I Love Donny Osmond!

From the moment I first laid eyes on Donny Osmond, it was puppy love! I have such sweet memories of Donny. He was my showtime love (at that time, my merely love). Upwards until that signal, I didn't know what love was. I was just thirteen years former and, to me, boys were but boys and girls were just girls.

I remember the very showtime time I saw Donny on TV. That moment felt so romantic. I can all the same imagine it. I was sitting at the dinner table, roast beef, boiled potatoes, and carrots were on the plate in front of me. Those carrots were so orangish and red. They stand out in my listen.

Why? Because, I choked on the darn things! Donny was on, and when I turned effectually to sentry him sing, something strange happened to my body and listen. I felt like my tummy was dropping to my boots, my head felt hot and, in my mire (so to speak), I swallowed a carrot and information technology went down the incorrect way!

My mum jumped up and bashed me on the back. I retrieve flapping my easily at her to "Become out of the darn way!" If I was going to suffocate, and then at to the lowest degree let me see my honey! Ah, memories! Of class, from that moment on, he has influenced my choice of men. They were ever dark haired and slim. And so, in tribute to my first love, I present to you my favorite songs sung by Donny Osmond. Thank y'all, Donny!

"Immature Love"—1973
"Puppy Dear"—1972
"Too Young"—1972
"When I Fall in Honey"—1973
"The Twelfth of Never"—1973

"Immature Dear"—1973

In 1973, Donny revived this 1956 hit. Originally written by Ric Carter and Carole Joyner, it was such a hit that it was covered many times over, by such singers as Sonny James and Tab Hunter, just to proper noun a few. That said, the 1973 version is the absolute best.

Young dearest (young dear), first love (first dear)

Filled with true devotion

Young love (young love), our dearest (our love)

Nosotros share with deep emotion

— Donny Osmond, "Young Love"

"Puppy Dear"—1972

Knowing my past, it'south obvious why I'd cull this vocal. Allow's face it, what I felt for Donny Osmond at that fourth dimension was pretty much the definition of puppy dear. I suppose you lot could say I had an enormous crush!

The song was first written past Paul Anka in 1960. He wrote the song for his love, Annette Funicello, who he was dating at that time. The love may not take lasted, simply the vocal has endured.

Someone, help me, assist me, help me delight

Is the reply up above

How tin I, oh how tin can I tell them

This is not a puppy honey

— Donny Osmond, "Puppy Love"

"As well Immature"—1972

Considering my teenage crush on Donny, this is another very appropriate vocal. I loved this one, as information technology seemed at the time equally though information technology were written for me and Donny! Ah, youth, so young and innocent, simply magical none the less.

"A Time for United states of america"—1973

A Time For Us is the sixth studio album by Donny Osmond. Information technology reached the elevation 100 on the Billboard charts and was certified aureate in Jan 1974.

The vocal "A Fourth dimension for Us" was also the beloved theme of the film Romeo and Juliet (1968), which starred Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. If you want to lookout any film adaptation of a Shakespeare play, then this is the one to watch. It is a fabulous film!

A fourth dimension for u.s. someday at that place'll be

When chains are torn by courage born of a dearest that'south free

A fourth dimension when dreams so long denied can flourish

Every bit we unveil the dear we now must hide

— Donny Osmond, "A Time for Us"

"When I Fall in Love"—1973

"When I Fall in Love" was written by Victor Young, who wrote the music, and Edward Hayman, who came upwardly with the wonderful lyrics (back in April of 1952). In fact, information technology was offset sung in the movie One Minute to Zilch, which starred Robert Mitchum and Ann Blythe. It'south one of my favorite Donny songs ever!

When I autumn in dearest it volition be forever

Or I'll never fall in dearest

In a restless world like this is

Honey is ended before it'southward begun.

— Donny Osmond, "When I Fall in Love"

"The Twelfth of Never"—1973

"The 12th of Never" was written and performed past Johnny Mathis. Information technology was released for the first time in 1957. Cliff Richard too recorded the record. The nearly popular and well-known version was, of course, recorded and sung by Donny Osmond in 1973.

This is my favorite of all Donny Osmond's records. The beginning time I heard it, I fell in love with the song. After all these years, it yet brings a tear to my eye to remember those days when I barbarous in love for the first time.

Y'all enquire me how much I need you

Must I explicate

I need you oh my darling

Similar roses need rain.

— Donny Osmond, "The Twelfth of Never"

Donny's Career Since So...

Then, what has Donny been doing since performing all of these famous songs? Well, for many years, Donny and his sis Marie have been performing together as a duo. He also starred every bit Joseph in the famous film adaptation of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, where he sung lead on the song "Coat of Many Colours." And, to acme off an already incredible career, he won Dancing with the Stars back in 2009.

He has likewise been known to host a few game shows in his time, such as Pyramid and The Keen American Dream Vote. Along with radio shows and musical theater, Donny is every bit successful today as he was back then as a teen. 1 of the reasons that Donny is however in the public eye is considering he has learned to adapt and modify. His music is different, more mellow, and he has embraced work in films and Goggle box. On height of that, he is withal as handsome as ever. Maybe not in that boyish cute kind of mode, but in a warm way, having that beautiful and friendly smiling.

Donny however has millions of fans all over the world (that includes me). I may exist an adult now, with many years on the clock, simply I still remember that first affluent of love when I looked beyond the room at the TV and idea, "Wow who is that boy?" It was that moment of heart-melting romance that lead me to met and marry a nighttime haired man.

Hello NellRose! This hub is such a smash from the by for me! So many memories. I endemic Puppy Love. It had Let My People Go on the flipside which is why a family member gave it to me for my birthday in 1972. I remember a friend from school named Penny who wore purple socks in Donny'south honor. She and I choreographed a really silly dance routine to Puppy Love in my sister's full length mirror to entertain ourselves on a rainy day that summer, probably 1973. I can smell the musty citrus funk of Diorella which I'g pretty certain my sister used to bathe in when she bathed at all. I remember couple skating in one case with a really beautiful boy to The 12th of Never. Everybody smelled similar Ten o Six lotion and Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers so that was probably well-nigh 1974. The seventies were so much fun when they weren't completely terrifying.
