I remember seeing this show when it first came. I was 12 years old and loved Donny and guess what,after 40 years I finally met him after a concert, he is such a sweetie!!!
Lucy Arnaz is very tall for a woman, which makes Donny, who was small back then anyway, look tiny next to her. Lucy was ONLY semi-famous because of her Mom, as she personally had very little true talent. In this performance, she was singing SO off key it is painful to listen to her. Donny was extremely talented (and still is), and his singing was good, but the song was totally cheesy even for him to make it enjoyable. And Lucy's performance was simply awful.
First...is the JAN BRADY sitting with Lucille Ball?? What an episode! Second...Lucy Arnaz went on to become well-respected as a Musical Theatre actress. I love her on the Original Cast Recording of THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG. She still performs in live theatre all over the country.
The day I fell in love with Doony Osmond was the day he appeared on Lucy. Yes,long, long time ago but I was 11 years old. I'm almost 50 now if that means antything. still have a crush on iim today.
Great video! However I agee Lucie's voice was not as good as it got. Great to see two of my favorite performers of all time Donny Osmond and Lucille Ball on the same video. Love them both. This video is on the best of Lucy video.
This was actually one of the best episodes in the 5th season of Here's Lucy. Lucie Arnaz' voice here was a bit flat but she was only 21 when this episode was filmed. She is very talented and within a few years was starring in "Seesaw" on broadway and eventually "They're Playing Our Song".
Some interesting history on this snippet: it's from a 1972 episode of "Here's Lucy". Donny Osmond supposedly had a boyhood crush at the time on Lucille Ball's daughter Lucie Arnaz. This episode was written for him. Lucie was 21 at the time and already married. Donny was just a month shy of 15.... Lucie had to sit on the stool due to the fact she was a lot taller than Donny at the time.
Does anyone know how to get a copy of this show that Donny guested on? I've checked though the Lucy episodes and never found it... this was one of my favorties when I was a kid! (By the way Lucie Arnez is Lucille Ball's daughter.)
This was SUCH FUN to watch! Thanks! I remember watching "Here's Lucy" and this was such a great one...with my Donny on it! What a cutie he was...and still is! And Lucy is my NO.1 celebrity...next to Donny, of course!
I can't believe this was posted on You tube! I remember watching this episode of Lucy! I was soooo in love with Donny Osmond! I often think about this episode and if I would ever see a rerun on nick at night. Cool!!! Oh to be young again!!
Cute but I can't help think of the Carpenter's version around this same time and how much better that is.....this is more tounge and cheek I know.... butt....
You can't compare a comedy bit with the Carpenters version...c'mon. Of course the Carpenters is better...if it wasn't better than a live comedy bit done with a non-pro singer, then ..... hahahaha. I'm the original Carpenters rabid fan, but I like Dionne Warwick's version. So cool, elegant, and effortless.
OMG I remember this so well. I taped it and watched it 100 times. I had almost forgotten. You bought back some wonderful memories.I was a huge Donny fan. Thank you for posting this.
Anyone who had half the talent of Lucille Ball would be a star. It's not fair to compare people with superstars who are way above everyone else. Very very very few people have that kind of talent. On top of that, I think Lucille went so far because of her top-notch determination. Lucy Arnaz could have made it further if she really wanted to, but that requires a lot of personal sacrifice and maybe she didn't want to sacrifice herself and her family. She never went hungry, to put it mildly.
This episode is from 1973 (the last season of Here's Lucy in 1973-1974) when Donny was 15. It couldn't be from 1971 because Donny was 13 at that time and his voice hadn't changed yet at that time.
Yeah...Lucy can sing a lot better than she pretends. She's just clowning when she sings badly on I Love Lucy. She can sing fine, she just knows that she's not a superstar there and she has high standards for herself.
Ok can somebody tell me please??? Lucy was born in 1911 ok and this was filmed in 1971 since Donny was 14. How they hell does she look so good for 60 years of age ????
Here ya go--it was first aired Nov. 20, 1972. I remember it was the Monday before Thanksgiving and all the girls in my PE class were all abuzz about this show coming on that night. So D was 14 when it was taped, probably that summer.
