Come and Get Your Love

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Come and Get Your Love" is the title of a 1974 hit single by the Native American rock band Redbone. The song was written by band member Lolly Vegas and produced by Lolly and his brother Pat Vegas, who was also a band member. It was originally featured on Redbone's album, Wovoka; later the song appeared on many "greatest hits" albums released by the band, as well as on numerous compilation albums of the 70s. The song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April of 1974, and it spent 18 weeks in the Top 40. The single was certified gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1974, which indicates that it had sold over a million copies in the United States. The song is Redbone's highest charting single and one of two Top 40 hits by the band (an earlier recording, "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", peaked at #21 in 1972).

[edit] Real McCoy version

In 1995, the German dance music group Real McCoy released a cover version of the song, which peaked at #19 on the Hot 100. This version also went to #1 on the American dance chart in August of 1995.
