Have just unsuccessfully tried to convince Jonesey at Uncut that it's worth doing "The Plan" in their "All-Time Classics" section. It's the Polyphonic Spree 30 years early! Oh well, I'll just have to write about it on Church of Me instead (appropriately) ;-)

The only two tracks worth mentioning are already in my Teenyboppers OP10 thread.

four years pass...

George Osmond RIP:

George was a singer who taught four of his sons -- Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay -- to perform as a barbershop quartet. When he failed to get his sons an audition with "The Lawrence Welk Show," Osmond took the youngsters to Disneyland as a consolation prize.

After giving an impromptu concert at the park, the brothers were hired to perform regularly. Within weeks, the father of singer Andy Williams saw their act in Anaheim and recommended them to his son. They debuted on "The Andy Williams Show" in 1962. About a year later, a 6-year-old Donny joined the group.

In an interview last year with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Donny recalled how his father -- a devout Mormon and strict disciplinarian -- had once upbraided Frank Sinatra after Sinatra's daughter Nancy used inappropriate language during a 1969 rehearsal in Las Vegas in front of the Osmond brothers.

Would that make him the only guy to ever tell off Frank -- and about his daughter no less -- and get away with it?

Nancy: "Doggone it!"

So cool that Miccio refs "Business" in his list above.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Thursday, 8 November 2007 07:29 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I could name an Osmonds song other than "Crazy Horses." What about "Puppy Love"? Does that count, or was that Donny solo?

Besides, they're creepy Mormons.

I really need to find a copy of The Plan. I remember looking at their website a few years ago and they were selling cassettes of it!

"I really need to find a copy of The Plan. I remember looking at their website a few years ago and they were selling cassettes of it!"

Try contacting the CousinsVinyl.com guys. I just wrote up a perfunctory note after they sent me a free copy, and they were saying that they have assloads of 'em sitting in their warehouse.

"Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool" - sung by their littlest brother - was one weird song, huh?

Otherwise, as nearly everyone has said already - The Plan's surely their tightest & togetherest shit.
