As great as she is, I don't understand why she isn't a judge on one of these reality dance shows like "So, You Think You Can Dance"? She's such an icon she really should be a judge. She's done it all!!
I could not believe that Fred ReRun Berry at his weight could do knee drops, flips etc. I could not come close to doing those moves at a normal weight... there are several moves that I love to see done and one of my favorites is the WHICHAWAY. When ever anyone performs on stage and goes into the WhichaWay, the crowd goes crazy.. this is a great video, I love to hear Toni give us history and insight from back when it all started . There are only 3 original Lockers LEFT. TONI BASIL, SLIM THE ROBOT WILLIAMS, AND FLUKY LUKE WILLIAMSON. 4 if you count Tony GoGo Lewis who filled in with the group, and joined when afew of the others left to pursue other career paths. I know there were others who also filled in with the LOCKERS , like the Original Skeeter Rabbit Higgins in 1974 went on the Frank Sinatra tour as a Locker( not the Electric Boogaloos Skeeter Rabbit RIP). And Scooby Doo Foster . There were so many OG'S THAT TOOK DON CAMPBELLS DANCE, AND POURED THEIR OWN FLAVOR INTO IT ADDING SIGNATURE MOVES LIKE THE SKEETER RABBIT, AND SCOOBY DOO. TONY GOGO ALSO TOOK DON'S DANCE AND PUT TOGETHER THE FIRST LOCKING CREW( THE GOGO BROTHERS) IN AROUND 1971 . BEFORE DON PUT TOGETHER THE LOCKERS. BUT IT ALL GOES BACK TO THAT ONE MAN DON CAMPBELL RIP MASTER LOCKER..
@@RetroReminiscing I've seen it happen. A Ballroom dancing event and 1 couple had just elevated to A grade, their first competition at that level. In this event they were up against 3 State Champions and the National Champion. The guy suddenly developed a very bad leg sprain. I don't blame him, I would have done the same. Anyone going up against a couple containing Toni Basil may as well sit down, they haven't got a prayer. :)
Hi Joni, the song Toni is dancing to after the intro is called : Its house music.(feel it mix) by Lady Alma . I hope that helps ... Have a great afternoon and thank you for stopping by! Sonique x
A bit too much botox there 😬 almost get the feeling that she cant smile, no elasticity in the face. It's a shame to me, like Cher and Jackie Stallone. Great Artist though ❤
It is a shame, I agree... I think that these days there is so much fear of possible humiliation if to be seen by paperazzi, that more and more women (and men) are turning to plastic surgery and botox instead of growing old gracefully.... (or maybe they are just vain) ...lol...who knows! But i certainly get your point! Have a great wednesday Tony
@@sharondianneb I agree that her facial bone structure and features do ressemble her earlier youthful face still... I would be petrified of having anything done myself! lol..I am a needle wimp ha ha x

She would be ideal! You're spot on Alyson, she would be perfect!

True. But then again
