In this classic footage from 1944, the Ross sisters, Aggie, Maggie and Elmira, sing and contort all over the place. Just think: these ladies are now someone's grandmother. Can your gran do that?

Their actual names were Vicki, Dixie, and Betsy Ross and they originated from Colorado City, Texas. Their song in Picadilly Hayride (Five Minutes More) was later covered by Frank Sinatra. They were summoned to a command performance before the King and Queen of England on Nov. 4, 1946. I have no idea how they came onto the scene in New York (did stage and revues there) or what happened to them afterwards.

These ladies appear in this movie named "Showboat Serenade" in 1944. They also appeared in The Three Stooges short "Gents Without Cents" also from 1944. In both they appeared as 'Lindsay, Laverne & Betty'. Also, this music is used in "The Godfather", when Tom Hagen goes to see Jack Wolz in Hollywood ...

They were GREAT ladies! I should know, Betsy was my mother and Vicki and Dixie were my aunts. All three sisters married and had children, my mother, Betsy had three, myself (son) and two very beautiful daughters. Aunt Dixie had two, a boy and a girl, both very attractive. Aunt Vicki had two daughters who are also beautiful. My mother and father both appeared on the Ed Sullivan show many times.

The bit where the lead girl walks around herself while lying down - surely that's not possible? Unless her upper body was disconnected from her lower half at the waist!
I think the one on the left at the beginning runs a little knitting shop in Manchester now.

I often wish I was born in 1949, not 1979...
SO much EXCELLENT music, and so many TRUE performers in the 50's and 60's.
This video just goes to show the TALENT, and MULTI-talent that was out there back then!!
And yes, there was a "slight" sexual tinge to the whole performance, but SOO innocently performed! The swinging 60's eh? ;-)

Mind blowing act. How does the leader do it? I wonder what became of such a great act.

Does anyone know what happened to them? A REALLY extensive search (even in archane areas of the web) turns up nothing about these girls. The last thing that can be found about them is that they were in a London Stage Review called Picadilly Hayride in 1947. After that they just drop off the face of the earth, although their song from Picadilly Hayride was still being sold with their name attached as late as 1956. But there is no other mention of them. They appear to be totally forgotten.

I kind of long for the days when entertainment was within human dimensions - just what a body could do spinning a plate or making cartwheels - I guess that is why I still miss the Ed Sullivan show. All the techno breakthroughs are really nice and serve their purpose, but we have gone to a place where there is too much emphasis on sex and violence, and there is a jadedness in the public now that translates into a need to top the latest depiction of the Apocalypse with yet more gore and fireworks. I hope one day we retreat from that.

I'm 99.9% sure there wasn't color television in 1944... Why is this in color then?
By Esprite 1155047471 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0

This was from a movie, not television.

The first colour movie, a short, was released in 1908.
Colour just wasn't used often because of the expense.1079377 - 1
lot's of old movies had color added ...
and another thing, talent, yes, genetics also. To be that flexible you must be born that way. It was kind of freaky to see them bend that much, but awesome! Such muscular control!
The first colour movie was released in 1908.
The first colourised movie was released in 1916.
Colourisation and colour movies are two different things. Colourisation means colouring a black
and white movie. A colour movie is shot using colour film.
A different type of colourisation was developed in the mid 1980's for colouring old movies.
That's amazing. One part of me thinks, "This is amazing, I wish I could do that!" and another part of me thinks, "That's totally disgusting, it must hurt like hell, and their parents must have, like, almost killed them as babies by stretching their legs."

I've never seen anything like that. The music, the camerawork, the set design, even the cute goofy lyric, and their confidence, it's what TV should be. I'd watch more TV if this were on instead of American Idol, America's got Talent, Rockstar, Last Comic Standing, etc... It kind of relaxed me instead of that vicarious embarrassment that occurs with modern shows. It's nice. Not that I'm one for romanticizing the past but at least the shows were pleasant.

and thinking to myself delete it, they don't sing that great and they are not that hot looking. I stuck it out. Then they stopped singing and started doing that contortionist stuff, I felt a warm glow coming from my groin area. yep I had a chubby! I wanted in on that human wheel!

- Hell yeah
"Old School" rules, it's where it all came from. I caught part of an old movie done in the 1930's and there we're girs dancing behind some singer, and they we're dancing "hiphop!" Same style / moves .... I couldn't believe it! So much has all has already been done before and just recycles itself every few decades. Kind of like the hairstyles and black leather jackets of the 1950's "Greasers" made a comeback with "Punk Rock" or the 1960's "Rock / Bellbottoms" thing made a comeback with "Alternative." This clip was really entertaing, hope to see more "Old School" stuff!
