Andy Williams & The Osmonds - Lida Rose (1964)

The Great Andy Williams with The Osmonds singing Lida Rose in wonderful barbershop way.
Including a nice dance with the sweet little Osmond sister.

My parents took a trip to Branson once, and they had tickets to Andy's show at the Moon River Theater. They got there early, so they were walking around outside the theater, and they ran into Andy. He talked to them for a while, then invited them to dinner after the show. My parents enjoyed that very much. They recieved a Christmas card from him every year for quite some time. Not only a great performer, but a great.person. RIP Andy.

[@phyllispetras3369]

I am so sorry I did not realize Andy hd passed. I am too old.

[@user-gn9vu7wn7t]

Wow! Meeting the MAN himself, what an extraordinary experience ! For me it would be like meeting Krishna!

[@sherisouth5963]

​@@user-gn9vu7wn7tmy mom & dad met him on the golf course in Branson, when they were playing behind his group. Mom got his autograph, and talked for years afterward about how gracious he was. My kids (1 millennial and 1 gen-X) were both devastated when he died, because his Christmas CDs were such a big part of their growing-up years.

[@teebee1984]

Just look at the way Andy smoothes Maries hair from her eyes, and Marie attempting to sing along with the brothers, this video is pure magic, Marie is so comfotable sitting with Andy Williams. Mr. Williams at the peak of his singing prowess and the Osmonds at the start of their awesome careers. This is something to be treasured forever :)

[@annseven7166]

This was Marie's very first TV appearance. She was such a cute baby and Andy Williams was so fatherly. Today, the Osmonds run a museum in his memory.

[@emilysgottalent4806]

I love how she hugs Andy, it's so adorable

[@m.e.d.7997]

Little Marie is too adorable. Bet the boys did not know quite what to make of this little creature in the pale blue gown, white gloves and the little silver shoes! Hard to know Marie was ever at a loss for words. Loved her song "Paper Roses" on 1973

[@qwisp]

I love the "Yes sir" coming from one of the boys at the very end. Kids sure are different nowadays. Rest in peace Andy.

[@deeffbee]

I was obsessive about the osmonds in the 70s, but Andy Williams is the MAN! Totally amazing voice!

[@scooteranthony6297]

Just magical. Marie, what a cutie. The Osmonds were so good. And Andy Williams voice was so beautiful.

[@JoshuaCoyne]

I'm proud to say that I loved this show. I loved Andy Williams, and I loved the Osmonds, all of whom could and still can sing. I'm also proud to say that when I was thirteen years old, I saved up my babysitting money to buy my own ticket to see Andy Williams perform, sewed a floor length formal gown to wear to his concert, and actually met him, and that later, while living and working in Hollywood, got to watch him record an album. Very happy memories!

[@sjarifuddinhamid7546]

Jane, how are you?

[@margaretgee920]

Brilliant Andy 👍

[@helenbailey8419]

Andy Williams and the Osmonds earned your respect enough to do such a wonderful thing saving your baby sitting money and sewing a full length gown...how wonderful.I still feel that love and respect for them,even though Andy has passed.Just Wonderful

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Oh MY GOODNESS!! I loved Andy Williams also! I saw him in concert in Minneapolis and I can still feel the visceral effect his soaring voice had in that cavernous venue. I ALWAYS watched his show but I must admit to some envy of your experiences! Still have a crush on him today, those memories are so precious to me. Thank you for sharing yours 😊

[@5brosn1chick]

Oh my gosh! They are without doubt the cutest, sweetest, most talented bunch of kids ever or ever will be!

[@jefflax100]

“Yes, sir” (at end) is how they tried to teach us-then. Parents looked forward to the Andy Williams show.

[@8mycrab]

Oh my Marie was adorable so little in Andy's lap, she looks about 3 yrs old. Those boys had such pure, tight barbur shop harmonies. My sister used to have such a crush on Andy Williams, lol. He is a handsome crooner ;-)

[@claudinwhittle]

As a life-long Osmond fan (and Andy´s) I can not tell you what watching this means. It is an absolute treasure.

[@bsheffer1]

What a sweet video. The singing is superb. Marie is so adorable and so comfortable with Andy. He must be a wonderful man when you see how tender he is with Marie.

[@marilynammirata2305]

Watching this, and the heart warming way he was with Marie Osmond, makes me sad that he isnt with us anymore...

[@jimogrady1131]

wonder if osmond kids will follow in music biz, this is funny my sister thought donny was peter on brady bunch

[@TheDarinw40]

RIP Andy...one of the greatest singers ever....

[@larryhamsing4140]

He was a great singer because he could actually sing. Not like these so-called modern singers. Same with singers of his generation - guys like Perry Como, well if you're over 50 you know what I mean.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Always seemed so nice too

[@vickiefinney6073]

Hard to believe she just turned 60 and still looks amazing

[@willardlarkinsnow5622]

This is now one of my favorite videos on the internet.

[@BaldViking]

How can you not smile at that! Even before she was the star on, "Dancing With The Stars" Marie was dancing with a star. Very nice song, and incredible harmonies.

[@JoeWB]

This is one of the best videos on youtube in my view. Such innocence and perfection. As a barbershop singer, the immense talent of the Osmonds will always amaze and astound me...not to mention Andy.

[@bruceanderson4112]

This video is so endearing. Imagine Marie’s first time on stage singing and dancing with Andy Williams no less. What a introduction to show business.

[@juliemiller3387]

The way Marie puts her head on Andy's shoulder is adorable!!

[@doxiemom95]

They were so adorable. And polite. What a difference a few decades can make.

[@fireworkspark]

I wish I could turn back time there's nothing that comes close to this in the entertainment industry today great job and makes you feel good to watch without drugs or alcohol

[@miss_midge_]

Oh, the harmonies!!

[@lisagiles]

Such beautiful voices

[@lupatterson3740]

Can't believe she was so shy back then compared to all the talking she does now LOL

[@michaelingeorge8592]

April 2024 and it is still magical to listen to!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

Back again to hear the boys' perfect harmony and see Marie...just precious!

[@jot4433]

Andy was simply one of the greats

[@m.e.d.7997]

Loved his smooth voice!

[@suzannebenz8928]

Well done! I always loved the voice of Andy Williams.

[@teebee1984]

I showed this to a work colleague and he said one word... PERFECT!

[@vegetabletube7061]

I love this rendition and look at the baby Osmonds❤️

[@courtneycarter4493]

Beautiful little girl💖 love Marie's voice they all had that sweet sounding voice

[@TheDarinw40]

RIP Andy we will miss you...thank you for wonderful memories like these

[@shauncagney2811]

Seeing the way Andy genuinely giggles because Marie is just too damn cute!! oh man.

[@osarecool]

This song is so beautiful.

[@angelboi88]

That was beautiful. The perfect harmony was created by The Osmonds. Andy Williams is a gem not limited to time!!!!

[@oceangirllorna]

RIP Andy... gone to a better place.. with all those gone before you ..you will live on in your gift of songs..your job was completed here now you begin your new journey to your eternal home amen..

[@AnneLiesveld]

Love the GLOVES! Marie was such a Debutante DIVA in a former life! LOL

[@miss_midge_]

Marie looks so so so happy here.

[@ExclusiveLM]

........ I love the Osmonds because they have always loved each other. That is the best example of a role model family you can find in show business. I'm proud of them as an American.

[@radconserv86]

This is nice. Back when tv was wholesome.

[@crochetmom5]

Andy- you will be sadly missed. Thanks for all the wonderful memories and music you left behind.

[@pamshearer7407]

Marie Osmond Age 3, September 13, 1959 - In Memory of my childhood day's , very blessed uplifting music ! One of the greatest Legndcay Andy Williams Rest in peace Dear Sir ! This video was in 1964 ! Thank you for sharing this song with us ! Very blessed 🌹 Date 6/29/2018 🌹

[@SueProv]

Marie was born Ocober 13, 1959. She has stated more than once it was also the date her dad was born, October 13, 1917.

[@caroljnorton8099]

Omg!! I love that song!! The first time I heard that song sung was by the Lennon sisters!! One of my favorites!❤️

[@cammicty]

This is talent, this type of singing from youngsters, does not exist anymore, or if it does, we don't see in todays youth. They were perfectionist then! The Osmonds were talented!

[@cherihalda7168]

They had such poise on stage for young fellows. All so talented.

[@helenbailey8419]

When people sang to you..with grace,charm and dignity.

[@shannonm75]

I haven't watched this video in awhile sitting in a playlist. They were adorable.

[@sandyschultz3369]

Lida Rose is sunv so beautiful by Andy and Osmond's awesome I'm loving listening to his beautiful voice

[@m.e.d.7997]

They all had great voices including Andy.

[@donnah79]

Thanks I believe this is where Marie Osmond started preparing for dancing with the stars

[@yvonnescholey8972]

You can see how much he loves those children in all the performances he does with the group what a great guy🥰

[@helenbailey8419]

My favourite version of this beautiful song.

[@oohyllab]

The Osmonds harmony is absolutely no less pitch perfect than the Buffalo Bills.

[@fusayyo]

とても素敵な映像🌺 可愛い子供たち 素敵な歌声　ただ素晴らしい！　有難うございます🌺

[@meesmeeleesa]

What a wonderful look into the past! I love the harmonies between Andy and the 4 Osmond brothers. I think it's so precious the way Andy brushes the stray hair away from Marie's face. What a sweet video!

[@patriciaarold1270]

It’s so sweet to see Marie dancing for the first time on the Andy Williams Show. It was great that they took the time to put Donny, Marie, and Jimmy on the show. To let them continue to grow and get all of the talent they have, it’s great. RIP Andy. You were one of the greats!! 🙂🙂🙂

[@zeraphyrus]

andy williams is such a good singer,his song is so inspirable to me

[@chordshark]

What a treat. I used to have a recording of them singing from that show but don't know where it got to. "Keep your eye on the girly you love" was the song! Their family blend made their sound amazing.

[@mr_mack_indenver7807]

Modern "artists" &"rappers" - take note; this is ACTUAL talent.

[@conscience-commenter]

Sure miss Andy and his shows .Glad KZbin keeps his memory alive here .

[@coralprincess25]

That was so cute! Probably Marie's first televised dance. The boys were awesome, of course. Saw the Osmonds do their Christmas how in Michigan 4 years ago and they are so talented, entertaining and funny. I hope we can see them perform again. They are a class act, just like Andy.

[@gettinhitched]

Absolutely beautiful

[@PhilipKlaassen]

I can't listen to this enough! I love it!

[@browneyedcarol]

I think Andy Williams ought to be a guest star on DWTS! And DANCE WITH MARIE!!!! Wouldn't that be like, nostalgic?

[@uranggila89]

What a superb collaboration we have here! Andy with his golden voice, The Osmond Brothers with their innocently sweet vocal arrangement... The Osmond Brothers look so cute here, especially Marie and Donny...

[@sandyschultz3369]

he's the best I love Andy and his music beautiful voice and all so sweet with the Osmond s miss you Andy if you hear me in heaven Love you and your music Sandy

[@martinplatt5928]

Incredible talent art such a young age.....brilliant. What a sad world we live in now.....very few people in the limelight can sing like this. However, I know the talent is out there for sure.

[@leticiarafaela7688]

Awww, little Marie is so cute here ❤❤❤

[@michaelingeorge8592]

What a handsome stud Andy Williams was!

[@Vvie007]

what a lovely man...

[@judydutko8321]

Fabulous!!!! We in Sweet Adelines are adding this song to our show!

[@liorman3988]

So shy little Marie

[@karrietucker8856]

How beautiful melody together they don’t make music like that anymore ❤

[@cherylb2008]

i enjoy looking back at the sweetness and the innosence of those times at that genre of entertainment

[@HUGGYBEAR-262]

This video & the "music man" is great song to play

[@Tuning_Spork]

I can't stop smiling.

[@Micaela242]

Wow! Those young Osmond brothers were quite talented! How cute! What can I say about Andy and that velvety soft voice? I just love him. Thanks for sharing!

[@Themaddprof]

Just a few days after these fellows from Liverpool appeared on another network and made history. It's funny how I was not yet born until December of that year, and yet this gives me a sense of watching variety programs with my parents on our floor model TV in the earliest days of my childhood memories.

[@nganngo2404]

You very humorous and wonderful Andy i like you

[@LuvTadnDixie]

3:38 - I love the little "ok".

[@Embeth82]

And she did save him that dance many years later! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHPhmttg9CYm9k

[@ResidualConfusion]

Just for the sake of context - 1964 is the year the "British Invasion" began. The Beatles played 2 concerts in Las Vegas. (My friend was desperate to go, but no one we knew had parents who would allow it or could afford it.) If you contrast Andy Williams' crooning style, which is similar to that of Sinatra, Crosby, Como, Martin, etc., and the delicate, true harmony of Barbershop and Swing quartets (e.g. the Mills Bros., the Ames Brothers) with the British bands, you may better understand why so many of our parents hated the new music and clung to the old.

[@faithlaurie]

Thank you Andy for being a great man and great singer RIP.

[@lyric1228]

I love this one. It's so sweet, and did you notice, three years old and already mouthing the words perfectly.

[@helenbailey8419]

24th of August 2022...charming,gentle...wonderful

[@theschizoidman]

When I was a kid during the height of this show and others like it, i usually got bored when they started singing. I really only liked the comedy parts. I was a kid then. I'd usually leave the room when they started singing. Now, many, many years later, my eyes tear up when hearing these musical numbers. What an era. What happened to American culture, when things like this are gone, or worse, ridiculed, and mainstream entertainment means sadistic violence and vulgarity? What happened to us?

[@schmarcie]

The Andy Williams Show was the best! The Williams' Brothers were wonderful together. I especially love the Christmas shows. The Osmond Brother's are adorable too!

[@tooslimnc]

Yes, the reunion is to celebrate their FIFTIETH year in show business...god, I feel old....

[@expoers]

The '50 and '60 was a good years. I'm from'53 and excellent year off course. This they were really happy days. Thanks for sharing

[@rogerrosales1]

THE OSMONDS: very talented boys (and a girl) & equally-gifted Andy Wiliams!

[@TRHclub]

RIP Andy...we will miss your smooth voice...

[@teebee1984]

OMG what a cutie.. FANTASTIC stuff.

[@recovering16]

So very sweet!!! ;)

[@1sames]

Rest in Peace Andy Williams. You were the best!

[@robertw9437]

Loved it!

[@tracygaluszynski1868]

Years later he would be on their show.

[@jordanb3756]

About 13, 11, 9 and 7.. holy crap! Most mainstream adult artist can’t come close to this if they tried! They lack the talent, ability and most importantly the skill to HEAR these tight harmonies. My favorite part is Andy at the end...on the boys’ last “Lida Rose”, he glances up and smiles. You can tell he’s just listening to the brothers.

[@kerryincolumbus]

The Osmonds had such wonderful and loving parents who taught them that fame wasn't everything and to believe in the simple things of life... unlike the Jacksons, who's father beat them and never instilled anything in their lives but heartache and terror.

[@zanmei7261]

The Osmond father was strict, and had high standards for his sons. He taught them a strong work ethic, which they seem to have appreciated rather than resented.

[@craigsmith3182]

Hard to believe only 8 years later they were doing “Crazy Horses”. Would loved to have seen the look on Andy’s face when he heard that one🤣
