Redbone is an American funk rock band founded in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All band members during their commercial peak were of Mexican American and Native American heritage, which was reflected in their songs, stage costumes, and album art.

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 was certified Gold selling over a million copies. It also 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", and "Wovoka", in the United States, although these singles were more successful overseas.

Redbone consisted of Lolly Vegas ( lead guitar and lead vocals) brother Pat Vegas (bass guitar and vocals), Tony Bellamy( guitar and vocals) and Peter DePoe( drums and backing vocals).

On December 25, 2009, Tony Bellamy died of liver failure at a hospital in his hometown of Las Vegas, at age 63. Less than three months later, Lolly Vegas died of lung cancer at his family home in Reseda, California, on March 4, 2010, at age 70.

Pat Vegas the sole remaining member continues to tour in the United States and Canada in support of his solo albums, "Ambergris", "Peacepip", and "Speed of Sound". He also is part of a touring version of Redbone that plays both his solo efforts and the hits from the band's heyday.
