[IrisMG]

This is just awesome! Especially that bit with the mother. I remember that album cover at the record stores (back when there were such things.) I bought the 45.

@IrisMG Thanks, Iris. That was my mother, Beatrice. She cracks my up, as she keeps saying the "Redbones". My mom loved all family, and all our family loved her.

If you are viewing this video, please view the video response, by my Youtube friend GIl, or All1Song.

At my request, Gil was nice enough to do a great tribute to Lolly Vegas.

He is also very humble, and thinks it was an honor to do so.

Please honor Gil, by viewing, and rating his video with 5 *****!

Thanks again, Gil.

Hi Frank, my condolences to you and your family.

I'm honored you would ask me to do a cover of Lolly's hit song Come And Get Your Love.

[Abstractstv]

Gil,

I am the one who should be honored! You have done a fantastic cover.

Lolly would be proud, and Pat will be proud. My mom would be proud also. I will dedicate your version to Lolly, and my mom!

Lolly, and mom, I hope you guys are listening!

[All1Song]

Frank I am completely humbled. Thank You so glad you like it.

One of my favorite groups of the 70's. I would request this song, all the time,on the radio. Lolly will be, indeed missed. My condolences goes out to the Vegas family. Thanks, Lolly, for enriching ,my love of music (Especially Rock and Roll) I've always wanted to see the group , live and in concert, but they , from my understanding, never toured south Texas. I heard they had played in Corpus Christi but never around San Antonio. Thank you Lolly and Pat Vegas!!

Lolly Vegas will be buried in Fresno, California, on Tuesday, March 16th, 2010. Lolly and Pat grew up in Fresno.

Rest in Peace, Lolly.

I just found out that this group was pure Native Americans. I love this song and even more so after being able to see it live. Thanks for posting.

[alldaymusicman]

They weren't "pure Native Americans" that's why they called themselves "Redbone", which is slang for someone who is part Native American and anything else. But one thing is for sure, they were one of the best live bands on the planet.

[Abstractstv]

Thanks for the info, crystalbeau. So, Redbone really does have a connection to the Native American.

[crystalbeau]

Pete Depoe grew up on the makah Nations reserve as that is where his parents lived. He moved to hisown home rez later. He played drums for local combos here in Neah Bay... very nice man he was native , from ore.

Cousin Linda, the is Alfonso. Your mom was cousin with Refugio Morales. Cuco was married to my Grandmother Elisa. So dad was cousin to Cuco and obviously son-in-law to Elisa. Cuco was uncle to Pat and Lolly. Pat and Lolly mother was either Petra or Eloisa. Do you remember Tia Belen?
