The Osmonds
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Backgroun" is not recognized
The Osmonds are an American family music group with a long and varied career—a career that took them from singing barbershop music as children to achieving success as teen-music idols, from producing a hit television show to continued success as solo and group performers. The Osmonds are devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and their religious values have influenced their careers.
The Osmonds began as a barbershop quartet consisting of brothers Alan, Wayne, Merril, and Jay Osmond. They were later joined by younger siblings Donny and Jimmy. Their only sister Marie, who rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful solo career in 1973. The family has sold 102 million records worldwide.
The siblings' older brothers George Virl Osmond, Jr. (Virl) and Tom Osmond were born deaf and did not originally perform. They made several television appearances in later years, most notably on the family Christmas specials in the 1970s. All of the Osmonds were born in Ogden, Utah except the youngest, Jimmy, who was born in Canoga Park, California.
Osmonds (album)
Osmonds is the debut album released by The Osmonds under MGM. The only single from the album, "One Bad Apple", became a number-one hit according to the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The album reached number 14 on the Billboard Top Lps chart on February 27, 1971. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 13, 1971.
Track listing
Review
Allmusic review by Dave Thompson
Galloping into view on the back of the hit "One Bad Apple," itself sliced so firmly in the shape of a Jackson 5 45 that it was easy to see the market that the Osmonds hankered for, the brothers' eponymous debut LP nevertheless finds them still putting performance ahead of personality, and barely hinting at the heights they would soon be scaling (Donny Osmond's "Sweet and Innocent" showcase notwithstanding, of course!). Workaday versions of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Catch Me Baby" are draped around a Motown medley that contrarily ranks among the least soulful excursions you could imagine -- live, it surely packed a soupçon of excitement, but in the confines of a studio that the siblings were still coming to grips with, it's a lackluster lump in the heart of an only marginally more impressive long-player.

Before The Beginning
by: OsmondsBefore the beginning
We were living
Oh, so far away from here
And we called it home
But didn't stay
We knew that we could leave one day
And cry
Before the beginning
We were willing
To lay aside who we had been
And take a chance
To slip away
Or make it back to home one day
What for?
Ever since we came to be
With the plan, we learned to see
We alone would guide our destiny
In the beginning
We'd be living as we would be
He once was
To look at him, to look at me
And think someday like him I'll be
What more?
Ever since we came to be
With the plan, we learned to see
We control infinity
What more?
