Book Review: Donny is an all out great guy
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't actually read this yet but I can tell you already it will be worth reading. I have researched Donny's life a lot and it is very interesting. To grow up in show biz is trial enough. But to go through the career changes Donny has and then end up singing again is magnificent. I encourage everyone to read this book.Book Review: A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE
Summary: 5 Stars
Donny Osmond is nothing more than extraordinary!! This man has gone through more changes in his personal and professional life that noone could ever imagine, and he has handled those changes with nothing more than exceptional grace! At a time when the music industry would second guess him every move he made, he rose above them (industry watchers) and showed them that with age comes wisdom. He definitely has gained and given alot of wisdom through his 37 years of being in show business. The industry and the general public can definitely learn something from this bookBook Review: THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL... An inspirational story.
Summary: 5 Stars
A philosophy he's lived by since he recorded the song of the same name, back in 1973 on his "Alone Together" album, Donny Osmond has certainly made much of his life "so far" within his soon-to-be 42 years. Beyond the life of a multi-hyphenate entertainer - singer, songwriter, musician, actor, producer and now author, Osmond is also a devoted husband, father, brother and son, as well as computer/electronic wizard, creative performer and dare-devil stuntman. But his melodic tenor voice which first started out wooing a generation of young hearts in the early 70s has continued to thrive into a mature audience of appreciating ears on stage with critically acclaimed rave review of his performance in the long-running Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, to the now Platinum Disney soundtrack of "Mulan" - attracting a new generation of Donny Osmond fans. Much has been consistent with Osmond over the years. Through his challenging obstacles within his career, overcoming the bubble-gum pop teen idol icon to International musical superstar of stage and screen.... the consistent echoing from colleagues, industry professionals and friends is that Osmond is a well-respected, warm, generous individual who graciously and charismatically engages all he encounters with a genuine heart-felt sincerity and eloquent class, unmatched by many who have had the illustrious career he has, starting from such a young age. Though he has managed to live, breathe and thrive within the industry without becoming jaded, Osmond has transformed his wisdom and experience into an example in leadership and ambition of embracing life and taking it for all it's worth. He reveals a very reality based and emotionally expressive peek into the spirituality life-preserver which gives him the trust, faith and belief system that continues to keep him centered throughout all he does. Achieving many historical milestones within his multi-faceted life and career, perhaps one of the greatest of all is Osmond's raw vulnerability to be himself, which propels his Universal appeal spanning across several generations, with a longevity of committed following. He is a man of integrity, inner-grit with a solid-soul and a heart of gold - something which permeates through his performances with a mysterious allure of breaking the wholesome glass, encasing a down-to-earth spirit of playful mischief and rebellion to achieve his own individuality without judgement. This book is sure to reveal his own admittance of humanistic flaws - further drawing you in to embracing who he is, what he's done, how he's done it and what he's overcome in a motivating and captivating essay of truth and reality. While I have not yet read this long-awaited book, but have contributed specific dates/locations and archival content upon a global calling to provide supplemental information in the compilation of this book (which I don't know at this time if any of it was utilized), I am writing this review from 25 years of admiration, research, following and working with the Osmond family on a multitude of levels --- most recently as a supplier of clients as guest segments for the Donny & Marie Show this season --- and I have met Donny twice, now. On a personal note, the very title of Donny's book is the key inspiration of why his music has been instrumental in my life's empowerment and survival during a couple decades of challenging times. While he was not privy to this information at the time of our in-person meetings, I know I am a number amongst the many who have been touched by the man he is and the legacy he has already put forth so far. I encourage everyone who is looking for a fascinating story of triumph and victory abounding from a gold fish bowl life defunct from anonymity, while maintaining a foundation of spirituality, sense of self and family - this book is IT.
