Herbie Hancock- Rockit- 1983
This music video was a big ground breaker in 1983 as it challenged racial prejudice by showing a black man in the video for the first time on television. In 1983 America's MTV refused to air music videos if they contained black people. However this music video challenged this. It was agreed that it could be played if Herbie Hancock was only in it for minimal time. And so the video contained robotic machines, however time to time you would see Herbie Hancock on one of the television screens . This video helped overcome prejudice and introduce black people into the music industry properley.
