The Donnie and Marie Show was a big part of my childhood. I didn't realize at the time that they were only a few years older than me, just teenagers. They seemed so grown-up to me.

You may or may not recognize her from the Nutri System Commercials. Also she is the co founder of the Women and Children’s Miracle Network Telethon,which began way back when her mother Olive started home schooling her two eldest brothers Virl and Tom who are deaf,after doctors told George and Olive to leave them in an institution. At the height of Osmond mania , they started the Osmonds Foundation for the deaf and speech impaired,that branched into the Miracle Network

Notice how modest Marie Osmond dressed yet could outshine any of the contemporary artists of today. I grew up around those times when they had great variety shows in the late 60s and early to mid 70s. What an innocent time for most kids.

That man who introduced her was the very famous "Bob Hope".

I saw Marie in concert a few months ago, she puts on a great show. She brought one of her nephews (he is a very talented) with her plus 2 male dancers. Her concert was in a small venue (an audience of about 1600). If she makes an appearance close to you go see her). She said she still performs because her children are grown and she liked to perform. She also said she only performs on weekends because she doesn’t want to be on the road constantly. I believe she will be 64 years old in September.

LeAnn Rimes was also young like that when she did Blue, and so was Tanya Tucker back in the Delta Dawn days, and they both had voices way beyond their years.

Her voice is so incredibly smooth, especially for a young teen.

The theme song for the Donnie & Marie Show was the two of them singing. Marie's line was, "I'm a little bit country" and Donnie sang, "I'm a little bit rock n roll".

I remember dancing the foxtrot to this song. Funny to think that when I was a kid, I thought Donny & Marie were a couple, like Sonny & Cher and Captain & Tennille. Only a few years later did I find out they were siblings and I had my first idol crush. Another great voice in the Osmond family is Jimmy.

I remember as a little boy growing up and my parents would watch the "Donny and Marie show". Marie was my first ever crush back then. 🥰

The show host is Bob Hope - who probably wrote the whole after-song interview. He was a legendary comedian who did a lot of USO tours with other stars of the day.

Finally! Yes! Knew you’d get to this. Enjoy!

A lot of people don’t know but Marie’s real first name is Olive, the same name as her mother.

She was only 13 when she released Paper Roses.

As a little girl, I loved Donny and Marie. My favorite was their cover of Deep Purple.

She was only 13 when she recorded this. I was 8 and I had a big crush on her. You can bet she was the main reason I watched the Donny and Marie show that came on several years later. You've now hit them all except Jimmy, the youngest of the bunch, and he was the first one of them all to get a gold record at age 9! Before you check out Donny and Marie you might want to look up some of the Osmonds appearances on the Andy Williams show. He was the one that introduced them to the country. Alan, Wayne, Merril, and Jay appeared first and then over the years they added Donny, Marie, and finally little Jimmy. Then you can see how much older they all are on the Donny and Marie show.

Marie has had an incredible career starting with her appearance on The Andy Williams show with her brothers at age 3, I believe.

She toured with The Sound of Music much later and I was fortunate to meet her after the show. I also met her at a doll signing promoting her doll line. She’s performed in Branson Missouri and Las Vegas along with annual Christmas tours.
