This morning for Vinyl Tap Jill played The Foundations, a British soul band who were the first multi-racial group to have a No. 1 song in the UK. Music always pushes the boundaries and has even helped to breakdown racial barriers.

Let's honor the bands that broke down racial barriers in the way we do best - with music!
