Redbone
The L.A. Times is reporting:
Lolly Vegas, 70, the lead singer and guitarist for Redbone, a Native American rock band that had a million-selling hit in 1974 with the bouncy “Come and Get Your Love,” died in his sleep Thursday at his home in Reseda.
He had lung cancer and had been in poor health since suffering a stroke 15 years ago, said the band’s manager, Michael Stone.
Redbone rode the tight, driving style of “Come and Get Your Love” to No. 5 on Billboard’s pop singles chart, but most of the band’s songs had less of a dance feel and more of a swamp-rock sound. The band first gained notice with “Maggie” in 1970 and “The Witch Queen of New Orleans” in 1971.

As one of RebBone fans in France, I learned with great sadness that Lolly passed away and I want to assure his family of my deepest condolences.
He will be remembered.
Mitakuye Oyas’in.

Sorry about Lolly, he was a awesome guitar and sitar player.
I still have the Cd of Redbone from back in the 70’s.
