Interview with Lolly Vegas of Redbone

 First the universe came into being, then the Earth cooled, and finally the 1970s happened. The best-selling pop/rock song in the U.S. in 1974, I am told, was "Come and Get Your Love," by a Native American group called Redbone, headed up by Lolly and Pat Vegas, who were from a town near Fresno, California. The version of the song from "Midnight Special" on Youtube is pretty good, I think. I always liked the funkiness of the song. 

In 2006 Lolly Vegas was interviewed. Good to hear his history of his music:

Rest in Peace, Lolly Vegas.
