I have always LOVED their version,,, I miss the young, innocent days we use to live in, I was lucky, thank you God for letting me grow up in their time
It was sad when Donny went his own way, but still, these four are magical together and I love every one of them. There has never been a group of brothers so talented as the original Osmond brothers! Each has his own distinctive voice and they sound so amazing together!
My daughter went to Girls and boystown and this is the song they play at their graduation. Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney did a good job in the movie Boystown.
Father Flannagan is buried here at Boystown here in Omaha, Nebraska. Very nice song too bad we don't all remember this. It's hard to find good people anymore.
The song was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell and was a hit for the Hollies in 1969. The Osmonds have recorded it and performed it many times, even referring to it as their "theme song." They say it has special meaning for them--the obvious reason is that the song is about . . . brothers. Oh, and by the way, the 5th brother, Donny, was a solo artist by the time of this performance. What you see here are the original four Osmond Brothers who started out singing barbershop.
I have been a fan of the Osmonds since 1960 when they started on Andy Williams show. Still feel they are the best in the business even after 50 yrs. Will always enjoy their music for ever.
Just love the bro's singing this song. Merrill sings it with such meaning, Merrill was gorgeous then and, is still gorgeous now, love his smiling eyes and sexy smile.
When they invent time travel, I'm zooming straight back to the 70's! We always think we'll be young forever, don't we? Well, one thing's for sure...music like this NEVER gets old!
Gee I don't what I would do without "youtube" now days I watch these and more Osmond videos every day just for the wonderful calm feeling I get after a stressful day in the office.
I think its because they remind us of a much more innocent time in our lives.
isnt this from the special they did in 1978???

They did, at some point, record this as a quintet, as well, though, didn't they?
