.famous or not it is life good up bringing and friends family and selfx

Merrill !!!!!!! He's not only an extremely talented singer and musician, but he's one of the nicest human beings you'll ever want to meet. I've met him on many occasions, and he was always friendly, kind, warm, happy to stop and talk with fans ... and just an overall wonderful guy! Other family members that my friends and I found to be very, very nice ... every time we saw and met them ... were Alan and Jimmy. It's been way too long; I think the last time I saw any of them in-person was '84 (at Disneyland).

@@CanadianAmerican dan luckily you in what year was that it very nice when famous person take the time to be friendly I have never meet any of the osmonds but. I like some of there music x

@@susanmurdock9055 Hi Susan - The only members of the family I never were Virl and their mother, Olive. O.K., so the first time I saw the Osmonds perform - and met some of them - was in 1978, in Las Vegas. My parents knew I watched the Donny & Marie Show, and since we went to Vegas all the time anyway, we went when they were performing. Saw several shows since performers do a dinner show and a later show. Saw more Vegas shows in '79 and '80, although it was only Donny, Marie and Jimmy who performed those two years, at least in Vegas. I didn't think I'd see any of the brothers since they weren't performing, but Merrill walked into the coffee shop - and my jaw fell to the floor. Ha! Still have that photo I took of him inside the elevator. Since then, my friends and I were at numerous concerts where just the four older brothers - who were now a country act - performed (a few shows in Reno, Nevada ... and numerous shows in California ... up until 1985. Even saw them at Disneyland in 1984. - Growing up in Los Angeles, I've met quite a few celebrities, but I must say that the Osmonds were among the nicest. We always stayed in the same hotels, as well, so meeting them before and / or after the shows was just a regular thing. While they were all pretty nice, I would have to say that Alan, Merrill and Jimmy went above and beyond being nice. They would stop and talk with us, pose for photos and such ... oh, what I wouldn't give to go back in time just to relive even one of those shows. Happiest memories of my childhood for sure.

Jay. Always Jay for me

And continue to gain new fans from my generation

Exactly! After 60 years of show business being on the road and having health issues how much longer should they keep on going for? They've done way more than enough more than most people it's time for them to rest and enjoy life.

I know you did not know this And not to be rude But it is DONNY not Donnie Donny hates when people spell his name wrong so just a friendly puting it out there In case you ever meet him

So is Marie

Donny, Jimmy and Jay have the most sex appeal out of all the brothers.

Faith and Family can get you through anything.

Hello beautiful

Kaye Carlson Oh my goodness I don’t think there’s a stage big enough to hold them all; probably need a stadium! LOL But I would love that too & to have the guys introduce their wives & kids with their spouse then the grandkids could I introduce themselves & say how old they are. Everyone could tell about their favorite family memories from their own family & the ones from when they were growing up too. I would so love that. Hope they see this & do it!!!

@Diane Powers I did see that; I loved it. Since then Jay has divorced & remarried & Tom has divorced but as far as I know has not remarried. Last info I have is that Jay & wife, Karen, are living in England & working on a movie about The Osmonds that tells All with no sugar coating things. He also still performs some with Merrill. Merrill is still going strong performing. Donny has new Album & projects & Marie has projects also. Just hope the rest of the Family are doing well also.

Omg! I would love one more special too! It's the same with the Jackson family! Growing up with these two families has such lovely memories! Plus, they sang some of the same songs! It's the end of an era, in which people actually had talent!

@@dianeoliver9041 Not to be a downer, but I would love to see the movie about the Osmonds families' issues. Back in the day, I remember the family having to "side step" racism within the church and upright deny Marie's divorce until the newspapers forced them to announce it. I know they are not supposed to be political. However, if Dolly Parton can speak through her good works and support the LGBTQA community, then so can the Osmonds! I mean Ms. Dolly has always been like, "I can't say nothin' about my fans because I love them so. Da dunn supported me all my life!" Now, that statement shuts up the haters real quick. I just wish the Osmonds were more forthcoming because young people look to their heros for support. Naturally, I understand the families' need for privacy. However, I wished they had worked more on just being themselves and less on being squeaky clean role models no one could immulate! That said, I do respect them for having principles and sticking with them!

@@fredrika27 They don’t claim to be perfect & admit to having family problems, arguments & the same issues that everyone else has but they do try to live according to their Religious Beliefs. And they have never took drugs or drank alcoholic beverages like most people in music or entertainment industry. They are Not Prejudice & were good friends with Michael Jackson and they accept Gays as a matter of fact Marie has a daughter that is gay, & she is very supportive of her. You said you’d like to see a movie that shows the real side of their life problems, arguments, everything... well Jay has spent the last few years working on something just like that, it does not sugar coat them ( his own words). I think it is coming out as a play like Jersey Boys did. But they are REAL people just like all of us are worts & bumps

God doesn’t bless Mormons.

Saw Osmonds 29 May 1975, 4 Osmonds 10 years ago and tonight I am going to see Merrill Osmond at the grand old age of 61.

I’ll help you out Brothèr!

@@kirkscobey3031 Right on! It's all groooovy!

Hello beautiful

The Family A Proclamation to the World The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. All human beings-male and female-are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of Heavenly Parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally. The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife. We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan. Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives-mothers and fathers-will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations. The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed. We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets. We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society. This proclamation was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

And your point is?

@@user-yr9lt7dz8k yes. I agree with this proclamation. Don't you?

🙏💛

I hope your life is much better now...... free from hardships and struggles. Much happiness and blessings to you.

@@dimar7641 Thank you for your prayers, I'm alright now living with my own family and as humans, we will have to face trials, and tribulations throughout our life, it may be a different kind each time but it will also make us strong, resilient and wiser. At this period of time with the pandemic situation, my hope is that we will all be as one fighting this and always ensure to take measures to protect ourselves and our families, may God grant us spiritual strength, a lot of patience, and success in the struggles. So get vaccinated and be safe, love from Singapore!

This was me too!
