Redbone
Redbone is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All members during their commercial peak were of Chicano and Native American heritage, something heavily reflected in their songs, stage regalia, and album art.
They made the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1974 with "Come and Get Your Love". The single was certified gold, selling over a million copies. With this achievement Redbone became the first Native American band to have such success, with the song reaching number 5. Redbone got additional notice in America with the singles "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", "Wovoka", and "Maggie", although these were more successful overseas.
Pat has been the sole consistent member of the band since Lolly's death in 2010.
