2.0 out of 5 stars "Greatest Hits" of Donny and Marie? Not even close., May 24, 2002

This review is from: Donny & Marie Osmond - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

As a long time fan of Donny and Marie (my first, official concert was them and the Osmond Brothers in 1978), I saw the cover and knew it was a photo from the back cover of my favorite 1976 Donny and Marie LP "Donny and Marie New Season." I thought, "Great! There will be some of my favorite songs on there from that LP and the TV show." I was completely wrong. (Note: The clothes on the cover of this CD are also the same ones found on the Donny and Marie dolls that were sold in the 1970s.)

There are certain songs that fans of the TV series would remember. Those songs are not found on this CD. Why? Who put this CD together to label it "their greatest hits" when there are more songs out there by Donny and Marie that are more classic than this and would be considered their greatest hits.

Because they had a variety show for so long, there are some songs that fans would remember more. The songs that should be on this CD that weren't:

"May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day" (closed the TV show every week)
"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll" (my favorite part of the TV show)
"It Takes Two"
"Anytime Sunshine"
"Show Me"
"It's All Been Said Before"

My favorite songs on this CD are:
"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"
"Deep Purple"
"I'm Leaving It All Up To You"
Which were featured on other Donny and Marie LPs I have.

I hope that in the future, there will be a follow up to this CD with songs that all fans and viewers will remember. For now, Donny and Marie fans will have to use this CD as a substitution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music scores by the talented siblings!!, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Donny & Marie Osmond - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I think that Donny and Marie are great singing together. The music's for the whole family! My favourite is the disco flavoured "On the Shelf"(from their first and only motion picture "Goin' Coconuts!"). I also really like "'Aint Nothing Like the Real Thing", "The Umbrella Song", "Morning Side of the Mountain", I'm Leaving it (All Up) To You" and just about the rest of the tracks! They had their own variety show "The Donny and Marie Show"(1976-78) and years later reunited to host their own talk show. They're still going strong indeed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits but no Best Of..., October 1, 2000

Alan Russo (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Donny & Marie Osmond - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This compilation is their greatest hits minus their top 40 hit Soul & Inspiration. It also lacks some of their best known material such as A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock N' Roll and their closing show theme May Tomorrow Be A Perfect Day. Here's my version of their Greatest Hits: I'm Leaving It All Up To You, Morning Side Of The Mountain, It Takes Two, Make The World Go Away, Together, Deep Purple, A Little Bit Country..., Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, Soul & Inspiration, Winning Combination, Baby I'm Sold On You, On The Shelf, Certified Honey, May Tomorow Be A Perfect Day.

Am I asking for TOO MUCH?
