Redbone (band)

Redbone was an American rock group in the 1970s. The band was formed in Los Angeles, California by the brothers Pat Vegas (bass and vocals) and Lolly Vegas (guitar and vocals), two Native Americans, in 1968. Playing pretty commercial rock music with latin roots, with similiaritations to the likes of Santana and War, they saw their breakthrough with the single Maggy in 1970, and had two other single hits - The Witch-Queen of New Orleans (with its characteristic wao-wao-wao-wao backing vocals) in 1971 and Come and Get Your Love in 1975.

The line-up of Redbone was not constant, but Tony Bellamy (guitar, piano and vocals) was a part of the core.

Now led by Pat Vegas alone (Lolly left in 1995, Tony Bellamy sometimes after that), Redbone is still active.What happened to drummer George Spanos? George and I played together in Detroit in the early 70s. I played bass.
