Childhood Star
The Osmond’s work fared well in the United Kingdom. Actually, Jimmy Osmond, the youngest, set a record with his song, “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool” (1972). This single reached number one when he was nine, making him the youngest to reach number one in England. When reflecting on this time Jimmy said, “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.” A childhood like that will definitely shape a person!
It All Began with Sibling Charity
Their love of charity started very close to home. You may not know this, but the oldest brothers, Tom and George are deaf. Unfortunately, the parents did not have money for hearing aids. Thus, the family performed to raise money for them. Therefore, they began performing initially just to help their brothers. Wait, did we mention that they used sign language during these performances to make sure Tom and George understood? So sweet!
