I couldn’t figure out whether to feature Donny Osmond or Johnny Winter today. Yes, my musical taste is as eclectic as my reading taste. So many genres, so little time, both in music and in books. Anyway, I digress. I was looking for a Donny Osmond song today because of a post a friend of mine wrote. I was so blown away by watching older Donny Osmond sing along with his younger self. It gave me chills. So I’m sharing it with you.
No spamming. I promise!

Does it make me old, that I remember watching the Osmond Show? Maybe it was just reruns, yeah, that’s it…reruns.

LOL, Chris. Of course you’re still young.
Donny is actually a year older than me, and Marie is a few months younger. (I never really cared for her.) It was cool when I was a pre-teen and then young teenager, and Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson were both about my age. I think I was eleven when One Bad Apple was released, which is the song that started the Osmond craze.
He’s cute! I should imaging him for one of my heroes.
Donny was always cute, but he was all teeth. LOL. I think he improved with age. He played in the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the 90’s. I still need to see that. It was a play, but they made a movie of it later. He was in the play and the movie.
I’ve been listening to him sing that song “I Who Have Nothing”, which I think was a Tom Jones song. It’s a powerful song, and he does a great job on it. I just downloaded it from iTunes. When a song gives me chills like that, I have to have it.
Oh my gosh did you ever send me back in time! I love Donny Osmond, always have, and this song just melts me. 🙂
Wasn’t it awesome, Renee?
I like how he had to harmonize with himself, because (fortunately) his voice had changed. Also how it sounded when he was singing live with his brothers on tape.
Yeah, he definitely had to harmonize. As a female, I can’t even sing along with younger Donny (especially since I have an alto voice). I think someone did a great job putting all that together. I noticed at the end of both their 25th anniversary special and their 50th anniversary special, they ended it with “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”. In the 50th one, they actually had the two deaf brothers signing the songs while the others sang. This family definitely knows the meaning of showmanship. And even those who don’t like them can’t deny their talent.
More importantly, they know the meaning of family.
