Thanks you CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing Come And Get Your Love performed by
Redbone on The Midnight Special in 1974.

"Redbone is a rock band that was formed in Los Angeles in 1969 by two Native American brothers, Pat and Lolly Vegas. Two other Native Americans joined them, Tony Bellamy on rhythm guitar and Pete DePoe on drums. They produced several hit songs including Maggy, The Witch Queen Of New Orleans and Come And Get Your Love, the latter making a comeback as a featured track in the 2014 movie, “Guardians Of The Galaxy.”
"The fact that the musicians were all native Americans from different origins (Cherokee, Yaquis, Apaches and Shoshones...)."
"The name Redbone itself is a Cajun term for a mixed-race person ("half-breed"), the band's members being of mixed blood ancestry. The band referenced Cajun and New Orleans culture many times in their lyrics and performing style (Crazy Cajun Cakewalk Band, Maggie, The witch queen of new Orleans, Poison Ivy...). They also often developed a mystic and religious inspiration, mixing Indian (Chant : 13th Hour, Niji Trance, Liquid Truth...) and Christian cultures (Good Enough for Jesus, Judgement day...)."
