A+ for pitch control. Add another plus for youth of singers bein able to stay on pitch so well.

Jay is so adorable. He was always my favorite Osmond.

they could bring this entertainment back any day

I miss the 50's and 60's ......and I wasn't even born then!

Jay is just too too cute! So are Wayne, Merrill and Alan.

I loved it, thank you

okay...don't know how to explain it...I've watched this video every day (at least once) for a week. its addicting. :-)

On this day in 1962 {December 20th} the Osmonds Brothers appeared for the first time on the NBC-TV program 'The Andy Williams Show'... They performed the song " I'm A Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas"... The song was composed by band leader Phil Baxter... It was successfully covered by Louis Armstrong, Phil Harris, Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys, and countless others... {Dumas is a town in northern Texas, population around 15,000}

Earnest Susan... I whole heartedly agree!!!! Although the younger generation loves this level of entertainment... I sooooo miss "REAL" talent like this. These brothers are great...and who doesn't love Donny. HappyHolidays! ; )

I had no idea that they had performed this song! WBAP-AM used to spin the 1937 Bob Wills version of this song when I was a small child!

well i saw joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat in the 8th grade, so i got really interested in Donny. i did a little historical research and fell in love with their music in the process.

I love this video. Jay was somethin', wasn't he? :-)

Jay is so cute! Love it!

i was a few months old when the show started (the one in the 90s). i watched a handful of their show from the 70s and i loved them.

The other day I was watching Match Game and Gene mentioned this song!

I am a woman actually and not a good sir (lol) but thanks for the appreciation. I think most people who are Donny's age don't get how rare it is to have a celeb. in their 50s who's still as clean as donny is (not to mention alan wayne merrill and jay)

Aww I love this. Such a neat family. We sure need more of this today that's for sure. Jay is adorable.

Dumas is a nice little town, there's a jet in the park, and a small canyon thing behind walmart

exactly. you have it correct my good sir

Thank you for posting this, I enjoy it so much! I've loved the Osmonds since back in the day!

Thank you once again... : ) SeasonsGreetings!!!!

What I notice too as a 32 year old is that the "12" year old (I believe correct me if i am wrong) pictured here acting more mature than most "adult" stars.

59 years ago today

The funny thing is I am remembering hearing Donny talk about that last little dude in the line was dating his "pretty lady" of late and he stole her from HIM!! What stories to tell Donny's kids.

Thank you for your opinion.... HappyHolidays!!!

Alans voice

also the very tight harmony

also was it from "those old days" when adults in their 50's who were celebs as kids still acted respectable like Donny does. Most adults are out to cause as much troube as they can.

Alan is so cute

Cute!

Jay's got it going on!

Straight barbershop harmony...awesome! lol

I assume you mean the movie when you say Joseph (that you saw in 8th grade) For a good laugh, and a good picture of Donny/Marie as adults search Donny Marie show 1998--a 2-3 year talk show on probably before you were born (or you were really little) basically just a clip show and them hanging out and enjoying one another's company!! Very sweet/

well i was born in late '97

im in the teen years ; )

Where is Francis?

2:08

Donny is cute

Me what the osmond brother Jay Wayne merrily donny Alan

i think Allan was 12. and yes i completely agree with how he was portrayed as a good clean cut mature little whippersnapper XD

yep yep yep

Im from Dumas

Great analogy. MAde me LOL (literally)

Shig: I agree that his family probably encouraged him to act like a "clean cut whipper snapper" but I honestly think he was that clean cut at 12 as I said more than most adults now a days are. Alan, Merryl, Wayne, Jay AND DONNY all put the person who remarries every five months to shame.

It isn't like Alan could "portray himself as a clean cut kid if he was acting up off stage. push comes to show him and Jay at 7 and 12 act more mature than most celebrities today/

So Shig: Are you my age (30)s or Donny or his older brother's age?

woops. I should have said nowhere close to my age. I just saw my typo. :(

You'll never see kids perform as well together as these guys did because they're too undisciplined

Ahh so you are a pre-teen basically! LOL! I have a cousin your age!! :) If you are a 1998 baby.
