- Had a hit single in the early eighties with the song "Mickey".
- Graduated Las Vegas High School, Las Vegas NV.
- Her song "Micky" was parodied by by "Weird" Al Yankovic. The song was entitled "Ricky" and it pertained to the sitcom "I Love Lucy". Ironically, the original title of the Basil song was "Ricky", she changed it to "Micky" while recording.
- "Breakaway" was a well known tune played on the Northern Soul scene in the UK, and has become very collectable on the original label. It is still being spun on the decks by Northern Soul DJs to this day.
- Was head cheerleader at Las Vegas High School and wears her actual varsity uniform from those days in the "Mickey" video.
- Her video for the single "Mickey" was the first to incorporate synchronized dancing. The opening stunt, where a cheerleader jumps through the center of a human pyramid, is now illegal in competition.
- Was a member of the very first locking group, "The Original Lockers," in the early 70s. Fred Berry, "Rerun" of "What's Happening!!", was also a member.
- She choreographed the music video for "Beast of Burden" with Bette Midler and Mick Jagger.
