The Osmonds - We All Fall Down (1972)

The Osmonds are an American family music group who reached the height of their fame in the early to mid- 1970s. Currently consisting of a duo of original members Merrill Osmond and Jay Osmond, the group had its best-known configurations as a quartet (billed as the Osmond Brothers) and a quintet (as the Osmonds). The group has comprised siblings who are all members of a family of musicians from Ogden, Utah and have been in the public eye since the 1960s.
The Osmond Brothers began as a barbershop quartet consisting of brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay. They were later joined by younger siblings Donny and Jimmy, both of whom enjoyed success as solo artists. With the addition of Donny, the group became known as the Osmonds; performing both as teen idols and as a soft rock band, their peak lasted from 1971 to 1975. Their only sister Marie, who rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful career in 1973, both as a solo artist and as Donny's duet partner. By 1976, the band was no longer producing hit singles; that year, they transitioned into television with Donny & Marie, a popular variety show that ran until 1979.
A revival of the original Osmond Brothers lineup in the 1980s achieved moderate success in country music, and both Donny and Marie separately made comebacks in their respective fields in the late-1980s. The Osmonds have sold over 77 million records worldwide. The quartet continued to perform through their 50th anniversary in 2007, at which point Alan and later Wayne retired due to health issues; Jimmy was recruited after Alan's retirement, with the group performing as a trio until Jimmy suffered a stroke and retired in 2018. Alan's son David Osmond performed with the group in 2019. On October 14, 2019, the original Osmond Brothers quartet reunited for CBS' The Talk for their sister Marie's 60th birthday, billed as the last appearance for the lineup. The brothers performed "The Last Chapter," written as a farewell song and introduced in 2018. Donny & Marie ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency on November 16, 2019. Merrill and Jay continue to perform and tour, as does Donny as a solo artist.

Merrill has one of the best voices in rock.

[@flatfoot38]

Definitely bless with a great rock voice💯

[@Ieishdragyn]

Not to mention he's a serious talent as a musician, and damn good looking!!

[@lisaparsons4124]

Yes I agree awesome song and singer,merrill

[@ninamartinez5171]

Among the greatest in history ❤ the Osmond's 😊

[@my56chevy]

How can anyone not like the Osmonds!!!

[@susankfoster4639]

Unfortunately yes. They are so underrated

[@nancypietrzykowski5221]

People can laugh and joke all they want but these guys were the real deal.Merrill could sing the mess outta anything!!

[@sharky5216]

Just how versatile were these brothers and merrill and outstanding vocalist

[@puppycat58]

Merrill what a voice u have....More osmonds please 🙏

[@wayneharrison5877]

The osmonds are very talented they just couldn,t shake their boy band image and that,s a shame i myself would,ve lived to see them do more rock songs because it,s obvious that they're very good at it

[@Dana-wq5tp]

The way they were visually presented didn't do them any favors either. Those ridiculous, Elvis jump suits detracts from their musical talents and any astute music fan will immediately assume they shouldn't be taken seriously. What's even more absurd is that outside of Donny, they're all grown men by this point and should have known better.

[@sharky5216]

I thought the same as we know they were hugely compared to the Jackson 5 and where as the Jackson’s transgressed to soul and disco unfortunately the osmonds couldn’t or tried to find a alternative style such a shame

[@lriley4239]

This is one of my most favorite memories from the early 70's shows- seeing them do this live. It was incredible

[@gerseygal3633]

The Osmonds were great in the 1970s....All great musicians....

[@arinco6944]

I love all the songs on the Crazy Horses album.

[@Altoonafan]

Those were some great shows. I saw the Karate routine by the Osmonds live in Baltimore, Maryland.I believe it was November of 1973. First time I met Donny and his brothers was in 1972. The clothing was different in 1972. In any case, they are great performers.

[@catmac4700]

Is that the concert where Alan accidentally broke Jay’s nose?

[@Altoonafan]

@@catmac4700 It wasn't until later, but not in Baltimore, I do not remember where, though.

[@LauRa-re9un]

@@catmac4700 Really? I was surprised on how they didn´t touch each other but it looks like they did LOL

[@lisaparsons4124]

A awesome song, and Merrill Osmond a awesome singer, I remember in 1972, when I was 6.

[@SandyTidwell]

Always loved this song, thanks so much for posting! It's been a good long minute since the last time I heard it.

[@bureksasirom7753]

WOW!GREAT VIDEO THE OSMONDS!!!!♡

[@LauRa-re9un]

I never saw this. They are so funny performing karate fights. They never touch each other. I wonder how many hours of rehearsal they did. But they seem to enjoy it so much. So much energy. The best choreography group of all seasons. Noone beats them.

[@lisaclarke5223]

Alan actually did connect with Jay's nose, once, and broke it.

[@LauRa-re9un]

@@lisaclarke5223 I didn´t know that! That is why he had that hook nose??

[@lisaclarke5223]

Never noticed a hook in Jay's nose. 😊😁

[@LauRa-re9un]

@@lisaclarke5223 I´m sorry, I´m not native in english, may be I used the wrong word :D I meant that his nose is different from the others.

[@trubrit5036]

That was crazy. Crazy good!

[@vepiro4691]

Thx for posting. Never got to see them do their martial arts on stage, so this was extra special for me!

[@sydneym4340]

Someone on KZbin posted the 1974 T.V. appearances they did in the U.K. - On one of those episodes they perform their karate number, but they're wearing formal attire (slacks, shirts, vests). You might want to check it out. I believe it's in the 2nd show.

[@kariatkinson6065]

[@kelseyrae331]

It was during one of these routines that Alan accidentally broke Jay’s noise 😕. Thanks for Sharing❤

[@osarecool]

Oh my, thank you SO SO much for putting this up!!!! SO AWESOME

@Samatha I’m crying I’m upset Girls are So Mean To me

[@zepptar]

This is weird…. I love it!

[@veronicagarcia4983]

Love it!!

[@sydneym4340]

WOW !!! THANKS so much for posting this video !!!! You know, there are so many good tracks on the Osmond Brothers' records that rarely see the light of day, mostly because the record companies only choose a few to be released as singles. I don't know if "We All Fall Down" was ever performed in front of an audience, but if it wasn't it sure should have been. Now, I'm also wondering if you have any other videos of songs from the "Crazy Horses" album, that weren't released as singles? They must have performed several songs on the same day, at the same session as this one, so I'm hoping there are more. Thanks again !!!!!!!!!

[@creativecook100]

Elvis suggested they do karate in their numbers and they were trained by Chuck Norris

[@deborahearle4151]

Asian martial arts were very popular with entertainers back then. But now this video looks dated.
