I vividly remember seeing an interview with her on Much Music in early December 1987 (maybe the 7th) where she premiered her first video, Troy.

They cued the video and it was also like nothing I had ever seen or heard before: I was immediately hooked. After the video, the entire studio (of off camera Much Music employees) burst into spontaneous applause which is something I have never seen after playing a video.
