The Osmonds - Side by Side

The true story of the Osmond Family. I have been blessed in my lifetime to have personally known Mr. George Virl Osmond and Mrs. Olive Davis Osmond, and to have been an honored guests in their home. I have also been blessed to meet Alan, Wayne, Merril, Jay, and Jimmy Osmond, as well as, 6 of Alan's boys - Michael, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler.
I purchased this video from Mrs. Osmond several years ago and share it here as entertainment for all to enjoy and as a tribute to two of the greatest parents that I have ever know besides my own.

I was a huge Osmond fan back in my early teens. Donny was my favorite. Had all their albums and went to their concerts. I am now 65. This movie was so wonderful!

[@KathrynRucker]

I have always been a huge fan of the Osmond's since I was around 9 years old 🗝️ an saw them at Disneyland the first time an then the 2nd time at Anaheim Stadium when I was 10 years old. And when I was 14 I joined the LDS Church when I was baptized by my Papa 💜

This is by far one of the best TV movies about the Osmonds I have ever seen! And Marie portrayal of her mother was absolutely amazing and gorgeous!

[@obscurelyvague]

"Kelleymarie Jones" I don't know enough about how the real Olive Osmond was in real life but Marie Osmond's portrayal is embellished and Marie was made to have more a glamorous and dainty look .Mrs. Osmond was actually a woman of the 1940s and had a rugged and robust country woman look to her.

[@cristineconnell7803]

​​@@obscurelyvaguebut even rugged robust women of the 40s didn't go out in public without their "go to town" clothes, hair do & lipstick! My Mom & grandma were those woman! One of my grandma's grew up & had her brood in 1 room cabins, made the bread & meals, then we all went fishing!❤ But she was also the towns Avon lady & fixed up for "going to town" or dealing with the public! So Marie showing her Mom put together was a part of how they lived! Often regardless of income or class! They didn't waste time watch TV all night & having their face in screens all day! They actually worked & cared about their appearance! ❤ MY Mom can hunt, butcher the deer & cook it up, sew the most breathtaking wedding gowns & clothes, raise the babies, & still look put together! Frankly I don't know how they did it! Raising my brood I felt I often looked a mess with my hair flying! But Mom would say, where is your lipstick? 😂😂❤

Good for George and Olive for refusing to put their sons in an institution just for being deaf! Those two sure went above and beyond anyone's expectations for deaf children at the time.

[@lynneshively3790]

I'm 63 and have all the Osmond albums. I play them when I'm feeling nostalgic. I loved all of their music. My favorite album is "The Plan". Favorite song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".

[@dandylionriver]

My sister Mary had the “One Bad Apple” album when she was about 13 or 14. Around that time her best friend was moving to a different state and since they both loved Donny so much, my sister gave her friend the album as a keepsake to remember her by. Mary passed away last January with dementia at age 57. Up until the end she still loved Donny, and still remembered giving her album away. Rest In Peace my sweet sister. I miss you sooo much! ❤️🙏

Feb 7, 2020: Thanks for sharing this movie! I've watched it several times; a sweet story! My first boyfriend and the true love of my life, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, was killed in an auto accident on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Returning to Albuquerque from a long work week at the Farmington mines, he tragically rolled his 240Z Datsun. Manuel trained as a Marine at Camp Pendleton (radio operator), served a year in Okinawa and was a member of the VFW, Catholic Church & Carpenters Union. Still in high school, we exchanged letters often. By the time I graduated, I knew I had fallen in love with him. My mother never approved. Then....he was gone. Manuel graduated from West Mesa High School in 1970 and participated in track & field. Manuel's shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and strong work ethic were endearing traits to those of us who loved him. KATRINA

And Racism

[@obscurelyvague]

1:14:42 It seems useless to me that the dad made his boys apologize to each other. Unless it is within each of their hearts then they only did as they were told because they had to. They will only continue to feel the same resentment toward each other inside. I once had an argument with a doorman in the building where I work. He was rude to me. I told the doorman's supervisor about it who then said that he spoke with the doorman but he wants me and the doorman to shake hands and apologize to each other. I refused. I only agreed to avoid the doorman as much as possible so as to avoid conflict. The supervisor said that whoever refuses to shake hands and make up is the true coward and the person whose fault everything is. Heck I am far from being a juvenile and I must be 2 times the age of the doorman and I saw no reason to pretend when the doorman would only go back to being rude to me. Apologizing has to be heart felt, not some ritual so someone else can check a box and say the problem is solved.

Got a picture signed for my cousin. Mrs Osmond was kind enough to talk with me all evening . She took my address and phone number. Some weeks later she called...I was not home. BUT...Grandma said they had a wonderful long conversation. Said they traded a few good recipes. Said it was nice to talk to someone from the 'Old School' . That was one of two times I met the Osmonds. The Miami concert I met Mrs Osmond . I was pushed into the metal gate and got a bruise on my temple. Mrs O came right over and had to make sure I was ok. Grandma was there and said simply, "Once a Mom...always a Mom. Does not matter who's child it is."

They are considered a cult because they follow the Book of Mormon: another Testament of Jesus Christ, which contains the teachings of their founder, Joseph Smith. He claimed that an angel named Moroni appeared to him and gave him a new revelation, which the Mormons believe ranks higher than the Bible. Their Book of Mormon has been rewritten and altered many times from the original so-called "revelation." It contains some very strange teachings, including that Jesus and Satan (Lucifer) are brothers (both sons of God) from the planet Kolab. True Christians believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God and our only authority. The Bible teaches that all humans are born into this world as sinners (enemies of God) and in need of a Savior from God's just punishment that we deserve. We cannot save ourselves by good works. Salvation is a gift given by God's grace alone though faith in Jesus Christ for God's glory.

I am very pleased i watched this movie. I really enjoyed watching the family grow , prosper and develop into a loving and talented family. Although life must have been hard at times they still loved each other very much.

[@rdkuless]

"Why would God have trusted us with these children if He didn't think we had the strength..?" That speaks volumes of George and Olive's faith in God.

"Going Coconuts" as too crazy and fun of a musical hotel caper!

[@ConChaz100]

Mr. Brown, Thank You for loading this on You Tube for all of us to watch. This is a superb movie every time I watch it I Laugh, smile, and cry. It reminds me of the closeness of family and all the past memories of childhood . The joys, the sorrows, the hard times and the good times . That's what life and family is all about sharing it all SIDE BY SIDE. God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Osmond for their steadfast faith and family and raising wonderful, honorable children and sharing them all with us. God Bless You OSMOND FAMILY.

[@hellolater4181]

Hard, hard work for all of them. Great production that kept to the truth. Loved the movie. I remember all of this 💖!

[@14DaveHunter]

Very fitting the real George and Olive appeared at the end.

[@otisroseboro2837]

Yes that was sweet

[@sharonthompson2333]

Just wonderful, really enjoyed it, Marie did an excellent job of acting.

[@fungirlwriter]

Thank you,thank you,thank you for uploading this movie! It is one of my favorite movies. I used to have it and don't anymore.Been years and years since I have seen it..had to watch it as soon as I found it. Awesome! Thanks again.

[@homemovies1961]

The Osmond still manage to bring a smile to my face during UK 🇬🇧 Pandemic Lockdown 2020 😊

[@pandorazbox9659]

I love the Osmands. This was a lovely film. Thank you.

[@arinco6944]

Can one even imagine if George and Olive Osmond never had more children based on their doctor’s recommendation. There would be no entertaining Osmonds as we know and love today. I love this family story.

[@rosarybordelon9831]

Also a lot less Souls for the Kingdom of God

[@ronniebishop2496]

Rosary Bordelon Is that how they believe?

[@alanosmond3131]

Did you know when I (Alan) was born, my Mother Olive had an out of body experience? “She felt she was up near the ceiling and got mad that the doctor was slapping her face”! This is evidence that we are “two bodies: one of Spirit, a ‘child of God’, and one of flesh and bones, a child of our earthly parents! After we die physically, our Spirit goes to the Spirit world or Paradise, and after we are Resurrected, thanks to Jesus, we get our physical bodies back again, as good as new, and the “two bodies” are joined together again; never to be separated again! (I saw my parents in the Spirit world in a very vivid dream. They looked about 20 years old!!!) Alan

[@langlee1355]

Thank you for posting this movie! Such an awesome family. It's pretty remarkable when all nine children turn out to be wonderful people. Was such a nice ending to the movie with the parents' appearance.

[@jameswright7237]

Love to have it on dvd to more often love the osmonds music all my life.
