Yep, I agree Darryl, I think it should have been the Osmond Brothers, on the original release. I've always known the Osmond Brothers as, well the Osmond Brothers. I don't know when they became 'Osmonds', and in my mind at least they will always be the the 'brothers'. It's the same with The Jackson 5, and the Jacksons. Huh?

No, I wasn't suggesting changing it. I made it 'The Osmonds' on the List. One Bad Apple was released on their debut album entitled 'Osmonds'. Just the initial copies of the single were were released as 'Osmond Brothers'. What chance do we have if their record company can't even make up their minds ! All of their other Hits except one were credited to 'The Osmonds' so I thought we'd stick with that.

[Lucky]

No Ol'55, I know that. It was an observation...

[OLD 55]

Thanks Lucky. I don't really know all that garbage; I'm just getting my money's worth from all the books I lashed out $$$ for. I've always called them The Osmond Brothers too !
