The Ross Sisters – “Solid Potato Salad”

At precisely 1:02, this video takes an abrupt turn for the awesomer.

The Ross sisters are truly awesome. And so very mysterious! They don’t even have a wiki entry.

Here’s a bit of intel gleaned from the blog accelerateddecrepitude:

“The Ross Sisters – Aggie, Maggie and Elmira (who for some reason did not use their real-life names of Vicki, Dixie and Betsy Ross – though I can understand Betsy not wanting to be confused with the comparatively non-athletic Betsy Ross who sewed the first American flag!) – performing “Solid Potato Salad” from the 1944 MGM musical Broadway Rhythm. This clip also appears in That’s Entertainment! III (1994).”

Thanks to the Ross sisters, and to Tom Warner from acceleratedecrepitude.
