Artist:Redbone ( 1974)

Website:http://www.leobennink.nl


This is also a tribute to Redbone, one of the best and legendary cajun rock r&b bands from the 70th's best known for their hits like;
We were all wounded at wounded knee,
Maggie,and the witch queen of new orleans and a lot of other great songs.Right from the start in the early 70th's i was a big fan,and their music had a great influence on my way of makin music through the years !A-specially Pete de Poe and his way of drummin was something i never had heard before, together with the great talent of composing by Pat and Lolly Vegas, filled with the great guitar licks and voice of Tony bellamy, made them one of the best and outstanding bands from that area.I also want to wish the best to Lolly Vegas and Tony Bellamy who suffer from illness, and i hope ( together
with many other dutch fans) that they
will quickly recover and get back on that stage !!!! Best of wishes, Leo dihl & abby Bennink and robbie vd herp big chiefs
from the red feet indians.

Leo & Dihl Bennink have a long musical history behind them,both were members of two famous Dutch groups in the sixties Dihl(Tee Set)
Leo(The Motions)in 1996 they got the idea to join together and started the legendary guitar group The Black Albinos with Hoss on fenderbass,
It makes this band a true time capsule of one of the best guitar talents/bands in this world around.

Leo began as a guitar-player in 1959 with the Indo-Rock groups THE REAL RHYTHM TEENS and THE ROCKING SENSATION BOYS. In 1962 (17 years old) he started a professional career as a member of THE TWANGIES and he played for several years in Western Germa­ny. His last contract in Germany was with THE REBELS, in which he met drummer Leo Kappé. Back in Holland he played guitar in such guitar-groups as RENE & ALLIGATORS, THE SPECIALS, THE SPECIAL FIVE and THE BLACK ALBINO'S. With THE SPECIAL FIVE he recorded Silly Silly and it's his most remembered instru­men­tal. At that time Leo also was the first guit­arist in Holland, who could play all the Mosrite stuff from Nokie Edwards. In 1966 his career got a lift when he was a member of Dutch beat groups as THE JAY JAYS and THE MOTIONS. For THE JAY JAYS LP he also recorded Cruncher (from Ventures LP Surfing). With THE MOTIONS he toured all over Europe and even did concerts is the USA together with ERIC BURDON, FRANK ZAPPA, ALICE COOPER and THE MONKEES. In 1991 he was a member of the 'new' JUMPING JEWELS and a single was recorded for CNR with Hot Samba (written by Leo Bennink) and Dakota. Also released in Japan on CD (Sound Of Euro Instro/ CENTURY) together with a third track Africa. Leo is a real Strat-man, but in the mid-sixties he used his own build guitar 'Maserati' with 6 pick-ups and silver scratchplate. Since 6 years has Bennink a musicschool at home and he's teaching guitar, bass and keyboard and he's also producing modern r&b with new talents.

Dear Lord, why all of the arguing and pissing about whether these guys are full-blood Native American or not...or if it's red+white, red+brown, red+black, or even red+yellow. People don't have anything better to do than to argue and insult each other over this? Bottom line, these guys had an awesome band going on back in the day. I saw them in concert in '72 and they brought the house down with this tune. FOCUS ON THE GOOD STUFF PEOPLE AND STOP YOUR LAME ASS QUIBBLING!!

Hey, Bro's, I am Chicano-Chiricahua Apache. These bro's were probably mixed blood. Unless a person grew up on a rez and never left the rez chances are the person is mixed blood native-american. A Full-blooded native is slowly disapperaring. Native-Americans are marrying outside the tribal traditions. I am an example of this and probably were the brothers from" REDBONE". You want to learn more about the Native-Americans consider checking-out powwow's. Everyone welcomed! Miguel , Mendota,CA.

@SkidRowJosephine Dude, I don't know where you get off showing everyone on youtube just how ignorant you are with your incessant name-calling, not to mention the fact that I did not get locked-up in the argument over their cultural heritage...READ MY POST! All I said was that it was stupid to have such arguments because the band was awesome regardless. I don't give two shits WHERE they were born, or what their last names are. It is YOU who cannot process what you are reading...YOU DUMB FUCK!

@SilverHamer Dear Lord, why all of the arguing and pissing about whether these guys are full-blood Native American or not...or if it's red+white, red+brown, red+black, or even red+yellow

Because they either have Mexican/Spanish or Italian surnames, their last name was Vasquez/Bellamy you dumb fuck.

They were born in East Los Angeles, CA. and - you dumb fuck.

Last time I checked East Los Angeles, CA was full of Chicanos, you dumb fuck.

East L.A. is not an injun reservation - dumb fuck.
