Sadly Tony Bellamy of Redbone fame crossed over on Christmas day to the chagrin and sorrow of friends, family and fans. Tony leaves this Earth with a legacy of greatness filled with accomplishments as he and the Redbone Band forged a trail for other world class Indigenous artists to follow. With classics such as “Come And Get Your Love” he will not be soon forgotten. He leaves a void within the music world that will be hard to fill. This ground breaking artist will sorely be missed by music lovers from all cultures including myself.

Since within the Native culture we both reside we know there is no such thing as death. It is obvious he has moved on to the land of our ancestors. Though his departure is met with great sorrow it is heartening to know he will continue to perform in the land of the Creator and someday we will all be blessed with his talent once again.

My prayers are for his family and the boys of Redbone for their loss is beyond words.

Farewell T-Bone
