Now you have met the Osmonds. They are professional in every sense of the word. In the 1950’s it was a man who wiggled his way to stardom who became a phenomenon. In the 1960’s, four long-hair lads from England invaded the world and became a phenomenon.
And now, in the 1970’s, five brothers from America are going down that same golden path. Their era has just begun! – Bill Sammeth |
