Heartthrob Donny’s legacy
23 July 2007
HEARTTHROB Donny Osmond continues his musical legacy at the Brighton Centre on October 13.
During the early to mid-Seventies, Osmondmania, in America and the UK, resembled Beatlemania.
He explained: “Fans chasing us everywhere, being locked in our hotel rooms, police escorts, girls hiding in our closets - we lived our own version of A Hard Day’s Night.”
Donny was the unequivocal star of the group, the one who sang the solos and elicited the biggest screams. He admitted: “It was uncomfortable at first, especially given the fact that my brothers started the group.
But when a band becomes successful, you don’t mess with what works.
“True, we were singing teenybopper stuff, but it was selling - selling more than anyone could have imagined.”
But Donny claimed his clean-cut image became a liability. He joked: “”Not only could I not get arrested, I was downright radioactive.”
Donny has survived the test of time with what is now his 55th studio album. After one listen to Love Songs Of 70s, Donny Osmond has never sounded better.
