Im 73 years old and have been a fan of the Osmonds since they first appeared on The Andy Williams Show. Though most are now retired, Donny and Marie still perform. The Osmonds have been performing for 50 + years and play over 20 instruments.
The "little kid", Donny is growing strong with a show in Las Vegas! LOVE the Osmonds for over 50 years!!!! Fan for life! Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie & Jimmy! 💜😇💜
Thanks for listening nd enjoying my childhood music. The 70's was a pretty amazing decade for music! I had life size posters in my room of The Osmond's and The Jackson 5...I'm 60 now and still love hearing this music!
I grew up in the 70s..The Osmonds and the Jackson 5 were everywhere... They were also good friends. Donny and Michael especially. Actually the Osmonds came first. They sang and performed in the early 60s already on shows like the Andy Williams show. I think Donnys first time out he was 4. My walls were covered with Donny, Michael and David Cassidy.
In response to the J5 hitting the pop charts, the osmonds pivoted from their barbershop genre roots to pop rock. One bad apple the song was submitted to but turned down by 75. 2 amazing family acts
Yes the Osmond and the Jackson 5 were boy band rivals but actually were good friends. This song was written for the Jackson 5 but the Osmonds ended up with it and it was a major hit.
In turn Ben was suppose to be for Donny Osmond, but he was busy and suggested Michael Jackson do it ❤❤❤ I wish the two families could have done a " once in a lifetime concert" the $$$ could have gone to charities.
@@barbiemakris8057 yes that would have been great! I heard Donny was supposed to sing Ben. He would have done a great job on it too I'm sure but ot was meant for Michael to do it.
The Osmonds had a Saturday morning cartoon and this was the intro song. I suggest playing Crazy Horses. It is a bit crazy but was one of the hardest rock songs of the year when it came out. The Osmonds came from the city that I currently live. The four older boys had a barber shop quartet and were performing at Disneyland. They came to the attention of Andy Williams and became regulars on his weekly TV show and did whatever they asked them to. Don't eventually joined the group and became the main focus of stand even though his brother Merrill sang the majority of the song leads. Donny and their sister Marie joined up and had a TV show and a couple of hit records. Donny was also the one that has a solo career.
They were close friends with the Jackson 5. Donny is the youngest here. He was there for Micheals Mom when he passed away. The media tried to pit them against each other. It was a lie. They had a lot in common. Hope you'll listen to both of them☮️
It's so nice to see a young man like yourself open your mind to good music regardless of time or genre. Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond were actually friends! Keep up the great reactions, I'm looking forward to watching your videos as a new subscriber!
Yeah, this came in an animated version on Saturday mornings when cartoons like The Banana Splits and HR Puff & Stuff were on. A few years later, it was Sean Cassidy! Fun times!
I'm 54 years okd and the song sounds as good as it did way back when... Thank you for tears of joy. Damn. I miss the simple times. 😢 Tears of joy come when you hear a song and know there's two friends who are no longer with us. Wow! This sure brings back the good times...😁
Lol The Osmonds and Jackson 5 were rival bands back in the day!! Haha 😄 They were teen idols! Hey I'm 59 !! I saw them in concert when I was 6 years old!! They were top act 1970!!! Donny Osmond is now in 60s !!! He still sings awesome too!! He won 🏆 Dancing with the Stars dance show! OSMONDS HAD A SISTER TOO!! MARIE ! SHES ON THE WEIGHT WATCHERS COMMERCIALS !! LOL 😆 AND SHE WAS A SUPER STAR SINGER TOO!
The Osmonds started in 1959 with just the older brothers without Donny. They were discovered by Disneyland executives and hired. Andy Williams saw them there and signed them to appear as regular singers on his NBC-TV show.
Jackson 5 had their first pop hit in 1969 and the Osmonds had their first pop hit in 1971. This song, "One Bad Apple" was originally written for the Jackson 5 and Berry Gordy turned it down, so the Osmonds recorded it instead. Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond (the kid in this video) did sound alike when they were young -- they both had that high angelic little kid voice. In fact, the song "Ben" was originally written for Donny Osmond to sing and Donny Osmond couldn't record the song "Ben" because he was out on the road touring with his brothers, so because Michael Jackson also had a high voice, they asked Michael Jackson to record the song instead and it ended up being Michael Jackson's first solo hit. Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond did have a connection and were friendly as they both had a lot in common when they were growing up. They both came from big families, both were pushed out in front as "the stars" of the group, both had a lot of pressure put upon them, both had demanding fathers (although George Osmond wasn't abusive, he did demand a lot from his kids). Both groups were equally successful in the early 70s, although the Jacksons had more hits. Then Donny Osmond did a very popular TV show in the late 70s, but once the show was canceled, his career struggled and then Michael Jackson hit super stardom with his albums "Off the Wall" and "Thriller". The 80s were not kind to Donny Osmond career wise, but he did eventually regroup and did alright for himself with Broadway and Las Vegas where he still performs.
Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson were friends. He was a true teenage heartrob and I had posters of him all over my bedroom walls and also love the Jackson 5. Both Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson were the number 7 child in their families both of their Mother's shared the same birthday, and both of their Mother's played musical instruments. They were both huge at the same time. Donny is currently a #1 show in Las Vegas and I just saw him on his Summer Tour. He has had 65 alburms. I love this verson of Breeze on By and Don't Stop: th-cam.com/video/ZvP0VPoy_uk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AkLQNwxR0yhbEDvQ
Thanks for bringing some good memories! When I was a little kid, it was the Jackson 5 and the Osmonds on Saturday morning. I personally thought the Jacksons were way cooler but both groups deserve to be remembered with a smile
This song was recorded at a studio about a mile from my house. It was originally offered to the Jackson 5 but they decided on ABC instead. Later, Donny said in an interview he and Michael were in talks about doing an album together but Michael passed before it got started.
Michael and Donny [that little kid] are very close in age. The Jackson 5 and The Osmond Brothers had their own animated series that would air back to back on Saturday mornings
I watched an interview with the Jackson 5 and they were saying how their father used to make them watch the Osmonds to learn from them as the Osmonds were out a good bit before the Jackson 5. I thought the Osmonds were great and I am also a huge Jackson 5 fan as well. Absolutely loved your reaction.
Marie Osmond, their sister, has an album called “I Can Do This”. There are two songs on the album that blow me away every time I hear them. They are: “Pie Jesu”; and “Ave Verum Corpus”. I always knew she could sing, but it wasn’t until I heard her sing these two songs that I realized what an incredible voice she has. 😊😊😊😊
@Dean Bros It's so fun to see your eyes widen and hearing you exclaim about the similarities between the Osmond brothers & the Jackson 5, while simultaneously, I know that; yes, their careers ran almost parallel to one another, Donny and Michael were friends, the Jackson 5 were told to watch the Osmonds to pick up a few things, (and I'm pretty sure the Osmonds equally checked the Jackson 5's style too), and lastly, the Jackson 5 didn't have time to accept/cut One Bad Apple when it was written with them in mind to perform it, (they were touring), so it was offered/given to The Osmonds instead! These 2 groups were all the shite in my childhood-teen & I remained a fan of Donny's solo hits and Michael's & the love hasn't changed since! Both groups had their own cartoon show every Saturday. Both ran tours around the globe. And both Donny & Michael branched off their brothers' group to launch successful solo careers. Michael changed music forever, crossing racial & genre boundaries to unite people, simply through their love and admiration for his wonderously, gifted talents. He is had our hearts from his first appearance! He remains unmatched/unsurpassed in his dance, musical genuis & legendary stage performances. His written messages that he sang to the world were life changing & remain the same relevant & necessary calls of action for mankind to finally reach a humble state of being that serves a purpose greater than themselves! Shut up, I'ma cry! I've loved him since I was 6-7 yrs old. Grew up with him in my ear or watching him perform & continued until his tragic murder.I miss him more. Donny also branched off for a solo career, then was front stage with his baby sister Marie, on a weekly t.v. variety show, where he was 'a little bit rock and roll' and Marie was 'a little bit country'; (music), while the rest of the Osmond brothers were hard at work, behind the scenes, producing, editing, & creating the show from their studio in Utah. It was successful for several years. The Osmonds were loved and a number one hit for so many years, performing regularly, in Branson Missouri & retired a few years ago. They've always been in our view and doing something fab. Donny & Marie did many cruise tours, Marie made several country hits, they did a weekly talk show, & Donny put out another song just a few years ago. Just to name a few things. They still sing just as great as ever, never having lost their fans or talent! That's just a small summary. Fun fact: Donny dances beside Weird Al in his White and Nerdy video. These two groups are a legendary and timelessly acclaimed. I am proud that they have always been, the very firsts of hosts of great people, whom I've admired my entire lifetime & still turn to for adding joy& happiness to my life; all through their gifted talents in music & dance, as well as, all that they've shared with us. Iconic and unsurpassed, they truly have left and will leave a legacy for all to enjoy!

Donny is the little kid. He started singing at age 5. The 4 older boys started out as Barbershop Quartet in 1958. Michael and Donny became very close friends. Donny wrote a song and wanted to record it with Michael, but that was when all the scandals came around on Michael, then Michael passed away. Donny sang it at his Vegas show. Donny does a rap song about his life, but he had a contest for someone to sing parts of that song since he can not hit those notes like he did then. It's so hard to believe Donny has been in show business for 60 years now.
Donny Osmond, the young singer there. He the same age as Michael Jackson in the rest of the group is pretty much the same age as the Jackson 5. They're all just as talented too. They all play the own interests just like the Jackson 5.
You are awesome! Glad you can appreciate really good music! You should watch them perform Down by the Lazy River and Crazy Horses ( a rock sound way ahead of its time). Peace to you my friend!
The Osmonds were very talented brothers who could sing and dance and who each could play a minimum of 4 instruments. Their peak came in 1974 with their concept-album The Plan which they largely wrote and produced themselves, which is incredible because they were only 25, 23, 21, 19 and 17 years old at that time. You should really listen to it in its entirety: th-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_ksp4_0tCEa5C1SP1ZFUTtwQdTXizOZwZ0.html Another great clip is YoYo th-cam.com/video/jlA-z0du1Pg/w-d-xo.html. The youngest brother in this clip (not of the family, because that is Jimmy) is Donny Osmond (1957) who became the break-out idol of the group of brothers and - like Michael Jackson - became a big solo artist, but also spent several years as a duo with their only sister, Marie. Much later he was THE BEST Joseph in Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat and sang some great songs there, from the movie: Any Dream Will Do th-cam.com/video/z5Lg4trPUJc/w-d-xo.html and Close Every Door th-cam.com/video/d8reEiq4ui8/w-d-xo.html and live Any Dream Will Do th-cam.com/video/a2r6tYg1VEY/w-d-xo.html Close Every Door th-cam.com/video/zbQ9SvTo88g/w-d-xo.html. You should also watch (and please react to) a really unique clip where he did not know he was doing an interview with a fake reporter in Holland: th-cam.com/video/-KeQrYFkeEE/w-d-xo.html
The Osmonds & Jackson’s came up the same time. Both Michael and Donny were the show stoppers. Donny interview about his friendship with MJ: th-cam.com/video/Vna7h49IXGM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_RCEkRDWnrFY87ey
If you reacted to White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic, then you saw the dude dancing in the background behind Al. That was the little kid aka Donnie Osmond. He was making fun of himself. LOL
Also LovTadDixie, Yes this was originally written for the Jacksons to perform BUT furthermore BEN a song made #1 by Michael jackson was written for the Osmonds, but hte odmonds were to busy to do it.
They're all brothers. Donny is the youngest. In the 1960's, I can't remember what year, probably 1962 of 1963. Andy Williams introduced America to the Osmonds on his variety show. Then after the older Osmonds performed many times on Andy Williams show, one day I guess the family thought it was time to introduce Donny. He must have been about 7 or 8. The rest is history.
Back in the 70s, this was one of the few songs that were played on soul music stations. I remember when this song was the number-one song in the nation.
They come out about the same time that the Jackson five and the little one is Donnie he wasn’t on to have a good career in the late 70’s he has a show with his sis yet Marie
At that time they didn't have a choice on what they sang. I don't know how people can call them the white Jackson5 when the Jackson5 don't even tap dance.
@@cindyerick2968 and i dont know why they called them the "white jackson 5" when they actually did motown before them and they actually wore the reason the jackson 5 wore a band
the Osmonds have been preforming since 1963. they are the white Jacksons- L O L- the j acksons and the Osmonds were good friends- Donny [the iittle guy] was the only person in the world ,who invited Michael to his home, when MJ was having hard times, anyway-both families had 9 children- their mothers had the same birthdays
I’m 64 and I cant tell you the joy it gives me to see a young man of today appreciate the good happy vibes of this song 👊🏻
Im 73 years old and have been a fan of the Osmonds since they first appeared on The Andy Williams Show. Though most are now retired, Donny and Marie still perform. The Osmonds have been performing for 50 + years and play over 20 instruments.
You must hear their "Crazy Horses" and "Down By The Lazy River"
Yes, absolutely!!
When I was a kid about 1973 there was a Jackson 5 cartoon and an Osmonds cartoon on Saturday mornings.
I have both on cd. I love them cartoons.
Osmonds were popular all over the world....they were singing way before the Jackson 5
Donnie Osmond, still around, You seen him in the background dancing in Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" video.

This took me right back to my childhood. This song was the soundtrack to their animated series in the 1970s
Yesss! Lol forgot about that!
Yeah, this came in an animated version on Saturday mornings when cartoons like The Banana Splits and HR Puff & Stuff were on. A few years later, it was Sean Cassidy! Fun times!
Jackson and Osmond were around at the same time. They were friends. Whites loved the Jackson and blacks loved Osmond.
That boy is now 65

The Osmonds were out before and during the Jacksons
Their little sister, Marie Osmond place third on Dancin' with the Stars in 2007. Donnie won it all in 2009.

The Osmonds and the Jackson5 were good friends. Donny Osmond is the "little kid". *grin*
I wore purple socks because Donny liked purple!
Fun kid times!❤
Check out The Osmond's "Crazy Horses" or "My Drum". Phase 4 was a harder sound.
Love your energy and optimism!!
I really liked both groups that came out around the same time. Why one was promoted over the other I don't know. Those were great times for music.
Donny Osmond, the young singer there. He the same age as Michael Jackson in the rest of the group is pretty much the same age as the Jackson 5. They're all just as talented too. They all play the own interests just like the Jackson 5.
Actually Donny and Micheal were good friends back in the 70s
"Invited to the cookout" Most definitely!
You are awesome! Glad you can appreciate really good music! You should watch them perform Down by the Lazy River and Crazy Horses ( a rock sound way ahead of its time). Peace to you my friend!
That’s Donny Osmond listen to sacred emotion & soldier of love & would I lie to you. He’s great so are crazy horses by the osmonds
That little boy named Donny Osmunson starred for 6 years as Joseph in Joseph and the amazing colored voat
Osmunson? What?
Donny had cameo appearances in two “King of Queens” episodes. 😊😊😊😊
that little guy is now 65 yrs- headlining in Las Vegas = for the last 15 yrs
Later on they asked Elvis if he would mind if they wore white jump suits like his and he even got his Tailor to make them for the Osmonds !

The youngest brother in this clip (not of the family, because that is Jimmy) is Donny Osmond (1957) who became the break-out idol of the group of brothers and - like Michael Jackson - became a big solo artist, but also spent several years as a duo with their only sister, Marie. Much later he was THE BEST Joseph in Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat and sang some great songs there, from the movie: Any Dream Will Do th-cam.com/video/z5Lg4trPUJc/w-d-xo.html and Close Every Door th-cam.com/video/d8reEiq4ui8/w-d-xo.html and live Any Dream Will Do th-cam.com/video/a2r6tYg1VEY/w-d-xo.html Close Every Door th-cam.com/video/zbQ9SvTo88g/w-d-xo.html. You should also watch (and please react to) a really unique clip where he did not know he was doing an interview with a fake reporter in Holland: th-cam.com/video/-KeQrYFkeEE/w-d-xo.html
they were out the same time as the jackson 5, and donnie osmond was aS POPULAR AS MICHAEL JACKSON IN THE DAY
If you like the "little one's" voice, you should check out his two other songs: "Soldier of Love" and "I'll Make A Man Out of You".
You should react to the song "Yo Yo" by them, on the Flip Wilson show. It's baaaad.
The song was written with the Jackon 5 in mind and according to michael jackson they almost recorded it frst.
the came out BEFORE the jackson 5 so, it's the jackson 5 being the new osmonds
Donnie is still rockin in Vegas..love the Osmonds
The Osmonds are the best and the little one is donny osmond 🌟
Check out One Way Ticket, Down by the Lazy River and Crazy Horses by the Osmonds
Donny and Micheal were friends to the end!! ♥️
The young one is Donny and he and sister Marie had a TV show of their own in the 80s
The Osmonds & Jackson’s came up the same time.
Both Michael and Donny were the show stoppers.
Donny interview about his friendship with MJ:

The Jackson 5 and the Osmonds were popular at the same time
If you reacted to White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic, then you saw the dude dancing in the background behind Al. That was the little kid aka Donnie Osmond. He was making fun of himself. LOL
Also LovTadDixie, Yes this was originally written for the Jacksons to perform BUT furthermore BEN a song made #1 by Michael jackson was written for the Osmonds, but hte odmonds were to busy to do it.
However, the Osmonds were before the Jackson 5. The Osmonds were a regular on the Andy Williams show back in the 60s.
They're all brothers. Donny is the youngest. In the 1960's, I can't remember what year, probably 1962 of 1963. Andy Williams introduced America to the Osmonds on his variety show. Then after the older Osmonds performed many times on Andy Williams show, one day I guess the family thought it was time to introduce Donny. He must have been about 7 or 8. The rest is history.
He was 5.
They were before the Jackson 5
that little guy is now over 60 yrs old that is Donnie Osmond
MO town music. Donny Osmond never heard of him..lol.. they had there own show and a cartoon show back in the 70's two
Yep, we was saying the same thing back then. And they were Mormons from Utah
The little kid is Donny Osmond
Little kid is Donny Osmond.
Osmonds-Crazy Horses
One Bad Apple written for Mj but he turned. It away and was given to Donny. Donny explained it during an interview
You either liked David Cassidy or Donny Osmond in the early 70's. I liked David - but the Osmonds still had some good songs!! I loved the J5 too.
Listen to Crazy Horses. YoYo, and HoldHer Tight by the Osmonds
Back in the 70s, this was one of the few songs that were played on soul music stations. I remember when this song was the number-one song in the nation.
They come out about the same time that the Jackson five and the little one is Donnie he wasn’t on to have a good career in the late 70’s he has a show with his sis yet Marie
It's a bushel of apples. It's a bunch of bananas. Probably a bit late to change it, though.
The young one is Donny Osmond
Donny was #1with the Osmonnds... youngest.. Just like Michael was the younges of the Jackson''''sl It was always Donny and Michael.
Donny & Michael were good friends.
Merrill was the lead and Donny was the little guy lol
This song was originally offered to the Jackson 5 but it was declined by them.
You need to check out Donny Osmonds NEW album "Who".
A little kid is now 65 years old
Don't you mean the white Jackson 5 at that time
At that time they didn't have a choice on what they sang. I don't know how people can call them the white Jackson5 when the Jackson5 don't even tap dance.
@@cindyerick2968 and i dont know why they called them the "white jackson 5" when they actually did motown before them and they actually wore the reason the jackson 5 wore a band
On top of everything else, the Osmonds have been on tv since 1962.
@@cindyerick2968
This what happens when people don't do research.
They were out at the same time. Michael and Donny
But you are right.young Donny and a young Michael Jackson you cannot tell the difference
the Osmonds have been preforming since 1963. they are the white Jacksons- L O L- the j acksons and the Osmonds were good friends- Donny [the iittle guy] was the only person in the world ,who invited Michael to his home, when MJ was having hard times, anyway-both families had 9 children- their mothers had the same birthdays
The Osmonds had a #1 hit before the Jackson 5. Both families were friends.
Back in the days Good group
White Jackson bro version
The song was written for the Jackson 5 but they turned it down.
