What an amazing accomplished woman this is! She was never recognized For her talent and revolutionizing the hip hop world mixed with dance. She is the original step up girl!! Hat's off to you Toni!!!
I watched this so many times. Brings back memories when I was a kid in Manila back in the early '80s. This song was a big hit and was very popular in parties and high school dances back then.
Toni Basil is PURE GENIUS. A being who was destined to dance and she does it better than anyone else! Rhythm, emotion, LIFE. Toni Basil has it all. BRAVA TONI!!!
By any standard of theatre or dance, this is pure genius. While there are absolutely amazing kids doing brilliant dance moves on the streets, especially in Oakland, there's no contemporary act on the mainstream American scene who can touch this performance. Not even close. Just a stunning routine, flawlessly executed, and she's singing live! This is high art, nothing less.
Can you imagine she was 40 years old when she did this? She sang live and did all that dancing and turns precisely. This performance is very underrated.
Always one of my favourite singer/dancers. She is awesome. As someone has said, she was around 40 years of age making those songs in the 80's. (and she still looks gorgeous)
Only Can say.. SHE IS REALLY AMAZING!! Reminds me so much KatE BusH in England...Toni in USA. One best as singer the another one Best as singer!! But Both Complete and Real ARTISTS
Just watched "So You Think You Can Dance" episode. One of the dancers who was auditioning was compared to Toni Basil. When the dancer heard that she told the judge that she had studied dance with Toni. So even though
She was singing LIVE and dancing ballet with modern dance at the same time. Oh my goodness!
This was SOOOO ahead of it's time. Toni Basil created modern dance.
Back then, she danced her ass off, sang live, no autotune either. Awesome!

She's a legend. Just because some people don't know who you are doesn't mean you're not the best at your craft.
back in the days when artists can dance and sing live!
her dance move at the very end is awesome!
