Father Osmond did not mismanage the funds.....he helped to build the empire to 80+ million dollars....it was after they made the move back to Utah that he gave up control to "professionals" that proceeded to make bad investments and steal from them that everything went into the toilet. But this family kept their integrity and their honor and did not in turn cheat the people that they owed money to by filing bankruptcy....they worked their way out of their debt.
That is true but it could be looked at in any different ways. Joe Jackson may have pushed to much but he gave them a work ethic that put 5 black boys in the 70's coming off Jim Crow and civil rights at the top oif the charts and kept them there. He gave Michael the determination that made him into a superstar. I dont know if he abuse them, I wasnt there but the odds were against them and he got them to the top and beyond
I agree with what you said about Joe Jackson although it is a well known fact that he was abusive to his children and basically ignored his daughters.
What people forget about George Osmond, the family of the Osmand clan, is that he mismanaged his children's money to such an extint that after working for 25 years and reaching their 30s, the boys had nothing. This is why they split up and went their separate ways. Speak bad about Joe, but he did not mismanage his children's affairs.
These are the original four Osmond Brothers. For several years Donny has pretty much done his own thing. He preforms with the brothers at reunion things, but now it is usually Merrill, Wayne Jay and Jimmy, or some combination of the four, who do concerts together. Whatever combination of Osmonds you get is wonderful. They are all awesome.
Get song:this shows that the Osmonds are the Beatles.

This version is pretty much the Earth Wind & Fire version, so my guess is the year on this is 78 or 79.

he did abuse them, he hit MJ if he missed
a step in the dance steps...sorry abuse doesn't justify the means...many people have had determination w/out the abuse..
which led to many of Michaels problems later on...

It is a Beatles song, but the Osbros used the Earth, Wind and Fire arrangement for this show.
What always gets me is how GOOD each one was vocally. Listen to each brother sing his solo. Not a clinker voice in the bunch.
LordoftheGeeks 2 years ago
Good grief! You gotta be kidding. Osbros just a bad J5 ripoff, like Britney is of Janet and Beyonce.
Even tho its a Beatles song, EWF made it sound like it was meant for them.

Here in England we had only 3 T.V channels up until the 1980's so it's great to watch the old US film of the Osmonds... great up load.

Still great. Great sound BUT don't like it as a QUARTET - there's FIVE in The Osmonds.
I know Donny seemed to get a bit above himself BUT they still looked better as a QUINTET......
