The Osmonds - Let Me In (1972)
Музыка
The Osmonds are an American family music group who reached the height of their fame in the early to mid- 1970s. Currently consisting of a duo of original members Merrill Osmond and Jay Osmond, the group had its best-known configurations as a quartet (billed as the Osmond Brothers) and a quintet (as the Osmonds). The group has comprised siblings who are all members of a family of musicians from Ogden, Utah and have been in the public eye since the 1960s.
The Osmond Brothers began as a barbershop quartet consisting of brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay. They were later joined by younger siblings Donny and Jimmy, both of whom enjoyed success as solo artists. With the addition of Donny, the group became known as the Osmonds; performing both as teen idols and as a soft rock band, their peak lasted from 1971 to 1975. Their only sister Marie, who rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful career in 1973, both as a solo artist and as Donny's duet partner. By 1976, the band was no longer producing hit singles; that year, they transitioned into television with Donny & Marie, a popular variety show that ran until 1979.
A revival of the original Osmond Brothers lineup in the 1980s achieved moderate success in country music, and both Donny and Marie separately made comebacks in their respective fields in the late-1980s. The Osmonds have sold over 77 million records worldwide. The quartet continued to perform through their 50th anniversary in 2007, at which point Alan and later Wayne retired due to health issues; Jimmy was recruited after Alan's retirement, with the group performing as a trio until Jimmy suffered a stroke and retired in 2018. Alan's son David Osmond performed with the group in 2019. On October 14, 2019, the original Osmond Brothers quartet reunited for CBS' The Talk for their sister Marie's 60th birthday, billed as the last appearance for the lineup. The brothers performed "The Last Chapter," written as a farewell song and introduced in 2018. Donny & Marie ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency on November 16, 2019. Merrill and Jay continue to perform and tour, as does Donny as a solo artist.

I got teased in a christian school because i loved the osmonds and there songs .i say, so what .they dont know the healing powers they had .just turn on there music. the harmonies and heartfelt songs that went in an lp .they all r good people with good hearts and minds
I think this is their best song! ✌🏻❤️
A recent interview with Alan and Suzanne clarifies that this song is about returning to the Gospel and following the Savior. Not getting back together with a girlfriend.
Those harmonies!! Wonderful. I'm a teen in the 70s again 😢😊

В далеких 70 услышала эти голоса в передаче "на всех широтах", вот на дворе 2023 и вновь слышу эти юношеские голоса... Опять, как много лет назад, я ещё юная девчонка с хвостиками на голове..., вся жизнь еще впереди, полная любви, романтики.. ... Спасибо...

You can truly hear the Beatles influence in this song. The way Merril sings is very reminiscent of Paul McCartney. The Osmonds were really extremely talented and very underrated as singers, dancers, musicians, song writers and all around artists.

omg, no kidding. those harmonies are breathtakingly beautiful. i think in part because they are all family and already sound very similar. funny how that works in families. but the dedication in practice that they did clearly shows in everything that they entertained us with. this family is pure joy. such a treat to watch. in a world filled with such garbage, especially in that industry, it is such a pleasure to see them all proceeding in love. love and peace to you and all, xxxxxxx
True to who they are. So authentic, thank God their authenticity is relevant today. Timeless Osmond’s.

I heard they add to teach their siblings the instruments because they couldn't afford music lessons for everyone. I'm not sure if each person taught one thing or how it worked
The Osmonds started out as rock &Roll; go back and listen to the crazy horses, album, phase 3 album and the plan album! The Osmonds rocked!
Im 66 next month willalways love them
One of my favorite songs of The Osmonds. Still love the voice of Merrill, after all these years

Yes I agree the Osmonds are awesome singers, Merrill has a great voice to
A masterpiece. What sounds like a love song and is actually a song of repentance. Two meanings for the price of one. The Plan is a wonderful album. I wonder what the initial album would have sounded like had the scores not been destroyed in a fire whilst on tour.
Easily my favourite Osmonds song, simply brilliant.

Such beautiful harmonies. I've loved the Osmonds since I was 12 years old. I'm now 65 & I still love them. 😁💕
Great harmonies and the terrific voice of Merrill's, the Osmonds really were the business.
If there was one moment in the course of human history that merged two words ..."guilty" and "pleasure"... this was that moment.
very good group sang it like it was in the times this is fantastic enjoyed there songs so much better than todays songs x
This song about letting the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives as our saviour. . Long live Merrill and the Osmond brothers . God bless XXX 🙏

welcome to the wonderful world of the osmonds. this is one of their best, imo, but they have a lot of terrific songs. check out 'let me in' for another favourite of mine. i've loved them since the early seventies, and loved them during their {too long} period of not being cool. now as a middle aged man it's ok to admit i love them still, even if it is or isn't cool. i don't even know if they've moved into being cool. at my age, it doesn't matter anymore. at this stage of my game it's all about love and joy, and making the most of what this beautiful life has to offer. and this family have been the epitome of that. in their industry which is filled with utter garbage and over sexed everything, they've always shared their light of love and purity. they sound beautiful. harmonies to bring this world joy. how much better a legacy could anyone leave? love and peace to you and all, xxxxxxx
Had this on lp as a child. I played it often, as a result, it's pops in to my head every now and then, but haven't listened to it since I was around 6 years old. Brilliant memories associated with the music, amazing lush vocals... thanks for the music, and the great teeth!
I like that song sung by the Osmonds

I remember hearing this song about 5 years ago, and hadn't heard it for over 45years! What can I say, it brought back a thousand memories of when I was a child in the 70s.😢 I was in bits 😢😢 Beautiful song 🎵 ❤️
Woke at 3 am with " go away little girl " in my head. Funny , Just like the Jackson 5 , no one cared about anyone but the youngest singer. It was then .... MJ or Donny O.... no one at the time knew who would win. !
Unbelievable all this time has passed, yet the band and their songs can still hold up today.
Love all the Osmond songs 🎵 ❤️ Merrill what a voice u have...Love the Osmonds...

Merrill and Donny were the 2 i had a massive Crush on when i saw them at Madison Square Garden in NYC when i was just 14 years old. and i am still there #1 fan today. i am 62 and have a 30 year old son who enjoys some of there famous hits as well.
I can't believe this song was 50 yrs ago i was 8 yrs old its still 1 of my favourite songs brings back so many cherished childhood memories 💔 my late sister and myself were obsessed with The Osmonds ❤️had posters covering are bedroom walls & wore badges🥰 Definitely my favourite blast from the past group and song ❤️what a voice Merrill & the band i loved Donny 😍 they had everything voices, beautiful harmonies and boy they could dance just LOVE The Osmonds ❤️

Did you know thry wrote this song from the album 'the plan". Based on their faith and beliefs. Even most of us thought this is a love song, it is but not in the way you think. This is a love song to our Father in Heaven. Their faith and belief in family is the reason that most of them have been married for over 40 years. I just wish that we could get the rock and roll hall of fame would honor them before we lose them.
Ive always liked this song we used drive people crazy by playing it over and over, However i was disappointed when finding out the song was actually about the Mormon church 😮 still it's a classic ❤

Yes I'm listening. It's a proper goose bumps song.
Merrill had a truly amazing voice...they were great song writers and enthusiastic performers...and to my then adolescent self Donny looked so pretty 😭....he was my first crush I suppose, so has a special place in my heart (me and my sis went to see Donny in Glasgow UK a few years back; he was still able to rock with the best of 'em!)
