Been friends of the Osmonds for more than 40 years. Fantastic family. But as good as this version is, I have to say that Elvis OWNS this song. He being a southern boy himself, he sang this with unmatched emotion, as only the king of rock and roll could. Check out his version sang during his Aloha from Hawaii concert.

I saw them sing this live, in 2001. They had a video montage playing with patriotic and Christian symbolism. Very touching.

I like this.

I saw Alan Wayne and Merrill at Wembley Arena in 1985 during this phase of their careers and they were fabulous. The country style really suited them and yes, they did look so handsome. I remember giving Alan a hug and his aftershave smelt so gorgeous. I have a photo of us together and I have the biggest beaming smile ever! Memories... wonderful ones :)

[MickeyNewburyMusic]

Do yourself a favor and listen to Mickey Newbury's version. After all, none of us would be singing the song if it weren't for him.

[budbutcher]

Why do they even try its horrible

[Mahe34]

This is good not as good as Elvis but good.

[JAARNO88]

I think the main with elvis doing this song is...he was a southerner and he lived the song.

[seabee23419]

I am a die hard Elvis Fan. No one has ever done this better. Elvis made this song. He was America's son. A man who step away from fame and fortune to answer America's bugle call, hanging up his guitar and his blue suede shoes in exchange for a rifle and combat boots. Elvis served with a tank unit! Patriotic. But, these fellas here are as pure as a baby's soul. They are, without a doubt, good at what they do. They love God and country and this song fits them in their own way.

@seabee23419

Elvis didn't run to answer a call..he was drafted....and he served in Germany well away from anything that could hurt him LOL

[votemitt]

@seabee23419 The Osmond family were good friends with Elvis and the story goes that he told the boys to sing an American trilogy often to remember our great country.

[2Catangel]

Merrill has an amazing voice! His vocals on his Gospel album are just as great.

[tjsece]

Nice beards guys.

[HayleyLisa1]

The osmonds changed the song into a boy band song.Only Elvis can singing this the best! Elvis RULES

[morgandrim]

Hi HayleyLisa1. I grew up with E, The Osmonds, T - rex, Slade and all that. And I liked most of them. But you`re absolutely right. There are some songs which have to be left to Elvis alone. This being one of them.

[infinera06]

Merrill has best voice of the 3, but only Elvis can do this song right.

[luvrof70s]

Alan could have been a male model! HOTTIE!

[lizgarrido]

oh Wayne

[purpleaudkoala]

Love this.. Merrill looks so beautiful here and doesn't Alan so look like Howard Keel in 7 brides for 7 brothers ??

[lynjef7]

when ever I watch this clip I always wish I could have seen them at this time in their lives Merrill is just to die for OMG.

Lyn (mwah)

[Dana888dana]

Thanks for posting this video of Merrill in the 80's! I totally agree; I wish I could have seen them back then; Merrill looks so darn hot!

[Dana888dana]

Totally agree! I was busy being a dorm parent in my 20's and of course no You Tube at that time . .. Boy the guys were super hot during this stage of their lives!

[Dana888dana]

Yes, and Howard Keel sure was a hottie especially loved him in "Showboat". So tall, dark, and handsome!

[hoootooowl]

@purpleaudkoala Merrill DOES indeed look like Howard Keel! Seven Brides is one of my absolute favorite movies of all times second only to King and I!! Great observation!!

[danelvis71]

[lynjef7]

Elvis would be proud.

[danelvis71]

I, like the rest try to do my best!!! I love the song,and would be disapointed to not do it jusice.YOU GUYS DID A FANTASIC JOB!!! KEEP IT UP!!!THANKS!

[shunlvswx]

Alan and Merrill look so much alike in this video. I don't know. Its something about Alan and his beard. He's soo darn sexy.

I think the brothers did a great job with this song. I heard Elvis' version too and I can say both versions are great.

Great video.

[kerndogm]

[kerndogm]

This was filmed in Orlando Fl. at a place called the Cheyenne Saloon. I could kick myself because back in the 80's I lived about 20 minutes from Orlando and didn't know they were going to be there! ugh!!!

[Anna9563]

From Anna,

Hi Kerdogm, Thanks for the info. I bet you were upset with yourself. LOL. Anna.

[kerndogm]

I'm still kicking myself to this day!

[Anna9563]

From Anna,

Hi Kerndogm, Maybe you can see them some other time.

Anna

[kerndogm]

Anna, I saw them in Vegas last year and it was great but they sure didn't look the way they did back in the 80's. WHOA!!!

[Anna9563]

From Anna,

Hi Kerndogm, Oh I'm sure.

Your friend,
