The Osmonds - Movie Man (1973) *RARE VIDEO*

Oh boy! Would you look at this!! Now there can be no debate that Alan is the singer on this one. This is the best quality, sorry.
I do not own this video, nor do I take credit for it in any way. All I wish to do is share it with all the other Osmond fans.

[@williebowen2965]

The Osmonds should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@donnageorge2761]

Yes they should,it angers me that they have never been given the acclamation that they deserve here in the US, 💙🧡🖤💚💜

[@marlaknaack4641]

Absolutely! They never got the appreciation they should have. I’m so glad they ended up with their own theater, and even though they no longer tour, they are well loved.

[@DDandrums]

Don’t be absurd.

[@AccountantProOT]

You can tell this song was very reminiscing of the Beatles' style. The Osmonds were truly underrated. The more I discover their audio library, the more of a fan I become.

[@mrsTraveller64]

"underrated"?! They were SO famous especially in Britain but also in Usa!

[@obscurelyvague]

@AccountantProOT That is what I was thinking.

[@lisaparsons4124]

The Osmonds are awesome singers, movie man awesome song.Movie man ,God will judge everyone.

[@thisisdylangreenberg]

My favorite song by the Osmonds, super underrated and weird

[@RarityGalora]

I found a 2nd hand copy of this 45 sometime in the 90s and bought it without knowing anything about the song or the album it came from - hell I wasn't even really fond of the Osmonds either! At the end of each year I make a list of my fave songs of the year, regardless of when they were released. Movie Man topped my 1996 list.

[@MasterJediDude]

I had no idea that Alan was the lead on this song. I wasn’t an immediate fan of their concept album, “The Plan” but it has quickly grown on me. The song definitely has a Beatles influence to it and is quite quirky. The Osmonds never cease to amaze me - they are musical geniuses.

[@osarecool]

Yes, the first time I heard it I thought it sounded like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite". I didn't know who was singing either - but I knew not Merrill, so I crossed my fingers and asked Alan on the internet, and he answered and told me it was him! Absolutely- if only everyone thought they were talented!

[@lizsmith4186]

Alan's voice was much deeper than this. Looks dubbed to me.

[@osarecool]

@@lizsmith4186 He was using effects on his voice, if I'm not mistaken. I heard it might've even been a megaphone or something!

[@MasterJediDude]

@@lizsmith4186 it is. You can tell that it’s clearly the track off the album and they’re lip-syncing to it. Not uncommon for TV appearances.

[@childsweethearts]

I've had this album for many years, and it's just now I learned Alan's singing. I thought, "Wow! I didn't know he could sound like the Beatles." So cool to see that you, the first comment I saw, feels the same.

[@annakohlman2376]

Osmonds were never recognized for their genius, yes they were superstars, but their talents measured right up with THE BEST!

[@karenwillis3682]

This is such a good song.They are so super talented.

[@DavidReed-dx4bk]

Number 1 in france 1973 the osmonds are legends they lasted longer than bay city Rollers

Великолепная песня! Мне 64 и эта песня возвращает меня в мою юность...

[@joannebamfordmccombs9755]

I'm in my 60's and have always admired the Osmonds...especially Donny of course, being a product of the 60's and 70's. I am enjoying learning more about the family's talent. They all are amazing!

[@kevinsturges6957]

This is brilliant! I love their white costumes and happiness. I wish bands like this would come back in style again. 💥

[@osarecool]

Me too

[@karenstone2433]

It was a different type of song but I love it

[@mattstickle2725]

Who knew Alan sang this? Have thought this was Merrill for the last 50 years.

[@JoeHernandez-zi1rs]

I would've SWORN Merrill sang lead on this song! This video blew me away with a new revelation! The Osmonds, and The Plan are true G.O.A.T.S!!!

[@alleycatpinkcat3841]

Amazing to see them actually singing it.

[@geneWebb-uh5fg]

Never seen this video before the song is giving me Beatles Sergeant pepper vibes😊

[@Ami_des_slows]

Merci Samantha pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2023 comme en 1973.50 ans et pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) !

[@danaezama5701]

I love this song - one of my favorite Osmond videos. They are so talented and if people heard it today, it would probably be more popular than it was in the 70's.

[@maryanndalton5029]

This is the first time I have ever seen Alan singing lead. Sounds good to me.

[@anne-mariewoloszyn1194]

I can never get enough of this video. I can’t stop watching it.

[@AmethystRaven]

When I first heard this i thought it was Alan and then I changed my mind again and again glad there's finally proof

[@kljenkins64]

The Plan has always been my favorite Osmond album.

[@aaropajari7058]

It's about judgement day when we must account before God, our lives displayed for all to see like on a movie screen.

[@BobbyMidnightRocks]

I cant believe it. I loved this song back in the day, never thought i would see a video for it. I was 10 when they did this.

[@albertomartinmaldonado]

Muy buena canción y fuera de lo común,aunque sí tiene cierto toque Beatle.🤗🤗🤗

[@tonycritcher3419]

Thank you, I don't recall ever seeing this. The Plan is a beautiful album with so many messages and styles of music. For years I thought Let me in was just a love song, but one day it just hit me that it is more a song of repentance and realisation that we really do need spiritual guidance as we can make so many mistakes going on in our own 'sweet' way. As for Movie Man, it shows we have to be accountable for our actions. Great songs

[@osarecool]

Yes - the Plan has many great messages on it. I think that "Let Me In" is probably the most relatable song ever written, and the fact that it's just so wonderful to listen to makes it even better.

[@tonycritcher3419]

@@osarecool I can't argue with that!

Единственная песня "The Osmonds", которая ещё тогда понравилась, и нравится до сих пор.

I'd read it was Alan but was sure it was Merrill. It's that high bit 'take the stand' - that sounds like Merrill! Love this track.

[@kevinsturges6957]

Incredible singers. It’s an interesting thought that Allan Osmond could have taken Peter Gabriel’s place in Genesis, or became the lead singer of Aphrodites Child on the 666 album. That would have been an incredibly interesting experiment. 💥

[@gracefelt1416]

wow i always thought it was merrill singing. alan sounds a lot like him here. cool surprise. its obvious donnys voice is still changing cause he doesnt sing on thisvalbummat all. good job.

[@shyman99]

Donny stopped singing lead on Osmond albums when he began releasing solo albums. They wanted a clear separation. Nothing to do with his voice changing as Donny's newly recorded single "The Twelfth Of Never" was released at this same time.

[@sidneygwaltney9931]

They like the Beatles that sound

[@tinabelair5693]

I never see this

[@childsweethearts]

Samantha - What I Like ... Thank you for sharing this! Being a religious album, do you know the message of this song? Maybe about the Judgement Day?

[@osarecool]

Let's see,I'll describe it best I can, Alan of course can do it better. It's about what you do on earth. Do you think your actions here do not have consequences? "Why did you do it?" Why did you sin? "You laugh and you smile, try to run away, don't you know what you do you might regret one day? There is one who has eyes on your evil ways, the Movie Man." -God. God is watching at all times. "Even what you're thinking, everyone will know. That's the day you'll have to take the stand..." God knows everything you think and do, one day it will all be revealed. Will you be able to account for all your sins? "Don't take it too easy" - Don't relax or become to at ease. You could go, well this one little lie won't hurt.... "Please don't let me see you cry, let me say I'm sorry." Don't let Jesus weep for another lost soul. That's about repenting and saying sorry. --- And that's what I think it means...
