    Ross Sisters - 1944

    Have you ever heard of this group? A friend sent me this Email. I was amazed.

    This is a video of an act from 1944 - a sister act called the Ross Sisters.

    I had never heard of them. The song they sing is about 45 seconds long (nothing special) but what they do next is...!

    Can you imagine these girls on Australia ’s Got , America 's Got Talent and/or England Got Talent?

    I don't think I have ever seen a human being do some of the stunts they did!

    Hope you enjoy it!


    (Watch past the first 60 seconds or so, then Whoa! Look Out!)

      My God! That's like a David Lynch movie!

      My first thought was, the one on the right is real cute. But then...wow...

      It made me sore just to watch.

          Ow! That hurts just to look at!

              Hmmm... the mind wanders...

              I'm thinking those girls must've left their skeletons in the dressing room...


              Just as a teaser, as you listen to the orchestral background for the acrobatic portion of their act, does anybody remember a notable movie with the same tune used as background in one scene?

                  Wow, the flexibility is amazing. There would be considerable strength needed for a couple of those feats.

                                  Ya know how as you get older and you see someone do something that makes you say something like, "I could do that when I was a little younger". Well, I could never do that when I was a youngster, in my prime and especially not now!

                                      I like Cirque du Soleil (?), but that is ridiculous! I kept looking on the net to see who made that up, but it seems as if it's the real deal! That bit in the hayloft is totally off the charts,I can't even imagine how strong your legs would have to be to do that!I am truly impressed.

                                          The only thing that bothered me was "the apple".

                                          Still amazing stuff
