I remember when a dee jay first played this song a lot of people did not believe it was Donny Osmond. It wasn't until they saw the video that many saw it was really him. Way to go Donny1
I remember Donny Osmond when he was just a kid with his Osmond brothers. A big hit. I had their albums. They like mirror another brother group: The Jackson five.
Donny you need to keep singing. It doesn't matter what you sing. You always knew how to nail a song to perfection. I grew up singing all of your songs. I would play them over, and over We need more clean cut singers with good morals. My sister played your latest CD She said, Guess whose singing I guessed it right off the back. I've always loved your voice. So keep singing my sweet friend! Make more cds. ( albums) lol remember the day they were records, and we used a record player.
There are so many bad covers of this song - Donny makes a fair fist of it. Doesn't make it too falsely sweet, and mostly doesn't overwork the delivery. Good arrangement too. G O'S (who wrote it) is still the gold standard, and someone who understands that more can sometimes be less (vocally) in songs like this, and a gritty, natural delivery preferable to smooth virtuosity; but this is definitely worth listening to. But check out the original for its distinctiveness and out-there honesty.
Donny was a dream to us girls in the 6th grade in 1970-71 school year. He has only grown more handsome. He's like Dick Clark was for so long, never aging.
I was listening to Pink Floyd in his halcyon days.......Ive always loved this song and have to say he did a great Job with it.....He retained the essence of the emotion....well done Donny.....never thought i would ever say that
I like this version.. and I like the original version as well. No need to say leave classics alone.. If you like it you like it, if you don't you don't. Thumbs up to both of these awesome versions.. the comedic Ice age 3 version is nice too.
Great song!! Donny Osmond does an excellent version of this song... its not very often that a remake tops the original, but i believe this is one of those very rare occasions.
@stuthebru I'm not saying that this is Donny's 'song I'm just letting the searcher know that this clip is a song only and not a video. I know that this is not Donny's 'song'.
I agree to some extent. A lot of the Classics would never be heard however if there were never any covers. By listening to this one I am sure G.O.S's version might never have been dicovered by the younger crowd.
@rickw1100 I agree... Donny is one of the most under credited singers... thats not to say he isnt well know for his talent, he just deserves so much more credit.
@rickw1100 Agree, Rick. Recently saw him do a medley of his bubblegum stuff on Graham Norton. His timing and phrasing was excellent and he had the audience captivated. He's never been better.
Donny Osmond was like michael jackson a prodigy singer of the Osmond brothers. Listen to when he was a kid. One of my favaorite singers back in the days.....
what a great find on youtube.. .thank you so much! This is one of he most moving songs and really enjoy listening to Dinnie Osmond's version (love Shirley Bassie's too, and can't forget Gilbert O'Sullivan...)
Well, O'Sullivan wrote it,you should seek out the version by Pete Wylie(The Mighty Wah!),full on emotion,like Pete says it's the cruelest suicide note ever and if the likes of Curt Cobain had written it it would be treated much differently than a twat in a flat cap
Remember Donny singing this in concert last year at Wembley, such a fantastic concert. Remember Donny coming into the audience, could see the top of his head just below me, everyone was going mad ahhh great memories.
just love this song and donny. he justs make your heart melt and make you get so lost in his eyes. just love him.

Sounds like Donny to me. I have always envied his voice. Great vocal range and phrasing.
I grew up listening to "Go Away Little Girl", and "Puppy Love" and loved those songs.
Years later, on his "Donny & Marie" variety show, he performed a rendition of "Baby Come Back" that blew me away.
Great singer and an awesome person.
