The smash hit "Come and Get Your Love" was done by a band of Native Americans, a group that performs in headresses and other Native American garb. Their name, Redbone, denotes mixed ancestry, and the band members were of mixed ancestry. One of their songs, "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee," carries the message that what happened at that great massacre of Native Americans wounded humanity as a whole.
The story behind Redbone and "Come and Get Your Love," then, is an interesting one.
