Dave James Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) Over on Doug Ramsey's Rifftides blog, there's a discussion about the Scopitone, something of a video jukebox that was around for a very brief time in the '60's. One of the videos that was made for this machine was of two German sisters, Alice and Ellen, better known as the Kessler Twins. I couldn't let this go without sharing the video from, where else, YouTube. Please take note of the sly looks the sister on the left keeps flashing during this all too short video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWD5w9tVTr0...feature=related Up over and out.

Dave James Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes, my sentiments exactly. For those of you who are still unwilling to commit your mind, heart, body and soul to the Kessler Twins, here's another video that may make you recognize the error of your ways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcysec6Jc6g Up over and out.

porcy62 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The Kessler twins were hugely popular over here from the early sixty, and actually they still are. A sort of pop (and sexy) icon of italian economic boom of the same years. At the age of 40, they agreed to pose on the cover of the Italian edition of Playboy. That issue became the fastest-selling Italian Playboy up until that point. wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_Twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music on this video sounds like Esquivel. Well, OK, very laid-back Esquivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm indebted to you for the I Say A Little Prayer in pink video which I cribbed for one of my posts. That stuff on Doug's blog about Paul Desmond and the Kessler Twins video at the bar in the Hilton Hotel right here in PDX is a hoot. He must've have been quite a character. Up over and out.
