Childhood Star
Unsurprisingly, the Osmonds did very well overseas and especially in the UK. In fact, the youngest Osmond brother, Jimmy had a number one single there when he was only 9 years old! Maybe you remember his song, “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool” (1972)? That record-shattering song made him the youngest singer to ever his number one in Britain. Jimmy spoke about his childhood saying, “The home I grew up in was a string of hotels across the world. I don’t remember my first home, which was somewhere in Los Angeles.” Growing up in the spotlight is not easy!
Sibling Charity
See, this family always puts charity and others first. Perhaps, you didn’t know, but the oldest Osmonds are deaf. Sadly, the parents did not have enough money to get Tom and George Osmond the proper hearing aids. Therefore, the family began performing in order to raise money to help Tom and George. During these performances, the group used sign language, so their older brothers were always included. How endearing!
