my first concert ever at the age of nine! at the forum in los angeles. i will never forget that night. my mom and grandma told me they had a surprise for me, didn't tell me what., so we're driving and driving and we get to the forum where the marquee is and it sez "TONIGHT THE OSMONDS!!!" i freaked. every piece of wall in my room was covered with pix of donny (ceiling too!) i loved him then and i still love him today..... I LOVE YOU DONNY!
You could read their bodies like books in those jumpsuites! Not so sweet n innocent :) Oh well, it msut hvae made those girls go crazy at that show! :D
I grew up listening to this, I sit here now listening to it with my husband. This song was way sexual. Do you guys realize that? What was mom and dad Osmond thinking? Mercy! LOL
@RunningSilvrBear their father didnt want them to this song.He thought it was too sexuall for them to sing. He wanted to change some of the words ,but record excs. so no..
@rhiann0n1 i have no idea. but im shocked that he did. lol. i no he wouldnt let them have 'one bad apple' at first coz it said 'sock it to ya' he he thought it was 'sajestive' but the recorders (or wteva) sed it means break your 'heart again'. i wanna no the story of this sogn too. hopefully soemoen nose it
@StuckInThe50sAnd70s their father didnt want them to do this song he said it was too sexual for them. He wanted some of the words changed but record excs said no!
compro el video completo de este concierto de los osmonds live, comuniquense conmigo, gracias..........................I buy the full video of this concert of the osmonds live, comuniquense with me, thank you
It's from their DVD called Crazy Horses. It's an import. Great DVD if only for these videos. Glad you enjoyed them. You can find it on ebay and amazon.
compro este concierto el que lo tenga comuniquese conmigo, gracias...............................I buy this concert which it has contact with me, thank you
WOW!!! If they were a hit now singing this song i would have gone to see them anywhere. I am amazed who good they were. Donny is so cute, my mom liked him when she was my age.
They almost didnt do this song, there father thought it was to sexual for his sons to sing. He wanted some of the words changed the.record exc. wouldnt change them. Glad the did it!!!
oh yes! that's what i want! some double lovin from donny! he's so sexy! i love all of the osmonds songs and can sing along with them! iloveyoudonnyosmond!
me and my mate, cherrywombat, think this sogn is a little dirty secretely.'you gonna GET A DOUBLE PRESSURE, EVERYTHIGN I DOO'. IT SOUNdS SO WRONG. at first we thought it was us beign silly btu then merril sang 'makes u feel so good inside' and thought it sounded very wrong. most fo u may not agree but we are only 13 riet now. sozzie btu thats wat we think.
love it anway! u can lve me anytime 12/13 year old donny!!
they are actually saying double pleasure not double pressure......still it's a good song I just discovered it......"you're gonna get a double pleasure......" Gotta love them though. Music today isn't like the music I grew up with my dad's old 45's and Donny was my first music crush.
string theory made popular the idea of many parralel universes. in one of these they cloned a gay elvis and this video is the proof.
but seriously, even though they were just the white version of the jackson five they were awesome and they were also mormons! did the moonies ever produce a pop band? i think not!
Get Down JAY! Man, you can tell he just gets into his dancing, he is the one with the hair that is the most sweaty and messed up at the end of their show! Same with his drumming...that man is totally hot!!
Thanks plenty for this vid! ive been lookin for this song for a while now, and this is the best version ive seen. (i think its the only one ive seen!)
D'ya know what? I was listening to Rockin' Robin today and I dont think MJ was a better singer than Donny at this age.. He was given songs with more 'cred' than Donny cos they marketed Donny to sing to 13yr old girls....
IF n e thing held Donny back as an artiste it was His face! The Moguls saw a look they could 'sell' and they used it AND it worked.
But talent for talent I'd say The Jacksons AND The Osmonds were on even ground......
good job with settling the osmond/jackson conflift thing. i agree with you, but im a teensy, weensy bit more on the osmond side.(well obviously i am, beacause like you said, donny targeted 13 yr old girls, and i am one!)
maybe its me but i dont see a comparision to the jacksons except 5 brothers and donny is ok but lets get real he couldn't hold a candle to micheal back then merrill was the man in that group he should have done solo albums when they were hot and he knows it.
Plz do NOT keep dragging up the Jackson/Osmonds thing. Both famillies are talented....both made really good music.
I bought both loved both. Ok Donny won out but c'mon...I was 13yrs old. Donny was(IS) so good looking....but I still have to dance if MJ is singing.....just enjoy.
What memories!!! This a great video! The osmonds were and still are very talented!! They will always be the best! They are what started it all for the "Boy Bands!"
im sorry but how amazine are they?!!!!! love them to bits, and im only 14, god wish i was there in the 70's, id do anything to experience osmond mainia, all i do is get to ehar about it and see clip of it. lvoe donny, alot. it's reallu funny how much more the girls scream as he comes forward to sing his part. xxxx
There is nobody as talented as this whole family. What a tribute to the parents that raised them to be such wonderful individuals and talented to boot! Always loved them and still do today.......
The Osmonds really were and still are very talented. A lot of people give them very little credit considering they wrote some of their best hits, they sing, dance and play several different instruments and they can harmonize at drop of a hat. Even today they sound really great.
Of course Merrill is the best lead singer in the business with an AWESOME voice.
Thanks, flowerchild for these great videos! Is this concert on dvd anywhere for sale? I'd love to buy it -- it reminds me of the 1972 Osmonds concert I attended!
I have this album...this was before video existed. Why cant people just let others enjoy a trip to the past why do you have to bash us over the head for being an Osmond fan? This song was written by the same person as One Bad Apple...and was recorded at Muscle Shoals in Alabama...that ain't chicken feed. I would LOVE for this LP to be put on CD for those of us who have always loved then, and the new generations who also love them.
the osmond brothers don't have comparation,i love them exelent show.if they don't like you what are you doing here.i'm from mexico city and every body loves osmond
I said this in another post. The industry is all about selling. That's what it was back then that's what it is still. IT IS WHAT IT IS. If it sells the industry doesn't want to give it up (AKA Rap Industry)
After the Supremes there were how many girl groups? lol tell me about it.
What a shameless rip-off of their first hit "one bad apple". It's nearly the exact same pattern. The SAME song! And after all these years I never realized it until now: Double Lovin' is One Bad Apple is disguise. Very sneaky these record companies are. Very sneaky indeed.
(2) they actually do have something good going there. But then I have to laugh again. "Boy Bands," packaged acts, were as silly then as they are now. I think there's a whole live band there providing some damn good sound, and we don't get to see any of them! They aren't lit! I could be wrong, maybe it is just a playback. And maybe they're lip-syncing. It's hard to tell. Regardless, this is still a great, brief nostalgia trip. Thanks for posting!
(1) At first, this just makes me laugh! Five White Mormon guys embracing the Jackson 5 sound, and singing about double-loving (what, only TWO wives?) And the pre-pubescent one is screaming the loudest about satisfying his woman... It's just plain ... what's the word -- ironic? Idiosyncratic? Incongruous! And the costumes... Elvis? What? But then it gets a little hypnotizing. And as silly as it looks today, and as embarrassed as I feel about loving these guys when I was five years old...
I've been watching these old Osmond videos, and I've wanted to say this for awhile. THEY WERE GOOD!! Especially LIVE! Listen to they singing when "LIVE". It's as GOOD if not BETTER than the recordings. That's even when they're dancing! How many groups today can say that? Not many! Most can't carry a tune when giving concerts. They were famously called: "The one-take Osmond's" because they didn't make mistakes!!! I miss them, and hope they're all doing well.
Okay, I'll admit it, you are the best for giving us the gift of this song :)
