Well said Edward Bliss! I had posters of him on my walls as a kid. Now, he is just so wonderful to listen to! Whether he is singing or conversing, I always enjoy hearing and watching this down to earth and talented human being.
So true - my cousins were Cassidy fans and we always had the who's best argument when we met. David Cassidy was a bit more edgy - his stuff was good too but i was a massive fan of Donny; I was in their fan club, had fan club writing paper, had all his records and he was all over my wall. The fact that he married, stayed married and certainly comes across as a gorgeous human being - has meant that he has never let down the pre-teen in me, where so many did. That may sound soppy and silly, but it's about values and instinct and being drawn to someone with good values, even without meeting them, somehow feels good as a solid reflection back.
Girl me too! My Mom use to tease me about him being my crush😂Oh that Osmond boy is on Tammy 😂I would rush to the Tv!! ❤His son as soon as he walked out on the Tv show, I said that’s Donny’s son, my friend says I don’t think so, I said I know so! You don’t have a crush like I did and not know, It’s not over but I guarantee Chris is his son, somebody said Elvis, my friend says yeah that’s right, I said no, If he’s not son then he’s his nephew, can’t wait to prove to my friend I’m right! Still love that Osmond! ❤😂
@@tammyderson6547 You talking about Claim to Fame? My daughter -in -law and I have been watching it, and from day one I KNEW Chris was Donny's son! How can a person not see that? 😄 All I can figure is the fellow contestants have no idea about Donny Osmond! How can that be? 😄😄 They are basically too young??? Donny was before their time? It is hilarious imo that they thought he was related to Elton John! 😄 Perhaps Chris, still being there, will end up the winner lol. As far as being a fan, I did follow their music back then in the 70's, and did watch the Donny and Marie show. 🙂
Back in the day my mother worked for LiveEnt in Toronto when they produced Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (starring Donny). In the office her desk was directly opposite a desk designated for Donny. She was a big fan of his and would often regale us with stories from work. One night she stayed late to make sure a last-minute revision to a script was sent to Donny and he graciously thanked her by sending a bouquet of flowers. She still talks about that fondly these days and what a great, down-to-earth and personable guy he was.
As a 65 year old fan of Donnie. I remember being I Sacramento CA. And watching him during his decade of dissapointment. The crowd was tiny and I stood watching and crying like a star struck 13 yr old girl. But I was a grown rockstar myself who had met and played with all the greats. BUT ONLY DONNIE AND THE LATE DAVID CASSIDY AFFECTED ME IN THAT WAY....TRUE STORY....
That's awesome! I'm 59 this year and I would've felt the same if I would've been there. He certainly can pull the emotions out of me as well. David was amazing as well. Both gorgeous talented guys.
I had always wanted to see Donny in concert. I got my chance when he and Marie came to Albuquerque in 2016. I bought the tickets knowing I had stage 3 cancer. I wasn't able to attend because I was going through chemo and got septic. I was in the ER that weekend. I missed my chance to see Donny and that still bothers me to this day. I have always been a huge fan.
I was at the Rainbow theatre in Finsbury Park 1972 1st concert..its just as I remember, 50 yrs ago saw Donny for my 60th birthday in Bournemouth 2017.. Met Merrill Dec 2021 at the Concorde Club.
I was "in love" with him when I was in junior high, circa 1972. I (and millions of teenagers around the World ) was going to marry him, lol. Never got to meet him or see one of his concerts, but I had his poster pinned on my ceiling and blew him a kiss every night before bed. Ahhh... puppy love. 🙃
I know the feeling, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Same with me, it's been over 40 years, I'm nearing my senior years, and now a professional but still, I felt like a 16 year old kid when it comes to Donny Osmond, the feeling is still the same, never changed a bit. 😊❤️
You are an inspiration "Donny Osmond!" 😊❤️ you have a colorful life with the ups and downs, and yet you are still here! Shining like you've never shine before! You are indeed an inspiration, you have a pure heart, one the nicest celebrities I know and that is the reason you are blessed by our Lord! Sending hugs and love to everyone especially to your siblings! Love you! ❤️ Greetings from the Philippines🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭😘
Even in the 80s I loved Donny. I am sure all his friends also loved him. It was like, where are you? And then Soldier of Love came out and wow....he is back.
I agree! I missed him when he was gone! The fans were still out there waiting for him but he struggled to convince record companies to believe in him. We've always loved you, Donny! ❤️
Thanks for posting this video. Loved it all but Donny is completely wrong on one thing... there are four things that will endure and that fourth thing is his fans! ♥️
I could see how very sad he was when he said he never went to school. That makes me sad. Too bad he couldn't have went for a few years. I think that is wrong. Hopefully he could kind of live vicariously through his children as I'm sure they were in school. God Bless Donny and his brothers and sister. I feel like they are friends I've never met, though I was at their concert in Detroit in 1975. Thrilling for a 12 year old love struck girl! Their music soothes me when I am stressed or not feeling well. Thanks for sharing this with us, Dave.
I was drafted into the Army in Fall of 1967. The night before I left for Basic Training, my Mom and I went to an OsBro show in a tent - theater in the round near Cleveland. The show was great, but afterward we had a chance to talk to Mrs. Osmond and she was very kind and wished me a safe trip. I’ve seen their shows several times since then and have always been a fan. I had no idea what Donny and his brothers went through. Thanks for these videos, Dave.
I have been a fan of the Osmond family since the 70s especially Donny. I am glad that Donny is still performing and a family man. I have seen Donny and Marie in concert and I have also seen Donny recently in Pantoland. I am also looking forward to seeing the Osmond's musical soon.😀
I thought I walked away, gave up donny for segar, benatar, ac/dc, leonard skinard. I was mistaken. Always heard about him and saw the billboards in a hundred feet of neon while he was playing vegas. Fond memories but thought by the time I was in my late 50s, I wouldn't know him anymore. Little show called masked singer. First song, first verse, I screamed THATS DONNY OSMOND! ya never forget the voice of your first crush. Other than elvis (sorry donny). 😁🤗💋
I was very moved, by your story. you gave me strength with my life. thank you. Dr Sung from New Jersey USA so many Ups and Downs. But nothing like your life. I couldn't handle it, you are my Hero
The Osmond’s are the only concert I’ve ever been to in my life and I love them as much now as I did then! We didn’t even sit in our seats, we stayed at the stage taking pictures! Luckily Marie was with them and we left the concert before it was over and went outside hoping to see them up close and low and behold Marie’s limousine pulled out right beside us. She waved at us and we were so excited! They are the greatest! ❤️🥰❤️
Love Donny. He stole my heart at 15years old. Now 66 years and still crazy about him and his family. And we the same age and birthday in the same month. I celebrate his birthday every year in Cape Town South Africa.
Donny was my teenage crush and I will always have those wonderful memories. I still enjoy his music and loved seeing his shows. I would really love to see more about his family life. I am more interested in his children and grandchildren and I am a big fan of Debbie. She must have the patience of Job to be in the background and supporting him for so long. I am so happy that I had a husband that came home every night and spent every weekend with me sharing the responsibilities.
I loved this video Donny. Such an inspiration of honesty, humor, truth, hard work and fortitude. I'm 64 so... yeah. This lit something in me to keep on keeping on no matter what. Words. You're an amazing man my friend. God bless you, your family and may you always have the Lord's blessing on your life. Bravo!!
Wow! There was a lot of cool footage in this documentary. Footage I've never seen. Could it be that the UK has more film of the Osmonds then we do here in the United States.
Thank you so much David for sharing these videos with us . I really enjoy them. It really was such a magical time all of our innocent and dreaming emotions were really on a high. And I was so lucky to meet Donny but I just lost my voice and didn’t know what to say lol and I was 55 at the time. My family and I would sit and watch the Andy Williams show every week here in Ireland . I was only 12 when Donny released Puppy Love, my mother bought it for me as a birthday gift. I also never missed The Donny and Marie show. And now when I watch these videos and hear all of The Osmond songs it take me back to that innocent time. And all of the dreams I had for meeting Donny so dreams do come true you just have to be patient. I wish Donny and his beautiful wife Debbie everything they could wish for, and all of the Osmond’s family the very best of love 💗 I am so lucky to have been here on this earth the same time as you .
Thank you so much David for sharing this video with us. I've loved Donny for as long as I can remember and I'm so genuinely excited and happy for Donny the musician and Donny the family man. He still gets my heart ❤️ summer saulting to this day, and long may it last. I love you Donny 😍 💗
Absolutely loved this Dave. Things that I didn't know. How Donny explained things in his life that has happened t o him and his brothers. I have been a fan since there first album. Saw them twice in Kansas city. And I still have my purple hat. I still enjoy my records they bring back great memories. I will always be a fan and I thank you for giving so much of yourself. Donny your a good man,and family man
I love the Osmonds ..not when l was as a teenager as l was born 1950 but just love those xmas shows i rewatch them every xmas along with all the Andy Williams shows ,pure nostalgia
WOW! What an interesting and touching interview! I knew about all the stuff, but never saw this beautiful interview before. Thanks for sharing it Dave ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I honestly didn't know that you had this particular mini documentary of my 3rd Osmond boo with HD quality footage. I love Donny's point about adversity. He's been in showbiz for 6 decades and still going. Thanks for sharing this when I needed encouragement, Dave. Have a comeback kid Friday and stay preservering...📺🇬🇧💜🐶💘
Just want to say I was a big Osmond fan. From the UK. It was through them that I learned of the LDS church. I was 15 and I got baptised and am now 66 and still an active member. I think I’m surely not the only one.
@Livinglife595, I am so very glad that you found the Church. I am sure that the Osmonds were instrumental in bringing many, many people into the Church. I've been a member my entire life, but oddly, I didn't care for their music when I was a teenager, and I don't remember their music ever being played at Church dances! I didn't even have a crush on any of them. I just turned 65, so I was the right age, but always like older men, as did my sister. My husband is 10 years older than I am, and my sister's husband is 21 years older than she is. Go figure. But, now, I do listen to their music and really do enjoy it.
I just love Donny. I wish I could see his shows live. I live in South Africa. Wrote letters to him in my high school days but never received an answer. I still adore him.
Picture this. Back in the days (the middle to late 70 ) I’m sitting at home dreaming about Donny’s arms to puppy love one minute. Then going to parties hearing and loving KISS . Could come home from a party and hear One bad apple. Now that’s wacky. Can say the osmond have is still first place and KISS isn’t more my cup of tea. Ozzy in now to sick to come back on stage again. The 70 was one wakky time.
Hi Donny, happened to catch your biography on UT, and it took me back to my teens in the early seventies. I have to admit that all the guys wouldn't admit it, that after the Muscle Shoals experience you you were the heart throb of all our teenage girls here, and over the world for that matter. We new it; but still we're somewhat envious of you. But you were their dream, and in our eyes we new that after your song they heard, and or a performance, that they were here for us to persuade them in person for a bit of time with them. They almost all had a poster of Donny on the inside of their bedroom doors, not that I saw personally, but u get my drift. lol Anyway, those were happy, fun memories when we acually were free, happy, and really liked what we called then Bubblegum music. I loved Go Away Little Girl, and didn't, still don't care who knows it. For that errow it was a damn cool, catchy toon that you couldn't help but sing along when it came on our AM Radio, and was really good. So you took a short lived victory; do realize what we would have given to be Donny Osmond for that error of history. What great memories. Also you kept your life as clean possible up to this day because of your faith. That is commendable! Thanks for your talent, and the memories. Phil ps, please just send a thumbs up up if you read. Thx
Mr. Donny Osmond is a class act. I appreciate him as a person and entertainer and I like his family. These are wonderful people that I'll never meet but would endeavor to emulate.
I loved the Osmonds so much. I'm probably around Donnie's age and have memories of parties and dancing to One Bad Apple, etc. When my son graduated from high school we took a vacation and stayed 2 days in San Antonio. I was eager for him to see something at the Majestic because I love that theatre so much. The show that weekend happened to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat! We sat close to the front and Donnie was exactly the same as 25 years before and I enjoyed telling my kids about the Osmonds and the first impact they had on show business and teenage girls! ❤
Dave, you have been consistently awesome with Osmond memorabilia. I finally got to meet Donny last month & even got to be on stage with him for a brief spell. They are a wonderful family & I thank you for sharing what you have. It had to be frightening as a teenage boy to deal with. He turned out to be such a wonderful human being.
I haven't begun watching this yet, but I plan to as I'm curious about the UK version.. we know how popular the Osmonds were over there! Just wanted to say hi Dave, and thanks. 🙂♥️👍👍
The thing I love about Donny is that he’s always been real. He’s a true “Soldier Of Love”! From a musical perspective, not a screaming fan, I’ll always have great respect for him ❤!!
Almost at the end of the video, Donny was singing , Johnny Nash song, " l can see clearly now" that's my mom's favorite song. When l 1972. My mom heard that song on the radio and she told me, to put the volume up. Even though she didn't know English she liked it. So since then that's thee song that in my heart brings memories of her. I've been watching videos of Donny this morning since 4:00am. And to hear that song, Gives me joy that her spirit is by me. And she's my guardian Angel. I love music a lot. Music is therapy to me.. And thank God for it. 3/19/23. 5:18 am.
Donny Osmond sings "W" perfectly both on stage in musical theatre and recording studios. His diphthongs are vocal gems. May generations learn to produce these from his model. Peace be with you...Lukerdog
The Osmonds were and still are the most talented Family! The all play at least one or more instruments too. Donny the youngest at the time, is my all time favorite! In 2023, he will be 66 years young and he is still performing in his award winning show in Vegas. He was the peacock on the first session of, THe MADKED SINGER, and came in 2nd. He won on DANCING WITH THE STARS, and was the oldest winner ever! He has recorded over 65 albums.
I first saw the Osmonds at the Ohio State Fair in the 70s! I loved him and his family after seeing them in Tiger Beat and of course on TV appearances. Also went to concerts in Cleveland, Ohio which was like a dream and I will never forget.
Depuis 1973 lorsque the OSMONDS BROTHERS ont été présentés à PARIS par LINE RENAUD, on était TOUTES amoureuses de Donny, souvenirs d'enfance QUI restera dans ma mémoire
the first time I heard Soldier of Love - I knew -I looked at my daughter- and said " that`s Donny" sad part was I was listening to a classic rock station- she was born in 1990 - she`s also knew who the peacock was on the first show- cause she came to my room to tell me to come hear - finally after 50 yrs my sister treated me to a trip to Vegas to see Donny-it was worth the wait
We always loved him and his family. My sister that was crippled loved them all her life. She wrote many fan letters. They had a large family like ours and I wish she could have met Donny before she died. She loved Merrill too.
Donny was an amazing technician! He made his own guitar peddles and boxes for live instruments, n sold them! My friends were ''proggers'' playing Yes, Genesis, ELP, and Crimson, n Wakeman .....They all knew Donny made stuff for musicians!
🎼that was one of my favorite songs! “🎶think I can make it now the rain is gone☀️🎶” Love All those memories ❤my family - we used to watch you and Your sister 🎶sing together 🎼 when I was young 🌟y’all are Great !! 🌟Elvis is a Preacher🎶PraiseGod🎼
My sister had his posters all over her walls.. Every guy my age wished they could've been him but they'd never admit it.. But through all of it, the success did not destroy him or turn him or his family into pompus jerks.. He grew into a very nice person, father and husband.
After waiting 10 years I finally got to meet him!! In the Biography where they show clips of Donny's music video of I can see clearly now is there a full music video of it?
Donny is so lovely.He’s cheerful,funny and seems very kind.And,of course,he’s very handsome.
I'm falling down the Donny Osmond rabbit hole. I find his life fascinating.
Well said Edward Bliss! I had posters of him on my walls as a kid. Now, he is just so wonderful to listen to! Whether he is singing or conversing, I always enjoy hearing and watching this down to earth and talented human being.
Donny, you have gifts no school could teach… kindness, honesty, patience, love, joy & talent💗🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love this video❤
Same!! I loved him as a kid and so happy he’s doing so great:)❤
Me too, I started a couple of hours ago!
I gave him the biggest hug in 2001, and his little giggle in my ear will always stay with me! He is a gorgeous human being x
So true - my cousins were Cassidy fans and we always had the who's best argument when we met. David Cassidy was a bit more edgy - his stuff was good too but i was a massive fan of Donny; I was in their fan club, had fan club writing paper, had all his records and he was all over my wall. The fact that he married, stayed married and certainly comes across as a gorgeous human being - has meant that he has never let down the pre-teen in me, where so many did. That may sound soppy and silly, but it's about values and instinct and being drawn to someone with good values, even without meeting them, somehow feels good as a solid reflection back.
Lucky you!!! He's the best!
I was crazy in love with Donny Osmond growing up. If I had the chance to meet him I'd faint!
52 years later and he still makes my heart race! 💜
Girl me too! My Mom use to tease me about him being my crush😂Oh that Osmond boy is on Tammy 😂I would rush to the Tv!! ❤His son as soon as he walked out on the Tv show, I said that’s Donny’s son, my friend says I don’t think so, I said I know so!

The Osmonds made my teenage years the best days of my life.
I knew he was big but I never realized he was that big for some people who were growing up then.
As a 65 year old fan of Donnie. I remember being I Sacramento CA. And watching him during his decade of dissapointment. The crowd was tiny and I stood watching and crying like a star struck 13 yr old girl. But I was a grown rockstar myself who had met and played with all the greats. BUT ONLY DONNIE AND THE LATE DAVID CASSIDY AFFECTED ME IN THAT WAY....TRUE STORY....
That's awesome! I'm 59 this year and I would've felt the same if I would've been there. He certainly can pull the emotions out of me as well. David was amazing as well. Both gorgeous talented guys.
It is the beauty of his soul that most inspires me about Donny. That he is so fine looking & has a wonderful voice is icing.
I had always wanted to see Donny in concert. I got my chance when he and Marie came to Albuquerque in 2016. I bought the tickets knowing I had stage 3 cancer.

You are an inspiration "Donny Osmond!" 😊❤️ you have a colorful life with the ups and downs, and yet you are still here!
Shining like you've never shine before! You are indeed an inspiration, you have a pure heart, one the nicest celebrities I know and that is the reason you are blessed by our Lord!
Sending hugs and love to everyone especially to your siblings! Love you! ❤️
Greetings from the Philippines🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭😘
I saw him in Joseph at the Chicago Theater. He was fabulous! ❤
This was great. Would love to see him make one now that he has a million grandchildren.
That would be interesting! Maybe he will.
Even in the 80s I loved Donny. I am sure all his friends also loved him. It was like, where are you? And then Soldier of Love came out and wow....he is back.
I agree! I missed him when he was gone! The fans were still out there waiting for him but he struggled to convince record companies to believe in him. We've always loved you, Donny! ❤️
Such an amazing person! 💜 @Donny Osmond i will always love you! 💜
Thanks for posting this video. Loved it all but Donny is completely wrong on one thing... there are four things that will endure and that fourth thing is his fans! ♥️
I remember very well when Andy Williams first introduced Donny on his show because I was a diehard fan of that show.
I could see how very sad he was when he said he never went to school. That makes me sad. Too bad he couldn't have went for a few years. I think that is wrong. Hopefully he could kind of live vicariously through his children as I'm sure they were in school. God Bless Donny and his brothers and sister. I feel like they are friends I've never met, though I was at their concert in Detroit in 1975. Thrilling for a 12 year old love struck girl! Their music soothes me when I am stressed or not feeling well. Thanks for sharing this with us, Dave.
great interview. the osmond brothers was the first concert I saw at the LA colliseum in the early 70's. great to see his life turned out so well!
Donny was my 1st crush. I was 7. I grew up watching and listening to all the Osmonds. I'm almost 58 and I still love Donny. Karen in Ga

That was brilliant I didn't realise the trials, tribulations and theft in his career.. the message here is never give up .. Donny respect 🙏

Pretty cool. I had no idea he played such a big part of people lives.
I saw *The Osmonds* musical last week, great story, terrific entertainment. I kissed Jay! I was so fangirl I actually couldn’t speak.
Donny was my teenage crush and I will always have those wonderful memories. I still enjoy his music and loved seeing his shows. I would really love to see more about his family life.

WOW! What an interesting and touching interview! I knew about all the stuff, but never saw this beautiful interview before. Thanks for sharing it Dave ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many bands were screwed over by 'advisers' and 'managers' - the Osmonds worked so hard, to lose it must have been hard.
Parasites!!!! Evil people.
I honestly didn't know that you had this particular mini documentary of my 3rd Osmond boo with HD quality footage. I love Donny's point about adversity. He's been in showbiz for 6 decades and still going.
Thanks for sharing this when I needed encouragement, Dave. Have a comeback kid Friday and stay preservering...📺🇬🇧💜🐶💘
Have a good weekend!
@@DavesOsmondVideos. You have a good weekend as well. Thanks again for sharing this.
Just want to say I was a big Osmond fan. From the UK. It was through them that I learned of the LDS church. I was 15 and I got baptised and am now 66 and still an active member. I think I’m surely not the only one.
@Livinglife595, I am so very glad that you found the Church. I am sure that the Osmonds were instrumental in bringing many, many people into the Church. I've been a member my entire life, but oddly, I didn't care for their music when I was a teenager, and I don't remember their music ever being played at Church dances! I didn't even have a crush on any of them. I just turned 65, so I was the right age, but always like older men, as did my sister. My husband is 10 years older than I am, and my sister's husband is 21 years older than she is. Go figure. But, now, I do listen to their music and really do enjoy it.

You’re the best ❤️
The Osmond family, were icons, no one has ever been greater than your husband and family singing
Excellent Documentary!!! Thank you. DAVE!! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Donny Osmond IS the best Joseph ever. I'm so glad he chose to act and be Joseph on stage.
I just love Donny. I wish I could see his shows live. I live in South Africa. Wrote letters to him in my high school days but never received an answer. I still adore him.
I've been a huge fan since 1970❤❤❤The Osmonds were a big part of my teen age years. I still love their music 🎶
Thanks for sharing this beautiful message/ video. Brought back lots of memories & all their songs will last a lifetime! Thanks again Dave.
Saw The Osmonds musical last week and I’ve been down the Osmonds rabbit hole ever since! What an interesting family
I went to see it in stoke on trent! It was fantastic! Which venue were you at?
Awsome in my books for sure when I watched the Donny And Marie Show.
I enjoyed listening to your life story . I have always been a great fan ! I love your music ! Donny Osmond Rocks !!!
Picture this. Back in the days (the middle to late 70 ) I’m sitting at home dreaming about Donny’s arms to puppy love one minute. Then going to parties hearing and loving KISS . Could come home from a party and hear One bad apple. Now that’s wacky. Can say the osmond have is still first place and KISS isn’t more my cup of tea. Ozzy in now to sick to come back on stage again. The 70 was one wakky time.
Sure was! 😄 Glad I got to live through it, aren't you? ✌️ 🙂
When I was11 and 12, I was obsessed with him - he was beautiful and he had the prettiest, sweetest voice. He was a safe guy to have a crush on.
Donnie, my favorite song from you at all times was puppy love
I love reviewing these videos many years after, so fun. Wow, Merrill had an amazing voice. ❤
Hi Donny, happened to catch your biography on UT, and it took me back to my teens in the early seventies. I have to admit that all the guys wouldn't admit it, that after the Muscle Shoals experience you you were the heart throb of all our teenage girls here, and over the world for that matter. We new it; but still we're somewhat envious of you. But you were their dream, and in our eyes we new that after your song they heard, and or a performance, that they were here for us to persuade them in person for a bit of time with them. They almost all had a poster of Donny on the inside of their bedroom doors, not that I saw personally, but u get my drift. lol Anyway, those were happy, fun memories when we acually were free, happy, and really liked what we called then Bubblegum music. I loved Go Away Little Girl, and didn't, still don't care who knows it. For that errow it was a damn cool, catchy toon that you couldn't help but sing along when it came on our AM Radio, and was really good. So you took a short lived victory; do realize what we would have given to be Donny Osmond for that error of history. What great memories. Also you kept your life as clean possible up to this day because of your faith. That is commendable! Thanks for your talent, and the memories. Phil ps, please just send a thumbs up up if you read. Thx
Thank you so much for sharing this xx
So hard to believe❗️
Mr. & Mrs. Osmond did such a wonderful job with their children. An absolutely beautiful family!
Mr. Donny Osmond is a class act. I appreciate him as a person and entertainer and I like his family. These are wonderful people that I'll never meet but would endeavor to emulate.
A gorgeous man that can still make us swoon. They just don't make them like Donny.
I loved the Osmonds so much. I'm probably around Donnie's age and have memories of parties and dancing to One Bad Apple, etc. When my son graduated from high school we took a vacation and stayed 2 days in San Antonio. I was eager for him to see something at the Majestic because I love that theatre so much. The show that weekend happened to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat! We sat close to the front and Donnie was exactly the same as 25 years before and I enjoyed telling my kids about the Osmonds and the first impact they had on show business and teenage girls! ❤
Dave, you have been consistently awesome with Osmond memorabilia. I finally got to meet Donny last month & even got to be on stage with him for a brief spell. They are a wonderful family & I thank you for sharing what you have. It had to be frightening as a teenage boy to deal with. He turned out to be such a wonderful human being.
That is awesome!
I love him so much💜💜
I haven't begun watching this yet, but I plan to as I'm curious about the UK version.. we know how popular the Osmonds were over there! Just wanted to say hi Dave, and thanks. 🙂♥️👍👍
Hi! Have a good weekend :)
I’ll always love Donny Osmond!
years and is just as good
A wonderful video!
The thing I love about Donny is that he’s always been real. He’s a true “Soldier Of Love”! From a musical perspective, not a screaming fan, I’ll always have great respect for him ❤!!
I didn't forget you Donny
Donny, Nobody is perfect and I'm not either, and I'm so happy that you're not perfect. We all have love for you just the way you are❤🙏
I love Donny Osmond.
Almost at the end of the video, Donny was singing , Johnny Nash song, " l can see clearly now" that's my mom's favorite song. When l 1972. My mom heard that song on the radio and she told me, to put the volume up. Even though she didn't know English she liked it. So since then that's thee song that in my heart brings memories of her. I've been watching videos of Donny this morning since 4:00am. And to hear that song, Gives me joy that her spirit is by me. And she's my guardian Angel.
I love music a lot. Music is therapy to me..
And thank God for it. 3/19/23. 5:18 am.
My sister and I are going to see him perform and meet him in may!!!! Osmonds fan since....wow....long time!!!!
Donny Osmond sings "W" perfectly both on stage in musical theatre and recording studios. His diphthongs are vocal gems. May generations learn to produce these from his model.
Peace be with you...Lukerdog
Donny, you're one of the coolest, because you're honest and real and talented and handsome, people around. You are very much loved as an artist.
My fav of the brothers r Wayne and Merrill both great guys love them both
I'm very glad the brothers were together & Donny had Michael as a friend during those times because they were going thru the same thing.
The Osmonds were and still are the most talented Family! The all play at least one or more instruments too.
Donny the youngest at the time, is my all time favorite! In 2023, he will be 66 years young and he is still performing in his award winning show in Vegas.
He was the peacock on the first session of, THe MADKED SINGER, and came in 2nd. He won on DANCING WITH THE STARS, and was the oldest winner ever!
He has recorded over 65 albums.
I first saw the Osmonds at the Ohio State Fair in the 70s! I loved him and his family after seeing them in Tiger Beat and of course on TV appearances. Also went to concerts in Cleveland, Ohio which was like a dream and I will never forget.
Depuis 1973 lorsque the OSMONDS BROTHERS ont été présentés à PARIS par LINE RENAUD, on était TOUTES amoureuses de Donny, souvenirs d'enfance QUI restera dans ma mémoire
I'm a big, big fan
❤ this!! And btw... Donnie, and his Voice, is simply Ageless! 🤗 👍
Would love to see the command performance again. It was outstanding.
the first time I heard Soldier of Love - I knew -I looked at my daughter- and said " that`s Donny" sad part was I was listening to a classic rock station- she was born in 1990 - she`s also knew who the peacock was on the first show- cause she came to my room to tell me to come hear - finally after 50 yrs my sister treated me to a trip to Vegas to see Donny-it was worth the wait
We always loved him and his family. My sister that was crippled loved them all her life. She wrote many fan letters. They had a large family like ours and I wish she could have met Donny before she died. She loved Merrill too.
My first love, still have nothing but admiration for you Donny
Donny was an amazing technician! He made his own guitar peddles and boxes for live instruments, n sold them! My friends were ''proggers'' playing Yes, Genesis, ELP, and Crimson, n Wakeman .....They all knew Donny made stuff for musicians!
🎼that was one of my favorite songs! “🎶think I can make it now the rain is gone☀️🎶” Love All those memories ❤my family - we used to watch you and Your sister 🎶sing together 🎼 when I was young 🌟y’all are Great !! 🌟Elvis is a Preacher🎶PraiseGod🎼
My sister had his posters all over her walls.. Every guy my age wished they could've been him but they'd never admit it.. But through all of it, the success did not destroy him or turn him or his family into pompus jerks.. He grew into a very nice person, father and husband.
After waiting 10 years I finally got to meet him!! In the Biography where they show clips of Donny's music video of I can see clearly now is there a full music video of it?
I love Donny he is a lovely gentle man.
💗💗
