your brothers! You guys make me smile. Lots of fun and good music. Keep the videos coming. 🎶 🙂

Love to see you with your brothers! This song brings me Way back! Can't not LOVE it! And...who can resist shouting the 'Hey, Hey' part!!

I love the beginning of the live version of this song!

This song hit the top 5 on the Billboards Hot 100. Luv this Throwbackness song!

Red Power through & through 🇺🇸👍 Native Pride.

The guy dancing is doing the men's Northern style fancy dance, I'm Native American and I'm a women's southern traditional dancer. I'm Diegueno from the Kumeyaay Nation. When I was a sophomore in high school my aunt took me to one of their concerts, it was awesome. And yes, Redbone is their actual last name. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The midnight special was hosted by Wolfman Jack

Wow man! This song was the jamm. I could listen to this forever. It never gets old. I remember when it first came out.... Love it!🔥🔥😎✌️

Redbone is *THE BOMB* !!!!

Dude love you guys tune into Jamal everyday y'all keep up the good work and God bless you peace and love

I could watch this over and over, and I do. Love the song, love Redbone, love Lolly (RIP) but this is the best version because you three are having such a good time. This is my go-to, to lift my spirits xxx

My 9 year old grandson knows this song. He plays games on the computer and a lot of them use old tunes. I hope he gains as much of an appreciation of these classics as you guys. Not everything in past decades were great, but that was my era for sure! My husband and my dad make up their own words too lol

I love the commercial that comes out during Christmas with this song.😊🥰

LOVE THIS SONG❣‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

The song came out in 1974 when I was 11 and my brother had just been born. Yep

This is one of the truly rarest of gems.....a song that makes you truly soul deep happy. Thank you for posting this. I really needed this one today!!

I remember hearing in three radio when this first came out and where I was. I was about 4 or 5 years old sitting in the back seat while my mom and her friend were driving to the beach. Upfront was a picnic basket with sandwiches, snacks and a Tupperware jug with orange juice and vodka for the ladies.

Awe this is great :) Great to see your brothers react to this classic song Cheers!

Los amo. Hermoso trabajo..

The song is possibly older than all three of them combined and it is still hitting their soul.

This song is an all time favorite. Love Redbone!

Omg your Singing is precious totally precious love it

Beautiful family my friend! Thank you for sharing!!✌

Takes me back to 1974!!! Thank you for sharing. I love when you have your brothers on here too. Have a great day all.

Jamel, I love this song. You raggen on your brother is so funny.💕✌️

Redbone: We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee, listen to that one!

Love the way you guys get down and into this song! I was a 60’s 70’s kid. I was born in the mid 50’s and was able to truly able to enjoy 2 decades of music growing up. I’m so glad I had 2 full decades of the greatest music ever!

Saw them in concert. A great concert and to see their pride in their heritage.

The best Redbone is so precious❤❤

I remember totally flipping out when this was used for the opening scene in GOTG. I always loved this song it made me so happy.

I remember watching this when I was a little girl

The 3 of are such a Treat in a day!!! Keep on lovin’ on the music that so many of us were fortunate enough to live in, & Now get to watch the Sealed Deal that it will Never be forgotten!!!🥰😘

Nothing better than brotherly love sharing Come and get your love, warms my heart:))

"On the midnight RuuUuuuunNn!" I'M CACKLING, bro is a funny man 😂😂😂

Being Native to the Texas region, I am mixed Mexican and Indigenous from the Texas region, literally my family has lived here from day one. Indigenous in every way. That is what Redbone is to me, my people and a big hit from the day, I am that old too. This was a perfect band for me as a kid.

And we have the brothers all together. Loved it. Singin. 🎉 🎵 and 🕺🏾 dancin. ❤️❤️✨

Had the Feeling of this song in my head for decades. I had heard it when it was first released, and forgot it! How? I don't know, but I am so grateful to hear it again. I have no words to tell you how precious this song is for me.

Jamel- remember- Focus “Hocus Pocus.” 😆. ❤️💙👍✌️

What is better than a reaction with Jamal? A reaction with Jamal and his brothers. Great reaction. It made me smile.

I watched the midnight special every week. I was actually watching it while in the hospital giving birth. I really enjoyed this reaction. You 3 are fun to watch.

Midnight Special was like the first show to be on when they finally stopped turning off TV at freakin' midnight. We LOVED IT.

Redbone! It has been decades since I actually thought of the most important part of this band’s history…thank you for reminding us. I not only appreciate you ; I see you ! Thank you(again)

¿Que como Bato? It's 4:25 come and get your love. No worries itzall good 'ay. Thank you Brother Jamal for featuring this song Twice. I already told ypu the whole story of my young life regarding this song. Will always always dig this jam. As an Indigenous woman I sure appreciate you doing this 8n Honour Dignity Respect and Love for alllll The Indigenous People of Turtle Island ❤❤❤❤
