For Thanksgiving , I'd like to honor some Native American Rockers, some of whom were snubbed in the film "Rumble".
Link Wray and his Brothers and bandmates , Doug Wray and Vernon Ray (aka Ray Vernon.).
Marvin Rainwater.
Jan Savage from The Seeds .
Buffy Saint - Marie.
Bobcat Catron (27 Devils Joking.).
Leadbelly (Cherokee ancestry).
Pat and Lolly Vegas ( Redbone , previously recorded under their own names.).
Darin Lin Wood ( '68 Comeback , Fireworks. Pottawottamie ancestry.).
Elvis Presley ( His Great- Great Grandmother was a Cherokee. He was declared an honorary Indian (As was Johnny Cash.) , though he would qualify for Native American status , today.
Rick Medlocke (Not a fan ,but he bears the distinction of being the most prominent nonwhite Musician in Southern Rock , barring possibly Jamoe from The Allman Brothers Band, whom I'm also not a fan of.).
Special mention - Charlie Big Snake - Fan and friend of the Dallas Punk scene in The 80's. Super nice guy , rocked a bitchen' , tho' not gratuitous mohawk.
