There's a different clip of them performing this all in matching white jump
suits (imagine the Elvis sequined number without the excess poundage). Donny
Osmond runs this in the background during his solo performances and the live
band on stage nails the timing, the instrumentation and the
harmonies...except it's Donny doing all the lead vocals.
BTW - Osmond himself has nearly completed restoring all the episodes of the
Donny & Marie show for DVD. Expect some of it out by year's end.
