Osmonds - Perform on the Ann Margret Special - 1975

They sing a medley of songs which include We're Having A Party, The Girl I Love & Motown Special. They also sing You Are The Sunshine of My Life and perform a dance routine with Ann.
From my personal collection

[@ruthnagarya2028]

I don't think ANY group or singer or dancer EVER worked as hard as the Osmonds....EVER, and STILL they work even today...

[@biancacox9699]

Wow!!! The Osmonds were so entertaining…Jay choreographed most of their dance moves! You just don’t see talent like this anymore …And geez what an aerobic workout!!🥳

[@craigslivka1]

this was Jay. Jay pretty much did the Donny and Marie show choreography. The Osmond's early stuff they knew choreographers from their Andy Williams day, and for the tv stuff (like yo-yo on the Flip Wilson show, the show's choreographer did the choreography). This style of dancing was not jay's forte but more of a Michael Kidd nature (it was not Michael Kidd, but had a very Seven Brides for Seven Brothers feel). I think for the early concert years the brothers worked on the dance routines together. There were things kept from tv show choreography and things discarded. Which really is pretty smart because, at that point in their careers, they understood what worked at making them excel the way they did, and what made them a little uncomfortable and not look as good on stage.

[@ninamartinez5171]

Thank you for that information. Is there anyway you can please help me understand why the Osmond's are not in the Rock and roll hall of fame today ? id seriously appreciate anything you are able to help me understand why that is ? thank you in advance friend 😊

The Osmonds have the good looks, talent personality and are good people. Love this family.

Brothers always harmonize the best. Osmonds, Jacksons, Beegees, Everly bros

Smothers Brothers... sad they didn't focus on it more

[@sleepingwithcats5121]

What did I just see? They are brilliant and amazing and just wow in every aspect. Top dancers, top at it all.

[@birdsfan57]

THIS, KIDS, is whatcha' call REAL TALENT, REAL ENTERTAINMENT! This family is long overdue for recognition from the entertainment industry for their tremendous talent and contribution to America's musical history. And, despite the fact that Donny was deemed the so-called " superstar" of the group back in those days, it was Merrill who possessed the strongest, most unique voice and Jay who possessed the true dance prowess, and when paired with the rest of the Brothers, are just an incomparable vision to watch and listen to. They were THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Glad I was fortunate enough to have been around to witness the magic of those years.

[@MsJimmysgirl]

I agree....Merrill had the best voice and probably could have been a rock star if he had gone solo. Donny was more of the heart throb of the group.

[@angelinaduran-miller4255]

You sure know how to put a smile on this gals face. LOVE the Osmonds!!!

[@jvlp2046]

Multi-Talent Osmond Brothers who can choreograph synchronized dance while singing, can sing harmonious acapella, write their own songs, and played the band instruments... it is a total package deal for the Whole Family Show...

[@FirstClassBlonde]

Some serious choreography! Now I know why Donny's show in Vegas is so good!

[@KarlaElaine100]

Merrill really did have the best rock n roll voice.

[@joanneadams4601]

Still does! :)))

Well he does have ONE of the best voices.....

They did learn martial arts from Chuck Norris.

Is it me or are they perfectly in sync?

I'm surprised that Marie isn't on there with them!

On the Andy Williams Show they were,” the one take Osmonds.”

[@susanarodriguez7065]

What wonderful dancers and singers. I loved to see them dance. No wonder Donny won first place in dancing with the stars. Any of his brothers could have done the same.

[@Cheryl_Haydon]

Those harmonies on Sunshine Of My Life are incredible! The whole Osmond family is just so multi talented. I hate that they don't perform together anymore, but they deserve a break after being in show biz over 50 years!

They could harmonize like no other group. They had that and very good looking too. I wish they could have made more records together. The Donny and Marie show put an end to that real fast. I still have all their records. I wish I could have seen them in concert.

[@cindyerick2968]

I still have over 30 albums on dvd. I still listen to the Osmonds.

They were so fit. All that dancing and singing. Went on and on for ages.

That screechy voice and the cheeky moves...but what a career and lovely man. I never thought I would go to a show without the 'brother blend', But my goodness I'm so glad I did. He even did a video message before one show for my sister that was snowed in and couldn't get out to see him.

[@mrsTraveller64]

@@tonycritcher3419 Jimmy? or Donny?

[@mrsTraveller64]

Jimmy never had the looks like the other siblings, but he had a good voice and apparently could dance also! And I liked him very much when I was small and same age as him.

[@IsobelSimpson-o5z]

Merrill has the most amazing voice in the rock 'n' roll music industry. It's a pity he hasn't been recognised for his talent and he has the most underrated gift of voice. I think he should be elected to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame !!!!! Wonderful talented family both collectively and individually in their own right ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LauRa-re9un]

I will always admire them for avoiding the cords so good as if they weren´t there. It is another talent between all their talent.

[@user-qf5ql2lo7y]

Dolly Pardon is in the Hard rock Hall of fame but not the Osmonds. The record industry would not know talent if it kicked them in the teeth. It is a shame.

[@user-qf5ql2lo7y]

Reason that the Osmonds never got a fair shake in getting in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. People keep comparing them to the Jackson family. You noticed that the Jackson family kind of bailed out of the spot light. Janet and Michael were the ONLY two performing at one time. The Osmonds will never get their well deserved acknowledgement in the Kennedy Honors nor Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Osmonds outlast the Jackson family.

Marie had her own career in country music at this time.

Loved The Osmonds just not a fan of Jimmy that much. He looks like the kid on Two And A Half Men. Have a crush on Marie before she was famous through today. I would get 16 magazine and other mags to just get a photo of Marie just as little sister to The Osmonds not as a star yet.
