“Come and Get Your Love” is a song by rock band Redbone. The song was originally released as a promo track under the name “Hail” and was later featured on the 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. It made them the first Native American band to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 5. The song later appeared on many “greatest hits” albums released by the band, as well as on numerous compilation albums of the 1970s. A music video was released in 2020.
The single cut is significantly shorter, with the album version featuring an introductory slow part, plus a longer repeated coda. Most radio stations rarely play the latter. The song features a prominent part for electric sitar. A shorter DJ re-service edit of the single version is mainly distinguished by a doubled lead vocal.
The song peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on April 13, 1974. It spent 18 weeks in the Top 40 and landed as the fourth-most popular song on the Hot 100 for 1974. The single was certified gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1974, which indicates that it had shipped over a half-million copies in North America. 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 number 21 in 1972.)
