The Osmonds could bring It Hard Like This? Of all people, who knew The Osmonds could bring it like this? Both of these songs are from 1971 album Phase III. Drums sort of reminds me of Funkadelic.

It's great that youtube is allowing people to re-evaluate bands like The Osmonds, who could rock out and write and produced their own stuff aswell as do the teenibopper stuff. . Much more then just a front for Donnie and Marie and much further ahead musically then their contempories The Jackson 5 and The Partridge Family. And no Iam not biased as I like all 3 groups LOL. . Of course, I've known this about them for years (no smugness intended LOL), but I actually don't own "Phase III" yet, so thanks for posting those tracks! The albums I own are the twofer "Crazy Horses/ The Plan". Great mix of rock and pop. . When I first bought "The Plan" on vinyl in the late 90's I was floored at how heavy and "far out" it was LOL. . Heres a fun one from their concept album "The Plan"..... .

Well, J5 was on Motown. They had no control over what they recorded and weren't allowed to play instruments on the studio records. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but you are right of course. It is abit unfair for me to say that as who knows what for example a young Mike or Jermaine could of written? . I can't imagine them going quite as "wild" as The Osmonds with their obvious rock influences, but who knows? . "Iam love" was an obvious "cash in" of you like on that heavier stuff, and that was good, so who knows?
