Post by SAT-I need more room!! on Jul 2, 2003 11:21:27 GMT -5
All sorts of requests today! (THANKS KATH!!  ) Donny Osmond-I know he did Go Away Little Girl, and my buddy even bought me that album on used vinyl as a joke. But I don't remember hearing any of his stuff growing up. Faves-none. Donny & Marie-Ok, of course I know, I'm a Little Bit Country....and I have heard their take on I'm Leaving it All Up to You. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Fave-Little Bit Country. Osmonds-The only one I know is One Bad Apple. Good tune. The white Jacksons. I remember my dad was searching for the single of Down By the Lazy River, but I still don't know how it goes. Fave-One Bad Apple. Tony Orlando & Dawn-I thought maybe we did them under Dawn, but to avoid a debate like the Cougar/Mellencamp one, I'm just doing it here. Knock Three Times is pretty fun, but I am sick of Tie a Yellow Ribbon. Hey, they got a Behind the Music! Fave-Knock Three Times. Pablo Cruise-So finally, we enter the P's! Can't believe I Go to Rio didn't crack the Top 40, I remember it so well. Whatcha Gonna Do? is a classic too, but NOTHING beats Love Will Find a Way! An all time fave for me! "Whoa, but it's alright......ALRIGHT!..." Love it! Faves-Love Will Find a Way, Whatcha Gonna Do?, I Go to Rio. And you? |

Donny Osmond - I don't know any of his solo stuff, but Rosie O'Donnell loved him so he must have been good! I like the song that the two of them did together on her first Christmas album. Fave - Winter Wonderland w/ Rosie.
Donny & Marie - Love I'm A Little Bit Country...Such a catchy tune! I imagine their variety show was very good, although I've never gotten the opportunity to see it. That talk show they had a couple years ago was wonderful. Too bad it got yanked.
Osmonds - Don't know any stuff by the whole family.
Tony Orlando & Dawn - Knock Three Times is fun, but a little run in the ground. I don't like Tie a Yellow Ribbon at all. My greatest memory of this group is one of the members of Dawn - Telma Hopkins. She played Rachel on Family Matters. I loved her on that show!

Hey, let's go back to those fun lovin' innocent 70's! ;D Donny Osmond--all right, individual Osmond entries are fine too! Boy, did my sister LOVE this young man! Did a great job of hosting Pyramid, too. Most of his remakes were better by the original artist from earlier, but I seriously can't find anything wrong with this dude! Great smiles! I'd love to see him arm wrestle with the guys like Alice Cooper and Ozzy! ;D Faves-- Soldier of love The twelfth of never Go away little girl Hey girl (best version of this Freddie Scott song) Young love Puppy love Sweet and innocent My love is a fire (another comeback era tune) Sacred emotion C'mon Marianne Donny & Marie--What a great TV show! Usually sang the "Country/rock 'n roll" song on every show. And their remakes were all right. Faves-- I'm leaving it all up to you Deep purple Morning side of the mountain Ain't nothing like the real thing On the shelf (Donny & Marie go disco!) Make the world go away Osmonds--Almost a 3 way tie for my fave today. But not quite my winners. Still a BIG fave from my family! And as a group, considerably better listening today than the solo Osmonds. Even went into country in the 80's (without Donny), which wasn't quite as good as their pop/rock hits of the 70's. Faves-- One bad apple (Top 100) Down by the lazy river ("We're gonna PROVE we're not just another sappy bubblegum boy group!") Hold her tight Love me for a reason (SUPER ballad) Yo-yo Double lovin' Goin' home The proud one Crazy horses (definitely NOT bubblegum) Let me in (Beatles/ELO influenced?) Peace (LOVED this album cut growing up) I can't live a dream Tony Orlando/Dawn--Hate to be a pain, Sat, but they WERE covered under D. But who cares? ;D As much innocent fun as the Osmonds, maybe more! Nearly everyone in my family loved their music. Rumor has it I have the same personality disorder as Tony Orlando, but I don't wish to go any further without IM's. Perhaps why I'm a real sympathetic sucker for his singing. Faves: Tie a yellow ribbon (I'm not sure about top 100, but quite high) Knock 3 times Candida Steppin' out He don't love you like I love you ...My sweet gypsy rose What are you doing Sunday I play and sing Look in my eyes pretty woman Who's in the Strawberry patch with Sally Summer sand Mornin' beautiful And others... Pablo Cruise--Have I LOVED this group since they were current! My fave today, and maybe my 2nd fave "P" act of all time...  A most wonderful sound that crosses the boundaries of pop, rock, and easy listening. Have their 2 big albums from '77 and '78, as well as their "Cool love" single from '81. Dave Jenkins and Cory Lerios can't go wrong! Faves-- Whatcha gonna do Don't want to live without it (One of my all-time faves not to reach top 20) Love will find a way A place in the sun Cool love I go to Rio I want you tonight Never had a love Slip away And MANY album cuts whose names escape me! Let's see...Patti Page (POSSIBLY could you include her tomorrow?), Robert Palmer, Ray Parker Jr, HMMM....Possibly (insert my avatar here) tomorrow? |

Donny Osmond - I remember hearing his songs every so often - Puppy Love ,Sweet and Innocent , Go Away Little Girl) I've mentioned before that my cousin had a big crush on him in the early 70's (I think she had every issue of Tiger Beat magazine from '72 - '74)  Faves - none Donny and Marie - I remember watching the TV show a few times , and hearing Marie's Paper Roses . Faves - none The Osmonds - I really liked One Bad Apple(my neighbor had the 8-track) and Down By The Lazy River( we had it on K-tel's Supergreats) both excellent tunes. I remember hearing Crazy Horses as well but not when it was a hit. probably somewhere around 74 - '75 - I'm not sure how I heard the tune . Wow The Osmonds go Heavy Metal! Faves: One Bad Apple and Down By The Lazy River Tony Orlando and Dawn - I thought that Knock Three Times was good as well and I kind of liked Candida too. (The daughter that lived next -door that had the Osmond 8-track,well she had the Candida album as well:) .Knock Three Times was also on K-tel's Today's Supergreats. I had Tie a Yellow Ribbon on K-tels - 22 Fantastic Hits - thought it was alright. Faves - Knock Three times and Candida Pablo Cruise - My oldest brother had (has) A Place in The Sun and Word's Away on vinyl .So I heard their music often.Later on I got my copy of A Place.... handed down to me from my sister - in law.I bought the 45 of Love Will Find a Way when it came out and loved Cool Love - great tune! Faves - A Place in The Sun , Can't You Hear The Music , Watcha Gonna Do , Cool Love , Love Will Find a Way and World's Away. |

WHOOOPPPEEEEEE!!! My favorite musical family of all-time represented here! Donny: I just love the emotion he pours into his remakes. The minute I first heard "Puppy love", I was so "love-crushed". I bought the single like the first day it came out, and practically wore the record out! Have pretty much all the singles and albums! Donny & Marie: What man, woman or child didn't watch "The Donny & Marie Show"? The best variety show in history! Also love the solo Marie Osmond hits like "Paper Roses"! Every duet on record was wonderful! And my 2nd favorite movie of 1978 after "Grease"? Donny and Marie starring in "Goin' Coconuts"!!! Osmonds: And I pretty much own everything 70's of this group! As much as I loved the Jackson 5 in 1970, the Osmonds practically went over the top with me in "One bad apple"! And subsequent hits were super as well! "The proud one" is actually a remake of a Frankie Valli song, circa 1966, BTW. Didn't like their 80's country hits as much, but I LOVE their 3-CD Box Set on Curb Records! Tony Orlando & Dawn: This may be your best line-up ever, Sat! The earlier 70's truly had some of the best music! Favorites--all of them, with "Knock three times" being in my top 25 of all time! Pablo Cruise: Pretty decent group, played alongside with the disco of the late 70's, even though the "Cruise" were indeed more rock than disco. Their hits, especially "Love will find a way" were great. Another request for the singing rage, Miss Patti Page! BR |

Boy oh boy - what a list.
Donny Osmond - Don't like his solo stuff much at all. He was amazing as Joseph in Broadway's "...Technicolor Dreamcoat" however. He seems like a decent guy. Faves: Puppy Love (isn't this considered The Osmonds though?)
Donny & Marie - I lived for their variety show as a kid. I just loved them. Faves: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, I'm Leaving It All Up To You, On The Shelf, Everything Good Reminds Me Of You
The Osmonds - I've seen them recently (in the last 10 years) playing in Branson. Not aging well at all and they sound crappy. But back in the day they had a few songs that I love. Faves: One Bad Apple, Down By The Lazy River, Love Me For A Reason
Tony O. & Dawn - Sorry Adam, we definitely covered this lovely band already but I don't mind commenting again. Great childhood memories of transistor radios in the basket of the banana seat bike and summers at the grandparents' house. Faves: Knock 3X, He Don't Love You, Say Has Anybody Seen My Gypsy Rose, What Are You Doing Sunday
Pablo Cruise - another staple of the childhood soundtrack. My mom wore their albums out. Still a fave today. Fave tracks: Love Will Find A Way, Cool Love, Will You Won't You, Never Had A Love

 Donny Osmond: Not a fan, didn't even like his comeback singles in '89. No favorites Donny & Marie: Not a fan, no favorites Osmonds: One Bad Apple was okay I guess. No favorites Tony Orlando & Dawn: Cheesy but sometimes enjoyable music by this trio. I remember their variety show from first or second grade. Mediocre act that had some number ones by chance. Favorites = Knock Three Times, Candida Pablo Cruise: Don't really like this band either, but not intensely enough for one of my classic rants. Nor do I know anything about them..at all. Oh well...at least I only spent five minutes on this today. No favorites

HELPPPPPP! I'm surrounded by Osmonds and they won't go away.  Donny Osmond- To me, he was the worst thing to hit pop music, and held that title until rap came along. Yes folks, even worse than disco. A squeaky clean Pat Boone-ish type with a mop top, not a very good voice, and the ability to do a very bad cover of almost any song. Faves: Yeah, right. Donny & Marie- Too many bright shiny teeth! Blinding me! Help! A little better than Donny solo. Morning Side of the Mountain was actually decent. Country/Rock N Roll is tolerable. I'm Leaving It All Up To You is a almost as good as the original (but I didn't like the original). Osmonds- The best of the Osmonds was the brothers act. Some very good songs here. I particularly like Wild Horses. Yo-yo and One Bad Apple are pretty good also. But you have to admit, the Osmonds would never have even existed as a music act if not for the Jackson 5. The Osmonds were a pale copy in more ways than one. (Hey, Sat. How about Little Jimmy Osmond (Long Haired Lover from Liverpool.)? You left the littlest Osmond out.  (No. please DON'T put him in tomorrow) Tony Orlando & Dawn- I agree that Yellow Ribbon was played to death. But I really like Candida and Knock Three Times. Actually got sick of He Don't Love You even more than Yellow Ribbon. Really like some of Tony's early '60s solo hits: Halfway to Paradise, Bless You Pablo Cruise- Only familiar with Whatcha Gonna Do and Love Will Find A way. Both good tunes. |

Donny Osmond - I had a huge crush on him when I was very young! (Donny, Andy Gibb, Rick Springfield - it must sound like I had crushes on everybody! LOL! ;D) Pleasant 70's pop. Favorites: Go Away Little Girl, Puppy Love, Hey Girl.
Donny & Marie Osmond - I LOVED their variety show! I've always thought their voices sounded great together. Favorites: I'm Leaving It Up to You, Deep Purple, I'm a Little Bit Country.
Osmonds - I picked up a few of their LPs at a secondhand record shop about 2 years ago, and I was really impressed! Although many of their better-known singles are lighter and more pop-oriented, some of their album cuts have a harder rock sound that's really good! Favorites: One Bad Apple, Down By the Lazy River, The Proud One, Crazy Horses, Yo-Yo.
Tony Orlando & Dawn - I've always liked this group's music. Only a few of their songs receive much airplay these days, and that's a shame. Favorites: Mornin' Beautiful, Cupid, Knock Three Times, Look In My Eyes Pretty Woman, Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose.
Pablo Cruise - Boy, does this group's music ever bring back memories! I have one of their albums on vinyl, but wouldn't mind getting a greatest hits compilation. Favorites: I Want You Tonight (VERY overlooked on the radio these days), Love Will Find a Way, Whatcha Gonna Do?, Don't Want to Live Without It.

Yay! Adam, you're a peach!  Donny Osmond--One of my "big 3" crushes from back in the day, along with David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman. Speaking of David Cassidy, you're gonna list the Partridge Family, aren't ya? ;D Anyway, I had Donny Osmond posters all over my bedroom wall, collected every magazine and article I could find on him, and bought all his albums. Even when I see him on TV today, I get a little flash of nostalgia and I'm immediately taken back to my childhood. Faves: Puppy Love, Sweet & Innocent, I Knew You When, Go Away Little Girl, Too Young, Twelfth of Never (LOVE it), Sacred Emotion, My Love is a Fire, Soldier of Love, many many more. Donny/Marie--I have fond memories of watching their variety show with my grandma while my mom and dad were out bowling in their league every week. My grandma just loved their wholesomeness, and I have to say I enjoyed watching the show through her eyes. The Osmonds--Memories, memories, memories! I can name all the brothers for you if you'd like. Donny, Jay, Wayne, Merrill, and Alan. LMAO! Jimmy was added as part of the group in later years, I think. And then there's Virl and Tom--the two older brothers. Now you know. Had all the albums, and a few posters of them up on my wall, too. I always thought they were good vocalists--love the harmonies on some of their songs, and great musicians. I suppose they're dismissed by some people as fluffy, poppy, bubble gum oriented music, but they did have some hard edged stuff through the years. Faves: One Bad Apple, Double Lovin (Haven't heard that in years--time to dig out the old albums), Yo-Yo, Down By the Lazy River, Hold Her Tight, Crazy Horses, Love Me for a Reason, Utah, And You Love Me, tons more... Tony Orlando and Dawn--I honestly don't remember talking about them in the "D's", but that was a long time ago. I remember watching their variety show, and thinking Tony was so cute! Remember the comparisons between him and Freddie Prinze? They did kinda look alike. Reallly liked most of their songs. Pleasant, harmless pop. Faves: Knock Three Times, Yellow Ribbon, Candida, Sweet Gypsy Rose, What are you Doing Sunday, Steppin' Out, He Don't Love You, Who's In the Strawberry Patch with Sally Pablo Cruise--One of my all time favorite groups. Such upbeat, pleasant songs. I used to play their albums all the time back in the day. Faves: A Place in the Sun, Whatcha Gonna Do, Atlanta June, Never Had a Love, Love Will Find a Way, Don't Wanna Live Without it, Raging Fire (LOVE IT), I Want You Tonight, Family Man, Cool Love, Part of the Game Thanks, Adam. |

The whole Osmand deal: I liked the tv show because it was done by the Kroffts. As for anything else, I'm really not a fan.
Tony Orlando and Dawn: Again, I liked the tv show. Passable songs: Candida, He Don't Love You
Pablo Cruise: I know nothing about them, but I do like Go To Rio, and Whatcha Gonna Do.
