"Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone (1973)

Breaking records as the first song by an all-Native American and Mexican-American band to enter
the Billboard Top 10, this song and band combined disco with politics, bringing attention to
native artists and the idea that what you believe is greater than who and where you come from.


The song was originally released as a promo track under the name "Hail" and was later featured on their fifth
album, Wovoka (1973), under its current name. The song was released as the album's first single the following
year. Written and produced by band members Pat and Lolly Vegas, it is one of the band's most successful singles.
