Subject: Father of Osmonds performers dies

Written By: Philip Eno on 11/07/07 at 5:09 am

George Osmond, father of singing siblings The Osmonds, has died aged 90.

He was an early manager of the group and helped launch the careers of six of his eight sons, including Donny and his daughter, Marie.

Osmond died of natural causes at home in Provo, Utah, family spokesman Kevin Sasaki said.

Marie cancelled an appearance on US TV show Dancing With The Stars to fly to Utah with brother Donny to be with their family.

Wyoming-born George Osmond kicked off the family entertainment business by teaching barbershop-quartet harmonies to sons Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay, who began singing together at church functions and events in Utah.

My great-grandma (that is, my mom's mom's mom) was the second of ten kids...only two of which are still alive now.
