1983 Toni Basil – Toni Basil
Toni Basil is the second studio album by Toni Basil, released in December 1983 on Chrysalis Records. Despite the success of her previous album Word of Mouth and the single “Mickey”, the album was less successful and did not enter the Billboard album chart. The first single from the album, “Over My Head”, reached #81 on the Billboard Hot 100, her third and final song to do so. Of the four singles from the album, three appeared on various charts in the US.
