Who remembers Donnies purple socks?
Lol! I'd forgotten about that!
Did you notice Donny wore yellow on this video
I was an avid Donny and Marie watcher. I was a tween and I never missed it.
I had to beg and plead for my Mom to let me paint my room purple because of Donnie.
Captain Purple!
The Osmonds should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Nope. Artists don't give props who steal someone's act. They stole the Jackson 5 act. The Jackson are in the Hall. It is fine to be inspired by. But the Osmonds were a barber shop quartet whose handlers decided we could offer a white version of these black kids.
Pop Not Rock
Like it matters in the HOF. Rock in name only.
The Osmonds were serious rock on most of their albums. Radio preferred their pop stuff.
People can say what they want about the Osmonds but they can't say they weren't talented. They could sing, dance, play instruments and write songs. You can't find too many that can do that today.
And act too! They did lots of sketches on their tv show that were great, and Donny and Marie both have been in a few films and done some acting on Broadway.
@@mamb4801 act? that’s questionable 🤔
@@Trish-ql9kzDonny’s performances in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway were well received by critics.
@@docdee770 The Osmonds kept performing over the decades. the Jacksons disappeared except for Michael.
I wasn't alive at the time but I love this band! Can't see why people would hate on them at all
That charisma that Donny had at 14, he still has in his 60's!
They were known as “The one-take Osmonds”. Their father told them that they owed it to everyone who worked in the studio to come prepared and not to waste their time. So they did things in one take…
Great, Luther Vandross and Celine Dion were the same
On "Behind The Music" with Donny and Marie, Marie said she would beat herself up so bad if she made a mistake in the studio. "If I wasn't a one-take Osmond, who was I?"
Did not know this, but it is quite a tribute to their professionalism.
The Osmond family has two older brothers that do not sing and Marie is the only girl younger than Donny,and then there's little Jimmy who also sings and was on there show😊
The Carpenters were also known for one-takes...would go into the studio and hit first time, and then say they could do better and work it. This was/is not common- ask the engineers.
Singing and Dancing without running out of breath… that is talent.
They could have been lip syncing. It existed back then.
They sang and danced in concert without running out of breath.
Michael Jackson had talent then
When the boys were very young, their father, George Osmond, choreographed their barbershop routines, but after they started appearing on The Andy Williams Show in 1963, Andy’s choreographer, Nick Castle, taught them to dance and he choreographed their routines on the show. After they left The Andy Williams Show in the late ‘60s, they eventually met martial arts expert Chuck Norris, who choreographed their concert routines during the early-mid’70s. Jay Osmond choreographed their routines on The Donny & Marie Show, and he later choreographed their line dance routines when they went country for a while in the ‘80s. This routine for “Yo Yo” (from The Flip Wilson Show in 1971) was inspired by the martial art of Chuck Norris, and he may have actually choreographed it.
I was lucky enough to see them live 3 times in the 70s. Donnie was singing “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” & when he said “Honey you lied when you said you loved me@ I yelled out - in a fairly quiet arena - “No I didn’t” The audience and Donny laughed and he said “I love you too.” My 6 year old mind knew we were going to get married.😂
I saw them in concert as well in the early 70's but you couldn't hardly hear the music over the girls screaming, lol. I was and still am a big Donny fan. I bought all his albums and 45's which I used my babysitting money to buy them with. I bought every Tiger Beat magazine then put the photos of him all over my bedroom walls. It was crazy. I would give anything to relive those days.
You and a million other girls honey...lol
SO JEALOUS!!!
Love this story
I went to 3 Osmond concerts. The first 2 were with all of the singing Osmonds and the 3rd 1 was a Marie Osmond Christmas concert. I haven't been to any of their concerts since 1997. Boo Hoo! I sure wish I'd been lucky to have caught Donny & Marie in concert when they played in La Vegas for 11 years.
Jay Osmond (the drummer) was the choreographer for the Osmonds. The Osmond Family (the brothers + Donny & Marie) did a 50th anniversary tour...there are videos of all the Osmonds singing from this show plus their 2 older brothers, Virl & Tom ( who are deaf) join them on stage for a few songs.
Saw that concert it was just awesome!
I didn't know Jay was the Guru of Gyro!!
@@jdgolf499 I think this is right. There's a lot of people in the background we never hear of during the post Williams pre D&M era.
I thought that I had seen that Virl and Tom were involved in the choreography.
@@kbc1649 When the family was young they would send one kid out for lessons and he would come back and teach the rest. Virl and Tom studied tap and came back and showed the rest. On the Williams show the old man would learn the routines along with the kids so he could help them when they were at home.
Jay Osmond was the primary choreographer for the Osmonds' concerts and some television concerts.
They all studied martial arts, and said that informed their choreography.
@@danieldickson8591 I wonder if the Jackson 5 did some martial arts training as well... they had that same kind of flow.
I had no idea that he was the Guru of Moves!
Love it! J5 and Osmonds ruled the day back then!
Waiting on the first Jackson 5 reaction.
With the exception of Janet, they seem hellbent on avoiding The Jackson family all together. Not sure why that is.
The song they need to do by J5 is Dancing Machine. Michael kills it with the robot.
"Yo Yo" was one of my favorite songs by the Osmonds. It's the first one I learned all of the words to when I was young because I loved the song.
Love Me For a Reason was their ballad that was loved.
Just saw Donny in Las Vegas. In his early 60’s and a fantastic performer. Still dancing like he’s 20 years old.
I love his Vegas show.
You gotta remember--this was the early 70s, and the Osmonds were in direct competition with The Jackson 5. Michael and Donny became friends, especially since they were both the stars of their family groups. It was a wonderful time to be alive.
Donny was my very first crush, when I was five years old in 1973. Great reaction!!!
There was no competition. They performed. That's it.
@@sallyatticum There was competition. But this was early 1970s. The Jacksons had to go along to get along. If you grew up in segregated America and we're black trying to assimilate you know what the deal is.
You really should do Donny & Marie's signature song "A little bit Country, a little bit Rock N'Roll". They opened their show every week with this song, but my favorite duet they did is "I'm Leaving It All Up To You". They did a lot of great songs together. If you were a kid growing up in the 70s, you watched their show.
A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'n' Roll didn't open the show, it was at about the halfway mark.
That song opened the concert spot every week.
The children in this family must have all had perfect pitch. Each of them danced, sang and played a variety of instruments, with Jay being acknowledged as one of the best drummers in music history. The two oldest brothers, who were severely hearing impaired, not only played saxophone, but were also extremely proficient dancers, teaching all their younger siblings tap. They are all just amazingly talented. Great reaction! Thumbs up!
also trained in karate with Chuck Norris!!! Osmond's are insanely talented and hard working
@@lilpoohbear653 Oh yeah! I forgot all about that but you are right!
Another singing family is The Defranco Family singing "Heartbeat, Its A Lovebeat" from 1973. They are 3 brothers and 2 sisters singing and dancing. Another song by the Defanco's is "Abra-Ca-Dabra", also from 1973. Young Tony Defranco sings lead.
"Heartbeat, Its A Lovebeat", is very catchy!!
Yesss!
Jackson 5 and the Osmonds were the first boy bands.
But far superior to those prefabricated Nineties groups.
Not really boy bands, they sang and played instruments
They weren't the first, but they were the best. Love both groups
Written and produced by Jay Osmond, who not only played drums in the band but co-wrote and choreographed many of their songs. Donny was the Peacock on "The Mask"
Yes, Donny Osmond won The Masked Singer as the Peacock, I think it was the first season.
Actually Joe South wrote "Yo-Yo" but they did write some of their hits.
@@rogerdodger6025 And of course Rick Hall produced it , at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
@@TaleenVezina Donny did not win; he was the runner-up. (He should have won)
As others stated, the brothers did not write Yo Yo. Also, Jay helped write very few songs. Alan, Wayne, and Merrill were the writers, while Jay was listed along with them as a writer on My Drum.
Fun song! Some more Osmond family hits are Donny's solo No. 2 pop hit with "Soldier of Love" in 1988 when he was 31, and sister Marie Osmond's No. 1 country hit (No. 5 pop hit) "Paper Roses" in 1973 when she was 14. And together Donny and Marie hosted their own variety sketch-comedy TV show for several years on ABC and had several hit duets, such as "I'm Leaving It All Up to You" (No. 4 in 1974).
If you were a kid in the 70s. You watched their show.
I was an avid Donny and Marie watcher. I was a tween and I never missed it.
@@petercourtien4581 Same.
Soldier of love was a good song. Curiously enough he didn't release it under the name Donny Osmond but under a pseudonym. At that point his career was in the toilet. He proved them wrong though
Love Paper Roses!!!
LOVE ME FOR A REASON SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT OSMONDS SONG 🎵
Squeeeeeel!! I'm back at 13 years old, babysitting the neighbors two terrors so I could afford the newest Osmond album at Sears $2.95. Raisin Bran had Osmond 45's that you cut out of the back of the box with scissors. But usually it warped because of your hot sweaty little hands so the sound would be all up and down. Hey! Just like a yoyo. 🥰
P.S. I think those outfits are a tribute to Elvis.
OMG! Yes, i remember!😍
Names,Alan ,Wayne Merrill, Jay,Donny solo artists were Marie and Jimmy, they had older brothers Tom and Viril who were born deaf.They originally started singing to pay for the older brothers hearing aids. They were on the Andy Williams show and they had their own variety show and cartoon. They were of the same era as the Jackson Five.❤❤❤
Check them out on the Andy Williams Show when they were little. Adorable!
"Paper Roses" was Marie's first hit as a Country Song, but soon after she hit the Pop charts with "This is the way that I feel".
You have got to check out a group of Brothers like the Osmond’s singing “He ain’t Heavy (he’s my brother)”. I have heard them sing this song for 40 years and it is awesome every-time .
Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny and there’s Marie and the youngest is Jimmy. There are 9 Osmond children. The two oldest are deaf and 4 brothers formed a barbershop quartet to raise money for their hearing aids. They played Disneyland and then were regulars on the Andy Williams show where he would include his brothers. Was such an awesome treat. There are TH-cam videos with the Willams and Osmond brothers performing.
Donny, Merrill, Jay, Wayne and Alan, Jimmy and Marie came along later, but Donnie has been in show business since he was 4 or 5 on the Andy Williams Show Way Way back in the 60's. the Os-Bros as we called them, were primarily barber shop quartet music, super fine harmonies and could stay on beat. The Osmonds are an American Legend
Hello, actually the older brothers (Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay) were the first to appear on Andy Williams 😁💕. Those would be great videos to see!
That would be fun to see🙋🏻♀️
I lived in England at that time, and they were the biggest thing, as to how big they were in the USA (their home country) I have no idea.
“The Girl I Love” is another awesome funk/rock song The Osmonds perform I think you would like. Also “Love Me For A Reason” and “He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother”
Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay were the original singing Osmonds. Sister Marie and brother Jimmy came later. Tommy and Virl are the two oldest brothers who are hearing impaired. They have been on the Osmond Christmas shows dancing, and, if I remember correctly, playing the piano and saxophones. Their mother taught them how to feel the vibrations. Their 25th and 50th Anniversary shows are fantastic where the four brothers perform, Marie, Donny, and Jimmy do solos, and they all join together, especially at the end. I have seen the Osmonds in Missouri, Illinois, and several times in Las Vegas, and their shows are awesome. Alan, born in 1949, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and has retired; Wayne, born in 1951, had a brain tumor removed several years ago and has retired; Merrill, born in 1953, just recently retired; Jay, born in 1955, and if I'm correct, is semi-retired; Donny, born in 1957, still performs currently in Vegas; Marie, born in 1959, still performs; and Jimmy, born in 1963, suffered a stroke a few years ago and has retired. Subscribed to your channel last year, and I think the two of you do an excellent job! I'm 73 yrs old, still love the Osmonds, and enjoy watching the two of you. On a side note, Alan's sons perform as the Osmonds 2nd generation, and their song "Hand Over Your Heart" is beautiful. To hear a "production" number by Donny, listen to "Any Dream Will Do" -- "Give Me My Colored Coat" from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". He sings with Maria Friedman and they sound great together. Since this is from the production, they are in costumes.
Donny steals the show every time! 💟
I remember as a kid seeing them perform this song on the Flip Wilson Show. Good times...I also love the fact the The Jacksons and the Osmonds were good friends. Also check out the Sylvers (another big family - think 10 kids) had a few hits 'Boogie Fever'; 'High School Dance' to name a few.
Donny and Marie had a television variety series on ABC, in which the other Osmonds occasionally guested; also , the Osmonds had their own, short-lived animated series (which aired right after the Jackson 5 animated show, and before the Brady Kids animated show), which featured the youngest Osmond, Jimmy!
If you type in ‘The Osmonds 50th Anniversary I Believe’ this has the 9 siblings with Tom and Verill doing sign language and the rest singing. It is awesome!
My sister was Donny obsessed, as he became a heartthrob around the age of 6. I was forced to attend all of their appearances at the Allentown State Fair in PA. Marie and Donny had a TV show in the late seventies. And Marie had her own country music (paper roses). My sister still loves Donny and was very excited when he did Masked Singer.
I still love their sharp, in sync dancing on this and other performances. Donny over so many years really has proven to everyone just how multi talented he is. He even did - Dancing with the Stars years ago and was wonderful on it and won the trophy at the end! If I remember right he was one of the top 3 oldest contestants they had that season. ❤
THAT LEAD ROCK AND ROLL VOICE you asked about is Merrill Osmond! 😍Woo! I loved it when I was a kid and I still do! Donny Osmond is just too cute though. 😍 Jay Osmond is the primary dance routine choreographer and also the drummer in the family. Oh, if you do Marie Osmond for 'Female Friday' Do her first hit "Paper Roses" that was released in 1973 she may have been either 13 or 14, I am guessing. I am so glad you enjoyed this video, and I enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕
Merrill sang most of the lead vocals for the Osmonds and he’s sharing it with Donny in Yo-yo. He has a really great voice for rock ‘n roll. The ages of the 5 brothers in the group (oldest to youngest): Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny.
Yes!! You always have to do a video with the Osmonds!! Great dance moves!!!!
JAY Osmond did the choreography for “Crazy Horses “and some of the others but not this one. For this one a professional choreographer did this one!
Merrill and Donny sang leads on this one!!
Check out there’s several videos of Marie singing “HE AI’NT HEAVY HE’S MY BROTHER “ with the brothers!! That song was sort of their theme song.
One word of caution about that: the Osmonds were recording artists first, in a time when no regular outlet for music videos existed. As a result, some of their best songs are audio-only, with no video version ever made.
OMG! WEREN'T THEY JUST FABULOUS? We were just CRAZY for this band of brothers. Their sister Marie had a hit with "Paper Roses" 1973. And then the very youngest brother "Jimmy" (who joined the band later when he was old enough) had a hit with "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool" would you believe!?. Yes, its a crazy title, but the song is so catchy. I think your girls will love it. ❤
I have to say it was wonderful to be five or six years old in the Pop world on TV and radio to have the Jackson 5 and the Osmonds. Thanks guys.!
When the Osmonds were at the top of the charts I was the same age as Donny. My personal favorite is Merrill. It’s fun watching Amber’s reaction as my girlfriends did the same over Donny! ❤❤❤
I saw them in concert when I was 12…. They were amazing and performed an amazing concert! I love my Osmonds.
The Osmonds "Hold Her Tight"
Alan is the oldest of the singing group, then Wayne, Merrill(lead singer), Jay, then Donny
I’ve got to hand it to those Osmonds, their routines are HIGH ENERGY!
Dig this! The Osmond Family were known as the “one take” Osmond’s. I was only a toddler,
The Osmond’s and The Jackson’s were my older cousins teenage music and fashion. Good times. You gotta do Marie.
As a kid I was more into Donny's solo songs than the group, but now watching them on RSR, they are soooo much like the Jackson 5, it is unreal. Mad they were both around at the same time and the parallels
The underbeat on this keeps wanting to swing into The Beatles "Day Tripper" lol
They really were huge back in the early 70's. Donny was always the cutie, but I never fully appreciated Merrill's raspy/gravelly voice until much later. I truly think he could have had a great solo career. Thanks guys. The Yo Yo video is always so much fun to watch!
I’m loving that y’all love the Osmonds! My walls were plastered with their posters when I was a young teen! Their concert was one of my first. I still have their albums and have always followed their careers, including Marie, who I met twice.
If you want to see how popular they were, watch some of their live concerts.
Yes, their Ohio state fair concerts show them live 🎉 midnight special with Stevie Wonder ❤❤❤❤
I highly recommend a song Donny wrote for his son. He also dedicates it to his family. Whenever You're in Trouble. It's beautiful.
There is also a video from a BBC special where they sing and dance “Having a Party, the Girl I Love, and “Can’t Get Next to You”. It’s a great performance.
We never missed an episode of "The Donny & Marie Show". This family were known as "the one take Osmonds" in that they always came prepared & camera ready. 😎😍
I was a teen girl and totally obsessed with them. Saw them in concert in NY. I believe Jay did most of the choreography.
The maker of their jumpsuits is the same man that made Elvis Presley's jumpsuits.
Yes you’ve got to give sister Marie Osmond a turn!!
1. Paper Roses
2. There’s No Stopping Your Heart
3. Meet Me In Montana(duet with Dan Seals)
Ps. I’ve bet you’ve seen Marie on Tv and didn’t even know it! She Does The Commercials For “Nutrasystem “!!!
The Osmonds were in response to the success of the Jackson 5.
Even though the Osmonds were singing longer, they weren’t singing pop so they weren’t as successful as the Jacksons until they started singing pop too.
The Jackson 5 had a Saturday morning cartoon. Lo and behold the Osmonds ended up with one too.
Back in the 70's Donny and Marie were my jam, I turned 10 in 1974! I loved the brothers too. Donny and Marie had a 1 hour variety show that I could not/would not miss.
YES YES YES!!!!! So thrilled you got around to this one!😂
Can't tell you how many times I have watched this when I need a feel-good moment!
The vocals, the dancing, the costumes, those fresh smiles....the whole thing is pure fire❤🔥
Eldest to youngest: Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny
This was literally just months before Donny's voice changed, so quite a treasure.
It was one of their deaf brothers who actually taught the boys how to dance and then Jay became the primary choreographer for the group.
Would love for you to do "Osmond Brothers- Side by Side" from Disneyland After Dark, April 15th, 1962. This is (I think) their earliest commercial performance you can find on video. It's the eldest four boys before Donny joined, it's short, and it's prior to their Pop/Rock stuff but it's an incredible look at their sheer musical talent and how they got started as just little boys. This was where they caught the attention of Any Williams' father, which got them on Andy's show where they became weekly regulars.
This is my favorite reaction video you guys have done. I've been suggesting this song on a few other reactions. I knew you would really like this one. The Osmonds are a very tight knit family. Their dad was a strong leader. The Osmonds kind of broke up in 1975 to focus on doing the Donnie and Marie show. The family built a studio out in Utah (where they're from) which cost a fortune thinking the show would last longer than 4 years. It was a very good show, but like I said, it only lasted 4 years. They fell on some hard times financially that is too long to go into here. But pulling together as a family over the years, they have rebounded well. There is a sister Marie Osmond. She had a number 1 hit at 13 named Paper Roses. To my knowledge she did not perform with the brothers until later years. There was also a very young Jimmy who was huge in Japan. If I'm not mistaken, he had a big hit album over there when he was like 5. . I loved how you guys were dancing along with the song. I was dancing right along with you....lol Great reaction video guys.
I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's! This was such fun music, with some cool choreography!
Gotta love those Osmonds Brothers! They're awesome, and such fun. Donnie and Marie had a variety show that was great. They'd do this bit where she was "A little bit country" and he was "A little bit rock and roll". Also..... Marie and Dan Seals song "Meet Me In Montana" is one of my favorites ever!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agree. Meet Me in Montana is a must do.
There were a lot of duets by Donny and Marie. Their version of Deep Purple is really good.
The Osmond's were fun to watch! They were great performers. Another family group I think you will like is The Sylvers. Start with their 1976 hit "Boogie Fever"! You will be chair dancing and smiling! 💖
Its why we all were IN LOVE with the Osmonds . Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny ! See I can still name them all :D
Donny’s Sweet and Innocent, Puppy Love, Go Away Little Girl, all the songs that made him a teen idol
I think their best song is
Hold her tight. Great song.
Merle has a redo that is killer.
I was never a big fan of the Osmonds, but "Puppy Love" was a great pop song and a big hit on the radio. I liked more the Donnie & Marie duets, particularly their 1979 disco hit "On the Shelf". One of Marie's greatest solo songs was "This is the Way That I Feel" which is definitely worth reacting to.
I’m the opposite, really disliked the D and M bubble gum stuff - Puppy Love makes my ears bleed! Loved the Brothers though. So talented, musical and creative.
The Osmonds were so versatile that they had something for everybody. How can you beat that?
I love the Osmonds. They are so good looking, talented and beautiful. I love Yo Yo.
I am 61 now and I have loved Donny Osmond since I was 10. I had the purple socks, they had sparkly silver running through them! When he won Dancing with the Stars I just loved it! That man is full of talent!
Me too! When I was 10.
The guys were all handsome and super talented. They could all play different instruments. Jay, the one who played the drums, choreographed their dance moves, believe it or not. The music wasn't particularly deep (we had Yes and Pink Floyd for that!) but their music was just a lot of fun. They toured continuously until Merril (the one singing lead here) decided to retire. I was lucky enough to see them live during this time and they were incredible. Very wholesome, but still slick pop stars. Love your reaction! A lot of people won't admit to liking the Osmond Brothers.
Actually--it was Alan who retired first due to Mulltiple Sclerosis. Merrill Then Wayne got a brain tumor and eventually retired. Donny went off and teamed up with Marie in Las Vegas, as well as had a talk show with her. Jimmy, Merrill, Jay and Wayne used to do shows in Branson MO until Wayne got sick. Jimmy got involved in Theatre, and MMerrill and Jay kept it going in Branson. Merrill finally retired and Jay just wrote a musical movie about the Osmand family behind teh scenes which is a HUGE hit in England... Donny is still in show business, but he and his wife also started a furniture company.... Marie has a doll company
The 4 Original Osmonds retired in October of 2019. The last time they performed together was when Marie was on The Talk. They had a birthday party for Marie’s 60th birthday. Marie announced that it would be their very last time performing together.
When the Mask singer show came on, I knew it was Donny.
The reason that their moves are so perfect is because they spent 7 years on the Andy Williams Show, where they sang, danced and played numerous instruments. By the time the Osmond Brothers were out on their own, they had already done it all. Lead singer is Merrill, who would have been 18 in this video. Alan is the oldest and he would have been 22 with Wayne 20, Jay 16 and Donny 13. Merrill did a lot of the choreography in the earlier days, with Jay taking over by the time the Donny & Marie Show aired. All are awesome singers, dancers and musicians.
Precision. That's the word for their dancing. Absolutely flawless. One take Osmonds, as they were known. Excellent reaction!!!
Yay! Yes! I love this song. What might be fun is checking out their early early days. Donny's been on TV since he was 5. And the four boys were on the Andy Williams' show. The youngest brother, Jimmy, was a solo act and was very big in Japan.
For future reference, there is a LOT of Osmonds' Christmas songs available.
The Osmonds were awesome!!...so talented..sometimes they danced, sang and played their instruments simultaneously.
And Donny was the Michael Jackson of the group..beautiful front man. We loved him soooo much. Still do. x
I highly suggest reacting to Final Osmond Family Concert 2008. It was the final concert of the family. Even the two oldest who are deaf sign in a couple of songs. It's very moving. It breaks down the original 4. Then Donny and Marie and then Jimmy. It's very moving
Jay & Amber, you'll love Marie Osmonds "Paper Roses". She was a little bit country :)
edit- This is your 4th Osmonds song
And Donny was a little Rock & Roll.😉
@@reesebn38 😉
FIRE! Great reaction guys, love their energy and it's really fun. "Hold Her Tight" "Puppy Love" "Let Me In" "Love Me For A Reason" Cher collaborated with The Osmonds on her show here's the link: th-cam.com/video/R6FIVEUld4U/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! She also collaborated with The Jackson Five as well here's the link: th-cam.com/video/s6lNFS6FCzA/w-d-xo.html Enjoy again! :D Female Friday Request: Sharon O'Neill--Maxine. Thanks!
I watched the Cher and Osmond clip and it was so much fun. Thanks for sharing
OK not gonna lie I've kept this Osmonds video in my faves list for YEARS now... I watch it when I'm feeling down and I just need a boost of happiness. Works every time! I actually grew up with the Donny & Marie Show. You guys should check it out! Love your reactions 🤎🤎🤎
I saw them many (many) years ago in a concert and the energy level was amazing. I'd seen them back in the 1960s (yeah, I'm that old) on The Andy Williams Show and the Jerry Lewis show. I remember that they could all play multiple instruments. Thanks for bringing back old memories! By the way, their rendition of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" was gorgeous.
In my mind The Osmonds were not known as being cool. They were a talented, clean cut, and family friendly group. They were very popular in the bubblegum music genre. I happen to love that music because it is feel good music.
Yes. 100% Agree. I like the Osmonds in a nostalgic sort of way but they were and have always been considered corny 😳☺
You're right. Sadly, it wasn't "cool" to be clean-cut, well mannered, and the Osmonds fell under that category, along with the likes of John Denver. You were cool if your songs contained profanity, more explicit sex, etc. Thank goodness the Osmonds persisted and stayed true to themselves and lasted some 50+ years right up to their retirement. Yes, some of their songs are bubblegum, but they are entertaining, energetic, and just plain fun.,
@@patlarimore6960 The Jackson 5 were cool and clean cut. They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Remember The Bay City Rollers? They were another fun band.
@@blackblake3658 The Osmonds suffered from religious discrimination. They were ridiculed for being Mormons.
There are 2 additional Osmond Brothers, Tom and Viri, that did not do music because they were deaf. However, Tom was still involved in their careers. Tom did all the choreography for their live shows. And yes, everyone in the Osmond Family knows sign language.
Donnie made the teeny boppers scream! And in their live show they always include Marie. Donnie and Marie had a real popular late night variety show! ❤🎼
So glad you’ve found our guys!! You need to do a solo of Donny and a Donny and Marie duo. Lots of songs to see! Donny has over 60 albums!
He has released his 65th album, WTG Donny
The Osmonds and The Jackson 5 had the moves spot on, The Proud one or Love me for a reason should be next
But zero reactions to the Jacksons. Maybe they have heard all the Jacksons songs?
We know where those Mormons got those moves. Hint: wasn't in Utah.
Donny’s “Go Away Little Girl” was a big hit in the 70s.
Love the Osmonds. My favorites were Jay and Donny
If you want to hear Donny and Marie sing together, I think you'd like 'I'm A Little Bit Country, I'm A Little Bit Rock 'N' Roll'. - which I think hints at the two of you and the styles you seem to lead towards. ❣
Yes, the Donny and Marie TV show from the 1970s featured the entire family with Donny and Marie outfront, anything they did from their Christmas specials. You can see the entire family, including the mother, father and the older brothers that normally did not perform. They were very good at pretty much everything they did, including ice-skating, and dancing, acting
Before they made it on the Billboard charts, they toured the world over with the Andy Williams Show the variety show they were regulars on. They performed all kinds of music and dance routines. One of them they also continued when they became pop sensations and recorded on their first album was a medley called Motown Special
I love how much fun y'all had with this one! I STILL crush on Donny, and have my Donny and Marie dolls on my desk!
I noticed neither of you closed your eyes!!! ... Yes, the Osmonds are performers to the max, great stage presence that you can't take your eyes off of the. ... YES, DONNY WAS ON MY WALL TOO! lol Still love Donny who continues to perform. He won Dancing With The Stars, and was second runner up on The Masked Singer. Awesome performances!!!
For some reason I think of "Morning Side of the Mountain" as one that Donny and Marie did together.
Beautiful song
I was lucky enough to see them in concert in 1972. It's weird thinking that at 11 years old it was okay for me and a friend to go to a concert without an adult. Wow, things have definitely changed.
I remember watching that evening. I was such an Osmonds fan (still am) and was soooo in love with Donny, lol. They were indeed a world wide sensation, Jay. Check out their song "Hold Her Tight", it really rocks! Great reaction...thanks!
Actually Elvis helped them with their outfits. They were friends and he was impressed with them.
