Christmas with Claudine Longet

Get your insulin ready for this: StellaVista Ultramodel Claudine Longet and her husband at the time Andy Williams (who would survive his marriage to Claudine. His successor would not be so lucky.

Here they are pimping their kids for a performance of "Silent Night" and "Mary´s Boy Child". Creepy in it´s sugary broth.




I am still looking for her version of "Bang Bang, my baby shot me down", which was allegedly banned for obvious reasons.

UPDATE: A commenter informed me that the "Bang Bang"-story is a fantasy rumour and that she never recorded a version of this particular song. Too bad: It would have been a great rendition even without the bleak story behind it.

Acapella Holodeck

The year is 1966 and it´s the height of the space-age. TV-shows looked like they were broadcasted from an orbital space station and to be invited you had to do something amazing. This is Marcos Valle and the girls from Bahia on the Andy Williams Show. Once you get past the corny introduction (ending at 01:30) its all pure brilliance!

Update: It was pure brilliance. Sadly someone decided to remove the clip from Youtube. Idiots.
