Redbone was an amazing Native American band that traveled around the world! Lolly and Pat Vegas also wrote songs for many artists. Jimmy Hendrix said that Lolly Vegas was one of the best guitar players he'd ever heard! Before Redbone Lolly and Pat Vegas played the clubs on the Sunset Strip!

Here's a little factoid; the Dance done at the beginning by the Native American brother is a special dance that he had to study for years under the direction of his tribal leaders and only he can perform it with their full approval and permission once he perfected the art of this particular dance. This was a special visual treat we got to see today!

Gentlemen, this song blew up in 1974. We sang and danced to this like crazy. It sounds like there is a little R & B built in. So cool!

Redbone is the only Native band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

This was an extremely popular song and group in the 70's, love it. It's also the intro to Guardians of the Galaxy!

this got a revival when it was used in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. great band!

Take note - this is LIVE!!! And it's a 4-man band producing a MONSTER sound!!! This is REAL musicianship - songwriting and performing. Not like the trash today.

We won't ever have music as cool as these guys did back then.

This song never gets old!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵💓💓💓

Holy shit. I’ve heard this song hundreds of times in my life and I never knew who the band was or sang. Never expected it to be a Native American band. This is amazing!

"Midnight Special" and "In Concert" were staples of every weekend late night viewing. They showcased all the great bands from that era!

Saw Redbone in concert in the 70s in Vancouver. Glad you decided to check them out.

Great song back in childhood. Love this one.

I loved this song. ❤️. But who can't ignore how cute these guys are 🥰🥰

Amazing Native American (redbone ) band, loved the song since it debut in 1974. I was in high school then. I am a multiracial Native American “Apache, Spaniard, Mexican proud of my roots.

Blackfoot was another great Native American band....You should react to their song "Train Train".

back then AM radio was better than FM radio. i used to listen to this and as soon as it went off i would furiously turn the radio dial to try and find it again! it is such a great song!

Probably the most famous Native American band.

Thanks, kids! Redbone were "Indigenous people"... they featured their heritage in this live performance... everyone was blown away - it was a popular radio song at the time.. but most of didn't know anything about them... Love it!

This band was so underrated, as are alot of other talented Native Americans like Robbie Robertson (The Band), Rita Coolidge, Carlos Nakai, A Tribe Called Red, etc. For more cultural diversity check out The Hu, Mongolian throat singers (official video of either Yuve Yuve Yu or Wolf Totem) 🎶🎵💚

I was 10 when that song was on the radio. I loved it then and I love it now.

Thank you for playing one of my requests. I believe the drummer still lives in Southern California. Please play “Whipping Post” by the Allman Brothers.

my 1st posting to CartierFamily channel. You guys teamwork and chemistry rock. thanks for months of laughs as you experience my 80's/ 90s generation

They were such a fun band. Wish we would have heard much more from them and more like them! There are a lot of stellar performances from The Midnight Special.

This always reminds me of the movie “Guardians of the Galaxy” which has a fabulous soundtrack!

Yeah I remember this was a big hit back in the 70’s, listening to this song brings nice memories of my childhood .

I remember as a kid in the 70s nearly everyone I knew had Redbone's Wovoka album. Great band.

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!!!

The Indigenous flavour to this song was always there but it took me a long time to understand why this song was significant.

This was another 70s hit! The 70s to me - was the greatest decade of music!

Love this song. Classic Rock!

I was born in ‘61, so I was privileged to grow up with ‘70’s and ‘80’s music…I love reliving the music of my youth through your eyes. Love your channel!!!🖖🏻🇨🇦

This song was the cut back in the day, one of my favorites, you would have to hear the 45 single to really get into the song. Them singing it live was good but the 45 single was happening with some mad beats and funky rhythm back then. Yeah the single audio version would have been great to listen to, although it was also great to see them again on you guys KZfaq channel.

This was the first ever hit on the billboard hot 100 by a Native American artist.

Redbone......unreal, you guys are awesome!

I love watching yall's reactions. It's refreshing seeing younger people giving all genres of music a listen to and sharing with everybody. I've got so many good suggestions for ya'll, but for now I'll just say you gotta do Bob Seger. Start out with "Her Strut". I'm sure you will like it and from there you'll find more of his great music.

😍💕 Y'all are exactly right! We are all mutts 😆 My mom's, mom was a🏵 Sioux native American woman who married an Irishman 🍀and they had my mama.. My dad's grand-dad was Italian, Greek and Turkish, and his grandmother was 100% Italian. They moved to America, from 🇮🇹 Italy with my dad's dad and my grandmother was 100% Greek 🇬🇷. It took all those people and all those cultures to make me..An American mutt 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

One of the drummers was Makah (Pete DePoe) he's a real cool guy.. so proud of a fellow Makah

This is also on the movie, Guardians of the Galaxy with other feel good songs.

Theses guys had some great Albums. Discovered them like a lot of people when GOTG 1 came out. Their albums Message on a drum and Wovoka are worth your time.

Midnight Special had the most popular bands play live on it every Friday night. For many of us that lived in states that didn't have many concerts this was our way to see our favorite bands play live. You could do a deep dive on judt the Midnight Special. So much great music!

Music can unite us all crossing races, nation, faiths and ages.

Guardians of the Galaxy.

Lovely nod to their heritage. I was in HS when this song came out. Everyone hit the dance floor and had a GREAT time.

So proud of ya'll! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

Great song from a great group...Thanks for checking it out!!!

It's awesome that you guys heard of Redbone I grew up listening to them! They toured Europe and the world. the first Native Americana to go around the world! I'm Native American,Navajo they were our inspiration growing and to be renown is awesome 🤘😎

Thank you guys for doing these old songs and digging it. 😊❤👏👏👏😊

More 70s classics guys!!

Before MTV(when MTV actually played music) this is what we would watch. I remember trying to be home in time to watch "Midnight Special". Lots of great music!

At first I thought it was a black band this is my first time seeing the actual band this song is great.

Been on the playlist since the 70’s - such a fun song! Thanks

One of my favorites from my youth! Super cool!🎶👊

I found you guys a few months ago and I've watched hours of your videos. I absolutely love all of your personalities~! I love how open you are to learning about other music and various videos. You have great attitudes as you converse about the videos you watch... I just think you're awesome~! There was only one thing wrong... lol... I wanted to tell you about "Black Betty" so bad... I couldn't wait... it was one of my favorite songs when I was in school... and then I saw your video on it... lol. I'm so glad you liked it. I've spent my whole life being a vocalist and sang in bands as well as opened for some bands that were popular when I was young that still tour sometimes. I've thought of so many songs to tell you about but someone has already beat me to the punch. LOL and you've already heard them. Sooooooo, I'm really thinking hard on what to ask you listen to.... you'll be hearing from me when I figure it out.. 😊I think it's cool that some of your audience is older also. Just goes to show you that you're good with people! You are all cute, witty, funny and most of all you have good hearts... it really shows! Keep up the good work! By the way, I was wondering if you had ever gone live and let your audience ask questions about you or have you shared about yourselves a little bit and I just haven't caught that video yet? I think that would be fun! Oh, by the way, I'm from Oklahoma~! 😍😉

This song was all over the radio when I was young. Pretty damn catchy.

Oh!!! I have another really good one from Charlie Daniel's band. It tells a story. The wooly Swamp. Album edition, the song you're listening to is from the opening of Gardians of the Galaxy movie.

This was even more significant, because native dances were illegal in the US until The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978

much love thanks for featuring Pat n Lolly Vegas my uncles..!

First guitar *Power Chord* (1958) was invented by Native American *Link Wray* . Used by ALL Hard Rock and Punk Bands today - his most famous *song without words* was banned from radio in fear teens would riot after hearing it. Highly recommend reacting to this Instrumental Rock Song: *Rumble* ~ *Link Wray - Rumble - 11/19/1974* ~

The dance at the beginning is called "fancy dance."

Loved this song. They performed this song on the navajo reservation throughout the northern arizona. I saw them performed in person. They were awesome. Glad they are still remembered all these years. Stay safe.❤😊

🦋 as many times as I heard the music I did not know the following- Redbone is an American rock band founded in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All band members during their commercial peak were of Mexican American and Native American heritage, which was reflected in their songs, stage costumes, and album art.

I was trying to tell my kids about this song. They are early In their twenties. thanks for the video! I'm definitely a must too🤗

It's the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy" When Peter Quill was finding the Infinity stone

Love love love this song!!!!!

This song takes me bk, I love!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Please play Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Sheppard!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Its my 2nd fav song 🥰

I used to be a bartender for a "Cowboy and Indian " bar in New Mexico near Shiprock Rezervation. One older gentleman used to promote shows and knew all the early stars when they were young. He had great Redbone stories. That was a fun job.

Love your channel, young people having a good time✊❤️

Hell yeah!!! Proud of my native people!!!💞❣️

I am 73 years old I danced at the disco clubs dancing to thissong and others! Talk about a blast from the past! Judging from you guys dancing to them from the seats, now you know what it was like for us! Great song, I wasin my early 20's when it came out. Thanks for the memories by playing it! 🙋🌹

YES!!!!! So glad that you reacted to this classic!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Oh, now I realize you already did it (posted a comment on your FB pg. yesterday) - perfect! This was an important cultural moment + Redbone rules :) - this is my other top fave Redbone track; maybe you'll cover it too - watch for the "jump" they do at one point :)

These are my peoples haha I loved how y'all were jamming at the powwow demonstration at the beginning! I am Dakota FYI :)

Oh man! Keeps me back. It’s on my iTunes playlist

Good one guys. These guys did a show at my high school in 1969 , yeah, I’m old as dirt!

You may recognize this song because it was in one of the Guardians of the galaxy movies. Star Lord was listening to it on his cassette player

I see you with those dance moves!

One of my absolute faves!!

This song was the jam,still love it💯💕

Clouds in my Sunshine is also another cool jam. Good reaction. Keep it up
