Lunch Break Video: Birthday boy Donny Osmond sings “Puppy Love,” a song for Jan Brady and meets with Michael Jackson!
I am sure there are plenty of younger fans who know Donny Osmond best as the guy who won Dancing With the Stars and I’m sure Donny doesn’t mind one bit.
You can’t be a star for as long as Donny has without re-inventing yourself plenty of times. He’s gone from the child star lead singer of The Osmond Brothers to the teenaged TV variety show star with sister Marie Osmond to cool late-80s pop star with Soldier of Love and other hits to Broadway star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to game show host to Vegas mainstay and now dancing champ!
(As a favor to Donny, I didn’t mention the cheesy movie he made with Marie in the 70s. Anyone remember Going Coconuts?)
Whew!
That’s a lot plus he has five kids and some grandkids and a wife of more than 30 years who he seems to absolutely adore. You gotta figure Donny is around 75 years old to have accomplished all that, right? Nope. He turns 52 today!
Happy birthday Donny. Why don’t you sing us a few tunes?
A young Donny guested on Here’s Lucy and his biggest fan was Lucy’s niece played by Eve Plumb (Jan Brady on The Brady Bunch). But he only has eyes for Lucie Arnaz!
And fnally, here is a rare clip from the mid-70s of Donny and Michael Jackson at the American Music Awards.

Thank you for a very nice tribute to Donny! He truly is a wonderful person and he really does love his wife! Family is everything to him! A rarity in today’s celebrity world!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNY!

Thanks for the write up! Ya know, like thousands of young girls-I was GLUED to the set to watch Donny on Here’s Lucy! I was SO envious of Jan Brady aka Eve Plumb (who’s birthday is a day after mine!)She had Donny sing to HER!! And watching Donny and Michael–the American Music Awards were just a couple years old then–memories. Donny makes 52 look pretty good!

Susan Boyle’s favorite song is “Puppy Love”! Check out her answer in this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxW61tIC8KM
Are you guys going to watch the Susan Boyle special on TV Guide Network tomorrow night? I was talking to some other fans and they hadn’t heard about it so I wanted to make sure you knew! Tell your friends about it, because that’s the only time and place they’ll be able to see it in the US!”
