The Osmonds – американская семейная поп-группа, образованная в Огдене, Юта в начале 60-х годов братьями Аланом, Уэйном, Мерилом и Джеем Осмондами. Первый коммерческий успех к ней пришел в начале 70-х годов, когда в состав пришли Донни и Джимми Осмонды. Первый же сингл, написанный для Osmonds продюсером Риком Холлом, «One Bad Apple» (1971) поднялся на 1-е место в Billboard Hot 100 и продержался 5 недель на вершине. За ним последовали хиты: «Double Lovin'», «Yo-Yo», «Down by the Lazy River», «Hold Her Tight» и «Crazy Horses» (в котором The Osmonds попытались примкнуть к глэм/хард-року). Альбомы коллектива также продавались успешно: первые 4 из них получили золотой статус. Read more on Last.fm.
