You know that you're getting older when you sit and watch as some of your favorite musical icons age and eventually die. Lolly Vegas, lead singer and co-founder of Redbone died today of cancer. He was 70. Vegas, second from the right, in the picture, wrote and sang the group's biggest hit: "Come And Get Your Love." I played that song thousands of times on AFN Frankfurt. It was one of my favorites. It peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. That was in 1974. Redbone was different. They were a combination of Latino and native American members.

It's rock music the way it should be - people with guitars, singing into microphones!
