Ear worms and One Hit Wonders | REDBONE - Come and Get Your Love 1974

   . . . . again I expect you have this playing somewhere in the back of your mind’s eye  . . . . . ear? You know the jukebox in the back of your head!

go on! CLICK IT!


Redbone were a Native American rock band. They reached the Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with their single, "Come and Get Your Love". The single went certified Gold selling over a million copies. It made Redbone the first Native American band to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, with the song reaching number 5.
Redbone achieved hits with their singles "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", "Wovoka", and "Maggie" in the United States, although these singles were more successful overseas!!!

Witch Queen prolly makes for a second hit wonder but they didn’t;t really chart after this and dididnt chart with this inter homeland (sic) with any!
