What icons these two are! And what an amazing musical treat this CD is. I couldn't wait for the U.S. release two months later so had to buy the import and spent a lot more money for it - but so worth it! Every song is just its own treasure! They're not the "little" Donny and Marie you remember (as great as they were back then). This CD has both powerhouse solos and exquisite duets with harmonies only these two amazingly gifted siblings can create. Quite simply, you will LOVE this CD!

Wow! Who can believe that it has been 30 years since the last release from Donny and Marie GOIN COCONUTS. At that time they were teens slowly growing into earlyt adulthood. Now they are both parents and grandparents and have a world of life experience under their belt. Sadly I have not been able to get to their Vegas show yet but I have read all the reviews and critics are loving it. This cd is in no way a gimmicky release due to the success of their Vegas show. Yes, we have the song VEGAS LOVE but otherwise this is a very impressive return to music as adults. Seems many here wanted to hear things like AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING and all their other teen hits. Instead they treat the listener with respect and sing as adults with all the skill and talent they possess.

The song selection is amazing. Yes, there is a somewhat country feel but I consider it more adult contemporary. And singing together still proves to be magic for these two. By the release of GOIN COCONUTS Donny had really matured but Marie was still a young innocent teen. She has grown into a woman with great vocal skill and versatility. Her voice caresses the notes on these tracks with a lovely sublety and emotive delivery. They both have two solos here but it is some of the duets here that are my favorites. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING is haunting and it is this song where Marie shines the best. Also great are TOUCH, I SWEAR and WE WILL FIND A WAY. Donny shines best on his solo I HAVE YOU TO THANK.

If you want their early hits and albums they are all available on cd remastered. Instead of resting on the laurels of their early recordings we get to hear what music matters to Donny and Marie today. For over an amazing 60 minutes we are treated to mesmerizing vocals. All fans should love this qality production and I believe the performances ring so true that new fans could be garnered as well. I highly recommend this cd.

If you're gonna buy this CD, buy it on Amazon.co.uk


I paid $18.55 USD for it back in November 2009.


And the price has already been lowered to less than $17.00 USD

It's been way too long since Donny and Marie recorded together. This cd is great, one of those you just put on repeat and leave for hours - well, I do! The harmonies are great, especially in I Swear - which I love. Donny sings 4 songs alone, Marie sings 3 and they sing 11 together. It is a great mix of rock, ballads and the great harmony that is Donny and Marie. It is a must have cd for any lover of great music.

This CD is a must have. Their VEGA$ show is a must see. Donny & Marie have been around for nearly fifty years and they prove just why, over and over again! If anything this is worth it just to hear how wonderfully Marie's voice has matured over the years. You have her innocent teen hits (Paper Roses, In My Little Corner of the World, Who's Sorry Now, etc) the you have her amazing country career in the 80s/90s (Meet Me In Montana, There's No Stopping Your Heart, Read My Lips, etc.) and NOW THIS! Wow she has transformed herself into this sultry, sexy vixen. Her look, her sound is amazing! Then there is Donny, the ever-great sounding former teen idol. Together they sound fabulous and these songs could all be hits, that is if today's music would be smart enough to play them... which they won't. But you can hear and love it too... buy this CD you will not regret it!

This is very much Donny and Marie. This CD reminds me of my Vegas trip to see these two together and I loved it with their mature voices. A must have for fans.

One of the best CD's I've heard in a while. Music reflects songs with more mature thoughts as with My Reflection for example. Along with the new music there are also the great standards that we all associate with Donny and Marie.

Hey everyone!

If you like Donny & Marie Osmond you will love this album. They really work well together on this cd album. The mix of music is great. I love it!

This CD is THE BEST CD that I've bought in a very long, long time!! It's got to be the best Donny and Marie Osmond collaboration since the 1970's!! They should put out a lot more of these same type of CD's; I'm sure their fans will be buying this CD just like I did, and will write similar reviews!! :)

LOVE these two, so it pains me to say that this album is a major, MAJOR disappointment. Completely gone are the high energy R & B/Motown influences of their 70's faire, replaced instead by a sort of "Nashville light" sound that doesn't fit these two AT ALL. Lyrics like "You were workin' at WAL-MART...while I was drivin' a GOLF CART"?

We've waited 21 years for THIS? Let's get Hozier-Dolland-Hozier back again and the "Winning Combination" "Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing" sound of the 70's, or even covers of classic 70's songs.

Don't waste your money on this!!
