There used to be a mixed-race South African band around that time, too. Can't remember what they were called, I think they amounted to being a one-hit-wonder outside their home territory. Their video was on MuchMusic a LOT, though. Too bad it was part of the whole anti-apartheid propaganda.

And then we had Living Color, which gave us the excellent Cult of Personality.
