Year : 1966
Style : Northern Soul, Psychedelic, Art-House Short Movie, Uncensored Video
Quality : DVDrip
Duration : 5 min 08 sec
"We've wondered what the first music video featuring artist nudity was. As near as I can figure, this must be it.
Toni Basil is a woman of many talents. She's been an actress (including a nude turn in the classic Easy Rider), dancer, choreographer (including the Frankie & Annette beach movies and the Monkees film Head), video artist, and sometimes she sings. With the singing, she's best known for her 1982 #1 single, "Mickey".
In 1966, using her full name (Antonia Christina Basilotta) she recorded a song called "Breakaway", with underground filmmaker Bruce Conner directing a short 16mm film of it. It's been called the first music video. It would then have to be the first music video featuring full frontal nudity by the singer."
