💿 [SONG INFO]
"Crazy Horses" is a 1972 hit by The Osmonds reaching number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.
It is a heavy rock style which was a major stylistic departure from the type of music for which The Osmonds were known; it is also unusual in that Jay Osmond sings lead vocals on most of the track (with Merrill Osmond, the band's usual lead singer, singing the short choruses, and Donny, the usual co-lead, having no vocal parts).
The record was co-produced by Alan Osmond and Michael Lloyd, who had previously been in psychedelic rock group The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.
The song is claimed to be a protest about the amount of pollution created by cars, and several 1970s-vintage automobiles spewing smoke appear on the single's and album's cover artwork.
It is one of their best known hits and has been covered by numerous other bands including:
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band,
The Mission,
Tank,
Lawnmower Deth,
Neal Morse,
The Frames,
KMFDM,
Electric Six
and Lifescreen.
Westlife covered the song live in 2003, and even performed the song alongside Donny Osmond.
English band Pop Will Eat Itself sampled the record on their 1988 single Def Con One.
The song was also covered by Tigertailz on the 2010 live album Bezerk: Live...Burnin' Fuel.
The song was also covered by Mat Sinner on the solo album Back to the Bullet 1990.
Donny Osmond recorded a new version of the song as a hidden bonus track on his 2002 covers album Somewhere In Time and performs the song frequently on his tours. He did not sing on the original record.
The Osmonds are an American family music group with a long and varied career-a career that took them from singing barbershop music as children, to achieving success as teen-music idols, to producing a hit television show, and to continued success as solo and group performers.
The Osmonds are devout members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and their religious values have influenced their careers.
When it began as a barbershop quartet, the group consisted of brothers Alan Osmond, Wayne Osmond, Merrill Osmond, and Jay Osmond. They were later joined by younger siblings Donny Osmond and Jimmy Osmond.
Their only sister Marie Osmond, who never sang with her brothers at that time, would launch a successful solo career in the '70s. Older brothers George Virl Osmond, Jr. (Virl) and Tom Osmond were born deaf and did not originally perform, although they later made occasional appearances, most notably on the family Christmas specials from the '70s.
All of the Osmonds were born in their hometown of Ogden, Utah except the youngest, Jimmy, who was born in Canoga Park, California.
The group have sold 102 Million records worldwide.
The Osmonds: a pop music success
Record producer Mike Curb saw the Osmonds (no longer called "The Osmond Brothers") perform as a band and recognized that they combined a rare mix of polished performing style, instrumental skill, and vocal talent.
He helped the Osmonds get a record contract with MGM, and arranged for them to record at Muscle Shoals with R&B producer Rick Hall.
Under Hall's guidance, the Osmonds hit #1 on the Billboard pop chart with "One Bad Apple" in 1971. The Osmonds soon had hits with other light, R&B-style pop numbers like "Double Lovin'" (Billboard #14) and "Yo-Yo" (#3).
After this early bubblegum phase, the Osmonds began writing their own music, and their sound moved towards rock and roll with hits like "Hold Her Tight" (Billboard #14), "Crazy Horses" (#14) and "Down by the Lazy River" (#4).
The Crazy Horses album was the band's first really personal statement—the brothers have been quoted as saying that the title song refers to air pollution from cars.
They wrote all the songs and played all the instruments with Alan on rhythm guitar, Wayne on lead guitar, Merrill on lead vocals and bass, Jay on drums, and Donny on keyboards.
All the brothers sang back-up, with Jay and Donny sometimes singing lead parts.
