@AnElephantsChild To be honest with you,I thought it was the Jackson 5 at first too.A young Donny and young Michael's voices sound so identical.

@willowbreeze121 Nope...The Osmonds were on the Andy Williams show during the sixties..Long before the "J5" came around

@landrykkb

That's probably because George Jackson who wrote the song, wrote it specifically for the Jackson 5, who rejected it.

@andrelebaron Say what you want about the Osmonds being Mormons & what have you,but at least their Mormon faith had kept their feet on the ground.

@landrykkb and they both represented freakish religious cults.
