      I saw the Osmond Family in concert in Las Vegas in 1973. I was 14 & had crushes on most of them. Lol! What I remember most is how talented they were musically. The harmonies were amazing, and they all play multiple instruments. At one point they all played saxaphone at the same time. Truly great, talented performers!

    Donny and Marie in their later teen years had a network variety show "The Donny and Marie Show" where they had musical numbers with guests and comedy skits. They had a regular segment on their show where they sang an intro where Marie sang "I'm a little Country" and Donny would answer with "I'm a little Rock and Roll" and they sang duets of each type of song which were covers of popular songs of the time. They were good together and their careers went long after the main group with the older brothers faded away....but the whole family appeared on Christmas Specials singing together and reprising their old act.

      Yes I remember there variety show quite. But come on you have to admit that it really was not very good. Actually it was way too Goody Goody for any consideration as far as quality on TV. If you were young when that TV show was on I'm sure you would have liked it and that is the difference between a show standing on its own merits and fans that like anything a certain person does. If you are around 14 years old at the time this show was on TV I'm sure you have great fond memories. To anyone older than that age we generally found it to be just a little bit too Goody Goody.

    Merrill Osmond co wrote this song and was the lead singer. The osmonds were a very talented family. For another talented family during that era, check out the Cowsills who were a mega talented family of all boys except their baby sister Susan. They did a cover of Hair that was phenomenal. Also they had other great sixties style songs like The Rain, the Park and Other Things. The Partridge Family TV show was based on them.

    The lead singer is Merrill. In fact, he sings lead on more than 90% of their songs. The other brothers are: Alan, Wayne, Jay and of course Donny. The reason why they are so in sync with their dancing and singing is because they spent 7 years as regulars on The Andy Williams Show, beginning when they were grade school age. You can see their progression as singers, dancers and musicians by watching clips on UA-cam (from the Andy Williams Show). OH, and among them they play more than 30 different instruments.

I got to see them live -- the whole family -- in Oklahoma City, summer of 1984 (or 83?) don't remember for sure, and stayed down in the parking lot until 1 a.m. with a group of other die hards to get to meet them. :) What a thrill!

Hope you enjoyed the show in Oklahoma. My first time seeing the entire family perform was Vegas 1978. Saw them again in '79, '80, '81, '82, '83, and '84. Met them countless times, although only met Marie once ... in '79 (Vegas).

      @@sydneym4340 I LOVED the show in Oklahoma. I had seats up in the nosebleeds of the stadium. I'd bought myself a telephoto lens for my camera, just special for that occasion, and still could barely see them LOL. Donny arrived by helicopter -- I don't really remember how the others came out.
      When I got to meet them at the end of the show, the four older brothers and Jimmy came out first, and they stood around and chatted, signed autographs -- really great. Donny came out next and took off at a fast walk for the limo. One other young woman and I trotted along beside him and got autographs -- I don't know if anyone else did. I was ... disappointed. When I got back to the rest of the group, Marie had come out and was buried. I stuck my arm in with my book, and when I pulled it out, it was signed, presumably by her. LOL
      I'd actually taken a "novelization" of Goin' Coconuts, rather than an autograph book or an album for them to sign, because I wanted to stand out from the crowd. I remember Jay looked at it and said, "Where did you get thie?!?" I told him it came out about the same time as the movie, and he laughed and said, "Well, let's hope that never comes out again."

      @@sydneym4340 I also got to see Donny in concert in 2002, when he was at the Turning Stone in Central New York. I told my mother-in-law I wanted to go and was planning on getting tickets, and she said, don't worry, I'll get them for you. When my husband and I arrived at the venue, the guy at the door looked at our tickets and said, "I'll show you to your seats." I assumed we'd be back in the nosebleeds again, and I was okay with that -- I mean, free tickets, right? The guy started walking us around way to the far right of the auditorium, and I thought, oh, no, we're going to be behind a pillar or something. Got almost down to the front where there was a couple of rows of tables and chairs and he started walking to the center. My sweet mother-in-law had gotten us seats at a table in the front row, just to the left of the little steps that go up onto the stage. When Donny came out to sing, I was maybe 20-30 feet away from him. JAW DROP Best mother-in-law EVER. Not to mention an amazing concert!

    I watched an interview of the Osmonds where the brothers explained how they could all play so many instruments and dance so well. The family didn’t have a lot of money so each brother went to different types of music lessons and then they would return home and teach the rest of the family what they just learned. They spoke of having to pay close attention in their lessons because their family was depending on them to explain what to do. I remember Alan also took karate lessons and he incorporated some of those moves into their choreography. The plan worked; they all became proficient enough to play multiple instruments although they each specialized on certain ones. Any way you look at it, they’re incredibly gifted but they invested a ton of sweat equity by practicing. They have such a work ethic. They’re known as “the one-take Osmonds” because they’re so well rehearsed that they perform perfectly the first time and don’t need more takes.

    Marie Osmond was only 13 years old when she released her song Paper Roses and it went to number 1 on the country charts. You also need to check out some of Donny’s later songs like Soldier of Love. When it came out, Donny had been so pigeonholed as a teen idol that none of the radio stations would play his newer songs. A station finally started playing Soldier of Love, but they kept it a secret who was singing it. It wasn’t until a tremendous number of people requested the song that they finally told who it was.

    I'm so glad you started doing reactions to the Osmonds. Bit of history: two oldest brothers are deaf, which is the reason Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay began singing, to raise money for hearing aids; began singing at Disneyland and later were regulars on the Andy Williams Show; Donny, Marie, and Jimmy followed a little later; they have been in show business for over 60 years; most have retired by now; Alan has multiple sclerosis, Wayne had a brain tumor removed, Jimmy suffered a stroke; they play over 30 instruments; Donny and Marie had a show that ran 4 (?) years; Alan's 5 sons perform as The Second Generation Osmonds (son David also has MS); the 4 original singing Osmonds were in a show called The Travels of Jamie McPheters (not sure that's spelled correctly); Donny performed in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Listen to him sing Any Dream Will Do). It's from 7 years ago with Maria Friedman and the late Richard Attenborough. I could go on and on, but I'll just sit back, listen, and enjoy the Osmonds! Thank you for your great reactions.

    They are, indeed, one o those "genius families". They all play multiple instruments, and Donny has just such an incredible voice, but their harmonies are killers. That's Merrill singing lead, Jay on Drums, Alan on lead guitar, and Wayne on bass.
    As well as Marie, the youngest brother often joined in, and they have two older brother, Tom and Virl, who are hearing impaired. They got their start as little boys, Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay, performing barbershop quartet music at Disneyland.

    Donny still performs onstage in Vegas and was the Peacock on The Masked Singer a couple of years ago. He can still put on a show, even if he is the father of 5 and grandfather of 22. Even though most teens and young women in the late 60s and early 70s would’ve died to meet him, he’s been married to his HS sweetheart since he was 20.

    Back in the '70's, we were all in love with both the Osmond brothers & the Jackson brothers. Donny Osmond was the first album I ever owned. Loved it! He was such a heart throb!
    Definitely do "Crazy Horses". It's actually a little bit different from most of their tunes but it's def a banger! "YoYo" is my favorite. So much energy!! Also you mentioned sister Marie. "Paper Roses" was her big hit. She's stunningly beautiful! (Great one for Female Friday!) (You've probably seen her on the weight loss Nutrisystem commercials!) She had a beautiful duet with Dan Seals (brother of Jim Seals of Seals & Croft) called "Meet Me in Montana". Hope some day you do that one.

      I was going to suggest YoYo as another song as the choreography of the dancing moves is so good while they still deliver their awesome vocals. I definitely also recommend crazy horses; didn't even know they did that one until about a year ago. That was about the time when the Osmond's came up on YT recommendations for me. I became a fan all over again and have even more appreciation for them now than then.

    So glad to see The Osmonds on your channel, again! Yes, their sister, Marie, had a hit single when she was 14 years old, called Paper Roses. The youngest Osmond, Jimmy, had a big hit record called Long Haired Lover From Liverpool. I think he was around 10 years old, but not 100% sure about that age. I just know he was young. Merrill was the lead singer on this song, and it's always been one of my favorites. Merrill has a wonderful voice, but they all sound awesome. Donny was, and still is, quite popular, but I'm a bigger fan of Jay, the drummer. He was one of the top ten drummers nationwide back in the 1970s. I believe he was in his early 20s at the time. For a more slower pace of their music, may i suggest: The Proud One; Love Me For A Reason; Let Me In; He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother; Rainin'; Where Does An Angel Go When She Cries; and " I Think About Your Lovin All the Time" (you can hear Wayne's deep voice in this one); and "If Every Man Had A Woman Like You". The last three songs i listed are from their album/cd Greatest Country Hits (one of my favorite albums of theirs) and features the original four Osmond Brothers. For a more "hard rock" sound, listen to Hold Her Tight, One Way Ticket to Anywhere, and I Can't Live A Dream. As a subscriber, i really appreciate the enthusiasm you guys show when listening, not just to the Osmonds, but also to other performers. You could say "it's contagious" because i find myself smiling and movin' to the music. Love it!

Later in life as a DJ, I went to a ton of concerts, but never experienced this teen idol excitement and energy until...I took my daughter to see NSYNC! All the girls around me were going crazy and they put on a great show with singing and dancing just as high energy and entertaining as the Osmond Brothers did. In later years there was a TV show starring Donny and Marie Osmond. They were fun and funny! Marie recorded country songs and one I really liked was one she recorded with Dan Seals called "Meet Me in Montana" which has been re-recorded by other artists.

Then after her was the final kid- Jimmy who did at times join in to sing at times. He has a hit song once when he was around 12. The Osmonds that you don't see but in the occasional family holiday special was- Tom and Virl(?). They were the eldest Osmonds, and also deaf. That's why they weren't singing in the group. Donny even these days has had his own Vegas show. He's 5 yrs older than myself. The family has always been strong in their Faith as Mormons.

    This was a ginormous hit in 1970, along with their other big hit, "One Bad Apple." I had just "left the nest" and set off on my life's journey in the Summer of '70 and was working in Tulsa as a disc jockey at one of America's top Top 40 stations, "The Big 97," KAKC. We played the ever-lovin' snot out of this record. Then the Osmonds came to town and played the big concert arena in Tulsa. Being with the radio station that was presenting the show, I was more or less obligated to go, even though the Osmonds weren't exactly my cup of tea. (Teeny-bopper kiddy band.) But I went. And I believe today, 53 years later, my ears are still ringing from the experience. I never had the privilege of seeing The Beatles perform live, but we've all seen the footage of the Beatles' adoring fans -- all those teenage girls, screaming and shrieking their lungs out. Well, attending this Osmonds concert was pretty much the same, except the ages of the screaming girls was, on average, about 5 years younger. It was the teenage girls and their younger pre-teen sisters who attended this show (and the poor unsuspecting boyfriends who had to endure it). For the duration of the show, I couldn't hear a single note the band played over the din off all the screaming girls. And whenever little Donny Osmond stepped up to the mic, it was so loud, you couldn't hear yourself think. I've sat in the front row of some very loud rock concerts, including Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Paul McCartney & Wings, but none of those shows left me feeling like I might never regain my hearing again quite like that Osmonds concert did.
    There's no denying the talent these guys possessed. And I know they were wizards in the studio. But I have always considered that concert to be one of the two worst concerts I ever attended (the worst being Steppenwolf in Kansas City, KS in 1969). But honestly, in 1970, if you were an 11 or 12 year old girl, I'm sure this record was right up your alley, and you probably had covers of 16 Magazine with Donny Osmond's face on the cover tacked up on your bedroom wall. Me? When i got home from that concert, I just wanted to wash off.

Also, Donnie was infamous for occasionally wearing purple socks. One day I wore a pair of socks to school that were bluish purple and for about a month my classmates called me Johnny Osmond. 🤣😂
