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!
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!
Jimi himself had Cherokee blood lines from his Mom's side. Jimi encouraged Lolly to form a Native American band as well, and in fact suggested the name Redbone (Lolly's nickname). Great stuff ✌🏽
Check out Durand Jones and Thee Indications, Thee Sacred Souls, Monophonics, Thee Sinseers, etc cause there's a whole lot of bands coming out with that soul sound!
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!
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.
I don't remember if they did. I'm 70 now and I saw them way back in 1975. Come and get your love was a big hit for them at the time and they were the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad.
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!
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!
😂 Yes! We had to do what we had to do, mostly on hope. Luckily when a song was still hot it was being played somewhere, until the next new thing. Then it was waiting on a one of lists, maybe an hour before it was played again, then a few times a day.
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.
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) 🎶🎵💚
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.
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!!!🖖🏻🇨🇦
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.
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!!!
😍💕 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 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My dad used to tell us we were all mongrels, didn’t understand it then, but now I do as I am made up of a similar mixture👍 have Irish & Italian, but to have Native American, that’s special✊❤️
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 CZcams channel.
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.
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.
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 🤘😎
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!
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!
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* ~
🦋 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.
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.❤😊
@@waynecanning4122 Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. I was about 6 yrs old when I 1st heard my Momma play the record n I'd have her play it over n over again. Lol As I got older it never left my mind not only bcuz I still loved it but bcuz of diff sentimental reasons 🥺💗
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.
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.
Alright guys I have one for you. The song is Hallelujah by Pentatonix. Has 700 million views. Mitch, the guy with the hat, goes angel mode. You won’t regret it I promise
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~! 😍😉
I agree, Annie! I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I love seeing these young men appreciating all kinds of music. You are all fun to watch and I love your comments! Thanks!
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! 🙋🌹
So, I came across Cartier Family one way or the other, and I am glad I did! I am binging all of your videos and I love yall! Not sure if you all have heard of Hall and Oates, Lisa Stansfield and Jane Child, check them out. They are classic soulful white singers! Y'all are welcome!
I saw this on TV on the Midnight Special when it first appeared. At first, I didn't appreciate the term Mutt, but then I remembered that mixed breeds are healthier because of that reason, appreciate your posts. Thank you from an Aztec.
I remember dancing to this song when I was 13! Still love it! LOL I'd like to see y'all react to Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. One of my favorites! I love watching y'all!
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!
Nope. Pure Native rhythm. 😊

Wow that is so interesting , I loved that dance at beginning
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!
I agree, they are often underrated both as a band and musicians! Amazing group!
Jimi was being Jimi. ..... He's said a LOT of gutarits are the best he'd ever heard. Not a bad thing, but taake it with a grain of salt.
But we love them for their r and b?
Jimi himself had Cherokee blood lines from his Mom's side. Jimi encouraged Lolly to form a Native American band as well, and in fact suggested the name Redbone (Lolly's nickname). Great stuff ✌🏽
The band was Mexican American (with indigenous roots), and Native American
this got a revival when it was used in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. great band!
It’s also the song that Quill is dancing to in Avengers Endgame.
their song was on kev costners movie the postman too
@@Julia-jm4yy Because that scene was based on the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 1.
This was an extremely popular song and group in the 70's, love it. It's also the intro to Guardians of the Galaxy!
Redbone is the only Native band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
We won't ever have music as cool as these guys did back then.
I remember watching this live the night it aired. It was uniquely different and catchy.
“Ever” my guy
@@SMychal25 thanks for bringing that to my attention. I speak into my phone instead of typing and sometimes it mishears. Peace!
Not if me and my Native American cousins got something to do about
Check out Durand Jones and Thee Indications, Thee Sacred Souls, Monophonics, Thee Sinseers, etc cause there's a whole lot of bands coming out with that soul sound!
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!
Me too
This song never gets old!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵💓💓💓
❤
"Midnight Special" and "In Concert" were staples of every weekend late night viewing. They showcased all the great bands from that era!
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.
Saw Redbone in concert in the 70s in Vancouver. Glad you decided to check them out.
I'm jealous!!
that's awesome, do you remember if they did the tribal song and dance during your show like they did in the intro of this video?
I don't remember if they did. I'm 70 now and I saw them way back in 1975. Come and get your love was a big hit for them at the time and they were the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad.

I loved this song. ❤️. But who can't ignore how cute these guys are 🥰🥰
We are from the Winnebago tribe my mom said they are so good looking!!!!
@@kassandrariemersma7902 I'm from quileute tribe
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!
😂 Yes! We had to do what we had to do, mostly on hope. Luckily when a song was still hot it was being played somewhere, until the next new thing. Then it was waiting on a one of lists, maybe an hour before it was played again, then a few times a day.
TRUE!
Great song back in childhood. Love this one.
Blackfoot was another great Native American band....You should react to their song "Train Train".
Yup.
Overlooked them and Link Wray in my comment. Too many talented Native American musicians to mention 💚
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.
The Indigenous flavour to this song was always there but it took me a long time to understand why this song was significant.
I was 10 when that song was on the radio. I loved it then and I love it now.
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) 🎶🎵💚
Love this song. Classic Rock!
I remember as a kid in the 70s nearly everyone I knew had Redbone's Wovoka album.
Great band.
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.
Yeah I remember this was a big hit back in the 70’s, listening to this song brings nice memories of my childhood .
Probably the most famous Native American band.
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
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!!!🖖🏻🇨🇦

I was just going to post the same thing. ✌🏽
Well...that's debatable. Plains Natives had fancy dance right across but ok.
This always reminds me of the movie “Guardians of the Galaxy” which has a fabulous soundtrack!
This was another 70s hit! The 70s to me - was the greatest decade of music!
Lovely nod to their heritage. I was in HS when this song came out. Everyone hit the dance floor and had a GREAT time.
😍💕
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
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Mutts are the most LOYAL companions.👍🏻☮️
@@olly8 No doubt 🔥🔥
My dad used to tell us we were all mongrels, didn’t understand it then, but now I do as I am made up of a similar mixture👍 have Irish & Italian, but to have Native American, that’s special✊❤️
This was the first ever hit on the billboard hot 100 by a Native American artist.
Wrong
Redbone......unreal, you guys are awesome!
Music can unite us all crossing races, nation, faiths and ages.
Guardians of the Galaxy.

Aheheé sister!
My grandmother was our last full blood Navajo in the family, she died 2 years ago. I’m trying to learn the language to honor her 🙏🏽
At first I thought it was a black band this is my first time seeing the actual band this song is great.
Great song from a great group...Thanks for checking it out!!!
More 70s classics guys!!
Thank you guys for doing these old songs and digging it. 😊❤👏👏👏😊
The dance at the beginning is called "fancy dance."
So proud of ya'll! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

It's the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy" When Peter Quill was finding the Infinity stone
This song was all over the radio when I was young. Pretty damn catchy.
This was even more significant, because native dances were illegal in the US until The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978
Been on the playlist since the 70’s - such a fun song! Thanks

Good one guys. These guys did a show at my high school in 1969 , yeah, I’m old as dirt!
I Remember they were on American Bandstand when I was about 10 in 1974.
