Stevie Wonder was a political lighting rod during 1985, and most of it was tied to politics in a**ther nation: The pianist was arrested during a South African Apartheid protest outside of Congress and later would dedicate his Best Original Song Oscar (which he won for "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from The Woman in Red) to Nelson Mandela, who remained imprisoned at Pollsmoor Prison. That action led the South African government to ban all of Wonder's music across the board. He wasn't the first musician to deal with censorship from the para**id Apartheid government however. Here are five Other acts, including Pink Floyd and The Beatles, that got banned.
