The Osmonds had such wonderful and loving parents who taught them that fame wasn't everything and to believe in the simple things of life... unlike the Jacksons, who's father beat them and never instilled anything in their lives but heartache and terror.
Compare this with American Idol, yack! I don't mean to say that NO great talents can be discovered in those shows, like in OTI in latin America discovered great ones, but the screening process is destroyed by choosing on the criteria they use: looks, and certain qualities they look for as if only good-looking people can make great singers.
LoVe it so much just that I never appreciated this when I was young listening to mum playing it on her record player lol.. not until I saw the video of it.. :)
You better check the video "andy williams biography Part 5" on 0:53, marie osmond said when she saw andy williams for the first time, she said see looked up at andy's face and said "oh my god he's too handsome", check it out..
@8mycrab She was actually a very beautiful 5 year old. I vaguely remember the Andy Williams show. Loved to hear her sing as she got older. I do remember the Donnie and Marie show.
I'm proud to say that I loved this show. I loved Andy Williams, and I loved the Osmonds, all of whom could and still can sing. I'm also proud to say that when I was thirteen years old, I saved up my babysitting money to buy my own ticket to see Andy Williams perform, sewed a floor length formal gown to wear to his concert, and actually met him, and that later, while living and working in Hollywood, got to watch him record an album. Very happy memories!
Holdenon3, Andy Williams was no stranger to the Osmond's, he was responsible for them getting national exposure through his television program, and he loved and respected the kids for their talent. They were know as the one take Osmonds because they learned new things in one take and didn't mess it up during the recording or live performance. I'm Sure Marie was honored to give that dance to Andy on their show. If it weren't for Andy they may not have hit stardom.
What a wonderful look into the past! I love the harmonies between Andy and the 4 Osmond brothers. I think it's so precious the way Andy brushes the stray hair away from Marie's face. What a sweet video!
Can anyone else imagine the hours of rehearsal it took to get the smiles to be as cheesy as they are on this video. It must border into the realms of child cruelty. No kid would ever make those gestures or smiles without a lot of tears on the way.
@roystonowl1 People don't realize that these boys were pushed by their parents just as hard as The Jacksons were by their father Joe. They played state fairs all over the West. They had haircuts every 3 weeks. There were rehearsals, school, plus their religious training. Not an easy life.
Ha-ha, even at 13 years old Wayne Osmond and Jimmy Page looked alike! Type in "Jimmy Page 1957" on Youtube and watch the video and compare it to this one. Thanks for posting this clip, love the Osmonds, especially
What a sweet video. The singing is superb. Marie is so adorable and so comfortable with Andy. He must be a wonderful man when you see how tender he is with Marie.
Annmarie1697 is quite correct, I believe. And that is the order in this video...left to right is Alan, Wayne, Andy (of course) Merrill and Jay. This is vintage greatness!
This is one of the best videos on youtube in my view. Such innocence and perfection. As a barbershop singer, the immense talent of the Osmonds will always amaze and astound me...not to mention Andy.
What a lovely video this is. The Osmonds are a real delight to hear and singing along with Andy Williams was a double treat for me. Thanks for posting.
@stewdoran I just love this song and video for some reason.. I watch the video and listen to the song again and again and the osmonds aaahhhhhh they were delightful bunch when they were young.. <3<3<3
banality? What is that? Is that where everyone loves God, family and country and where young people respect their elders and drugs are not rampant. where porn was not tolerated. where the divorce rate and the crime rate are low and teen pregnancies and abortions are almost unknown? Where students pledged allegiance to the flag every morning and Christmas was the best time of the year and everyone knew their neighbors and life was happy and great? Gee compared to today give me banality any time.
Lovely. I feel incredibly old; that's when the Beatles hit our shores. They were of course bigger, but this was fun. Thanks for posting (I was 12). I am going to weep endlessly when Andy Williams and Tony Bennett leave us.
I saw this clip before and had forgotten about it. Thanks for posting it, I've added it to my favorites. Have seen Donny and Marie twice in Las Vegas, great show!!!
Marie did indeed dance with Andy Williams on her 18th birthday, as promised. It happened when she was on The Donny & Marie Show in the late 70s. (Couldn't find it on YT - sorry.)
to think that donny(who ISNT there,everyone seems to be confused amongst the comments-he wasn't in the group yet)and marie are now painted across the entire west side of the las vegas Flamingo...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How so? A typical rapping homeboy'd rather have his tongue nailed to a tree, & his body covered with starving rats than listen to the Osmonds sing Lina Rose forever.:)
At least these kids could SING they had TALENT...all tupac had was a police record..and a record deal...sorry had to go there since you are being an ass hole. If you dont' like this clip there are many places you can go.
They each had their own individual introduction onto the Andy Williams show. Look up Donny Osmond sining you are my sunshine, that was when he first appeared
What a time capsule-- the Osmonds BEFORE Donny, and what I'm sure was staged to look like a tagged-on cameo by the OTHER most famous Osmond- the lovely Marie at age 4. Thank God for preserved tape television!!
If he keeps sending you stuff, report him. You are entitled to your opinions m.e.t.y., but that's no excuse to treat others discourteously and bother them.
Who'd a thought she'd grow up to be such a gay hating ,thrice married tramp...Why do so many of these Osmond videos have an incest theme? Donny sings love songs to Marie...Marie sings love sings with her son...kinda looks like the grand sexual abuse tradition of the mormon cult is alive and well in the Osmond family....They even let andy hold her in a suggestive manor on national television.....BUT THE FANS LOVE THEM....WONDER WHAT GOES ON IN THIER FANS HOMES?
they don't sing to each other ... they "sing along" WITH one another... get your facts straight ... you obviously hold a grudge against mormons but there's no need to fabricate!
xo99cautiexo99 seems to think that George Osmond molesting Marie was acceptable. What is wrong with you Chritians...when will you stop picking on decent hardworking gay folks and take a closer look at what these damn crazy religious cults are up to. These mormons do indeed have sex with chidren...don't you people have television?
You VERY OBVIOUSLY need to get some help (and I think I can safely speak for EVERYONE when I suggest you do it NOW).....and it's ChriStians, you dumbass..why don't you go spread your spew on someone who gives a damn, because none of us on here do
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Jo Ann loves the child molestor yet hates the guy who points his finger at the child molestor....bet her husband tucks her daughter in every night.....we know what that means....
dude if youve been molested its not your fault, try not to pass blame onto others... and if you arent or havnt its a very serious thing the worlds most dangerous serial killers and rapists were molested as children...
This is adorable! It's funny how some jaded people can make such dark and hateful comments about the video...some people are still decent, kind, and moral; and it is so SAD when the world has come to looking for evil when there is none!
i swear you could have a kitten walking along and someone would analyze it as sexual. to everyone, NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SEX. get over it sheesh. and enjoy the videos for what they are.
TV shows of the era used boom microphones immediately above the performers and right out of sight of the camera. The concept not used much today with the advent of modern, wireless microphones.
This is talent, this type of singing from youngsters, does not exist anymore, or if it does, we don't see in todays youth. They were perfectionist then! The Osmonds were talented!
Just look at the way Andy smoothes Maries hair from her eyes, and Marie attempting to sing along with the brothers, this video is pure magic, Marie is so comfotable sitting with Andy Williams. Mr. Williams at the peak of his singing prowess and the Osmonds at the start of their awesome careers.
AMAZING harmony-a few hours of practice involved. I think Andy really cared about these kids, no doubt. But my understanding is that Walt Disney gave them their first break in show business then Andy took it and ran with it. Glad he did!!!
You understand correctly; it was Walt Disney first and then Andy; and they never forgot that, to this day, they still mention it in/on tours....the Osmonds are very humble
Saw The Osmonds on Friday night at Wembley after a life long wait ... it was just the best thing ever, they are absolutely fantastic and I hope they carry on for another 50 years !!
I remember, I think it was the Donnie and Marie show, that they played this clip where Andy Williams asks to dance with Marie on her 18th birthday, and they actually did dance for tv on her birthday.
I don't know when it was, but yes, Marie did dance with Andy on her 18th birthday (not to be rude, but it's DonnY, not Donnie...although I think it's much cuter with the "ie", since Marie's name ends the same way)
you can find it (if you can find the dvd - it's out of print, but not impossible to find on ebay or amazon market sellers) on andy williams FIRST volume of his show. NOT the two for sale at the moment.
You do know the little girl is Marie Osmond, right? She was cute, but looked a little drugged at first. The guy singing with them is not Daddy Osmond. It's Andy Williams.
Such beautiful harmony. A nostalgic reminder of how things were then. Andy is a remarkable man who still practices his craft well at the age of 81yrs old !!! Real talent endures.
The Osmonds had such wonderful and loving parents who taught them that fame wasn't everything and to believe in the simple things of life... unlike the Jacksons, who's father beat them and never instilled anything in their lives but heartache and terror.

TV shows of the era used boom microphones immediately above the performers and right out of sight of the camera. The concept not used much today with the advent of modern, wireless microphones.

I love this clip. These kids were so talented and so was Andy Williams. I wish they had programs like this on television now.

Marie and Andy, the sweetest and most adorable couple.

This brings tears to my eyes. sweet and innocent and did you hear one of the Osmonds say 'Yes Sir' near the end.
Actually apparently Andy Williams DID dance with Marie on her 18th Birthday!
But wasn't she cute in this clip ?

This is talent, this type of singing from youngsters, does not exist anymore, or if it does, we don't see in todays youth. They were perfectionist then! The Osmonds were talented!

Just look at the way Andy smoothes Maries hair from her eyes, and Marie attempting to sing along with the brothers, this video is pure magic, Marie is so comfotable sitting with Andy Williams. Mr. Williams at the peak of his singing prowess and the Osmonds at the start of their awesome careers.
This is something to be treasured forever :)

Such wonderful harmony.

AMAZING harmony-a few hours of practice involved. I think Andy really cared about these kids, no doubt. But my understanding is that Walt Disney gave them their first break in show business then Andy took it and ran with it. Glad he did!!!

You understand correctly; it was Walt Disney first and then Andy; and they never forgot that, to this day, they still mention it in/on tours....the Osmonds are very humble

Great video!
I've loved that song ever since I saw "The Music Man" when it first came out.

I remember, I think it was the Donnie and Marie show, that they played this clip where Andy Williams asks to dance with Marie on her 18th birthday, and they actually did dance for tv on her birthday.
wrestlerx123 3 years ago 2
I don't know when it was, but yes, Marie did dance with Andy on her 18th birthday (not to be rude, but it's DonnY, not Donnie...although I think it's much cuter with the "ie", since Marie's name ends the same way)

As a life-long Osmond fan (and Andy´s) I can not tell you what watching this means. It is an absolute treasure.
claudinwhittle 3 years ago 2
you can find it (if you can find the dvd - it's out of print, but not impossible to find on ebay or amazon market sellers) on andy williams FIRST volume of his show. NOT the two for sale at the moment.

You do know the little girl is Marie Osmond, right? She was cute, but looked a little drugged at first. The guy singing with them is not Daddy Osmond. It's Andy Williams.

Such beautiful harmony. A nostalgic reminder of how things were then. Andy is a remarkable man who still practices his craft well at the age of 81yrs old !!! Real talent endures.

if you look during 2:22 to the end, it look as if daddy osmond wants to cry. That video shows how much he loves his children. Very nice
