[mcmannequin]

that is NOT marie...look that the title of the video!!

[FilmsRreel]

Marie is towards the end of the video

[whiplash567]

marie was waay to skinny in this one. she looks un-naturally thin. but i heard that she was told to starve herself, so i dont blame her.

[kirchfam]

Thanks for the video.

[chickchickxx]

yeah, she was very skinny in this video... though that wasnt her fault. she was told in privite that she was a disgrace to the family and she had to loose weight other wise they would end the show and she was not to tell anyone about it.. love them both! xx

[58raz]

This was probablythe only time in Marie's life where you can call her sexy.

[gatoguts]

rita coolidge is one of those rare female singers i really enjoy listening to..she is the opposite of shrill, whatever that word is

[tonnyosmond]

i have the best of donny and marie ,but this isnot there so thank you for posting it .

[x0abbiex0]

omg marie is very skinny but she still sounds good as ever

[drpepperlover123]

that was marie in the purple!??! wow.. she was too skinny...

[MarieOsmondFan4ever]

Marie was WAY too thin in this video! She sang really well though!

I think she looks a lot better now days than she did here.

[DonnyAndMarieFan]

Wow. Something sure is wrong with Marie in this video. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but she was REALLY skinny. She still sang good though. What year was this video? Anyway, everyone performed great on this video.

[finers09]

Marie was VERY thin in this video, i think its the thinnest ive seen her. You can see it in her face & I think she looks alot better not so thin. :(

[swampzoid]

i use to have the single "you" by rita coolidge...i think it was about 79 or 80. it's funny hearing it again with donny singing on it but what's really strange is that i remember marie singing "reminicing" but i don't remember rita being on the show. i must've been in the bathroom during her appearence.

[jorgealbertobaron]

gran cantante

[snizzzz]

Apparently it's "You" by Marcia Hines.

[mirosal]

Yes please... someone, ANYone... what is the name of that song Donny and Rita sing together.. please??? anyone?? This song has been going through my head for 30 years, I'd like closure please!! lol

[snizzzz]

What is the song Donny & Rita song? Haven't heard it in 9 million years. The lyrics are so common it's impossible to Google....

[mlbailey312]

The song is called "You" and was written by Tom Snow. It is from Rita's 1978 album Love Me Again. "You" was released as a single in July 1978 and peaked at number 25 on the pop charts. The song is available an several of Rita's Greatest Hits packages.

to edld46 Donny has been married to Debbie for 29 years and they have 5 sons. Donny's son Jeremy is married and Donny is a grandfather to a beautiful little boy from Jeremy and Melissa. Marie's first marriage to Stephen Craig ended in divorce because of his infidelities. She had one son with him, Stephen junior. She married Brain Blosil in the mid to late 80's and they have two biological children and adopted five more. Marie just divorced Brian this year.

Looks like Rita might have been a little nervous in the duet. Donny does a nice job in keeping her calm. The duet comes off well and sounds great.

[adelgado75]

Where was the show taped?

[all028]

Does anyone know the name of the song Donny's singing in the beginning? Who is the artist? it sounds familiar. Is it "help is on it way?" I dunno

[joan15136]

yes. it is help is on the way by little river band.

[all028]

thanks...:) I looked it up on wikipedia afterwards and found out.

[christinamish]

The song at the start is "Help Is On It's Way" sung by The Little River Band (Australian)

[edld46]

Does any know if Donny or Marie are married?

[asluna95]

Donny--yes and has been for like 25 or 30 years. He has grown children and (I think) grandchildren.

Marie was married way back then and has grown sons from that marriage. Not sure why that ended (divorce or death of spouse.) She married again and has a young daughter with 2nd hubby. Something broke them up, too. Can't remember but I think it was abuse...

[sischris555]

ya donny is married 2 a women named debbie

[MadameLil]

Donny & Debbie married in May of '78, are still happily together & became grandparents about a year ago! Bless!!

[jonpaulmoen]

Donny doing LRB

[dylanispeng]

Why is it in a different language? :P

[512R1H4]

Thanks to write. These images have been taken from a video recorded for 30 years back in their translation the Spanish, of my personal collection.

[dylanispeng]

Ohhh Ok! Thankyou :)

[afghanhound]

God look at Marie's neck, she was so anorexic by this time. Scary.

[afghanhound]

Poor dear, I'm not saying it to be mean, I feel bad for what happened to her about that.

[cryspop]

yeah i noticed that to , she has lolypop syndorme her head looks to large for her skiny body, aparently she was being sexualy abused at the time (acording to Marie herself that is) If its true then i feel really really sorry for her

[afghanhound]

Yes, I've heard her say it but by whom? No one in her family surely.

[cryspop]

She wont say, i guess for obvious reasons, they have such a large family but i doubt we'll find out unless she reveals all in an autobiograhpy one day but i wont hold my breath.

im a big fan of the osmonds and i dont think for one minute it was any of her brothers, i just hope she is happy now, good god you cant imagine a mormon getting abused sexually can you?, they have such high standards (silly statement i know, it was just a thought)

[rc1965]

Give Donny a break...I wanted to see Rita too. but come on Donny wasn't so bad....

[Bobb9999]

I wanna see Rita, not Dummy O.!

[hist101]

Play that funky music white boy!

[DA90027]

Donny was so f**kable back then, had an ass you could bounce a bi-centennial quarter off of...

[Zantt41]

I agree!!! Mmmm!!

[Ivanmoult]

oh dear
