The Osmonds Ice Skating

The Osmond Brothers were so talented and could even skate and sing at the same time. This is an amazing performance. Donny Osmond is the youngest in this wonderful ice skating scene.

what year was this?

[joannskater]

I think it was 1967.

It was said that after the Osmond Brothers did that routine, they burned the skates that they hated so much.

[joannskater]

Yes, I saw an Osmonds Brothers Documentary and one of the brothers shared that fact. It made me so sad to hear that they burned their skates since I know how much skates cost. I was also sad to hear that doing this made them dislike ice skating.

Where's Marie??

[joannskater]

I think this program was a "boys only" routine, but I also recall that Marie was just learning how to skate at the time.

[statetrooper012]

To those who made comments about the boys having only a week to learn the routine and burning their skates after....that was a much earlier skating episode...the guys were wearing all white with a snowflake on their shirts.....it was part of the Andy Williams show...if you can find that clip, I'd love to see it again.

gawd, there's just no end to their talent..amazing <3

Watching this just reconfirms what an incredibly talented family they are. Amazing that they could learn to skate like that in such a short period of time. I recall that they were even offered a contract with the Ice Follies, that they turned down. Awesome singers, drop dead good looks, and impressive skaters as well - is there nothing these guys couldn't do? No wonder we fans love them!!

These were the times of innocence, not a swear word heard on radio or television, no vulgarity of any kind, and funny, but those of us that grew up then were ok with that. The Osmond brothers were very talented and they deserve much credit, though they were raised as Mormons and devotedly followed the teachings. Thus they believe in God and Jesus Christ as their personal savior. as we all should, it is free for the asking, just pray and God will hear you, your name recorded. your sins forgiven!!

On the Biography he also said that they didn't know how to skate! They learned all this in a week... so just to imagine how much they had to practice in that week... and probably the endless hours of practicing - I can understand burning the skates! =p

Fantastic clip, thanks for sharing!

[tonjaraye]

Great fun to watch! There was an interview with Donny, who confirmed that they only had a week to learn how to skate.

[lustfabian]

I agree with you. I am form Colombia, but this show was aired there too! I was between 12-14 when I watched this Donny and Marie Osmond. I missed so much! I am 41 now, and I still love it tho!

[TheHondo43]

With Donnies latest triumph on that dancing show it drives home what super talented folks they are . They are from a time when talent =entertainment.

now days all you have to do is shout and swear vulgarity into a microphone and you are considered an entertainer.

[MyCelticHeaven]

I can skate and sing but it is extremely difficiult to do both, WELL, at the same time.

The Osmonds had and still have tremendous talent in so many areas! I saw the Brothers earlier this week and they sound the same or better than they did in 1972 at their peak.

[OrangeSFO]

that's not a single take folks... that probably took days to shoot
