I still hear them referred to as the white Jackson5. Their dancing was so much better than the Jackson’s. Donny wasn’t lead singer either Merrill was. I think that label really hurt their career.
I met donny in st pete back when he was married and had his first son. Marie too. She had twisted her ankle during the last song and Jay was with her when the paramedics came to look at her. They all were there and had a concert. I know donny was tired because i knew where they were coming out to leave and when i saw him he was not happy made a face and said ughhhhhhh but he changed his tune when so many people came up behind me to get his autograph. I always question if he was ever really happy performing.
Ils étaient extras. Je les ai aimés au moment même où j'ai entendu Crazy Horses. Ça devait être en 72 ou 73. Je les ai vus au Palais des Congrès à Paris en 74. J'ai même un petit film que mon père avait fait lors du concert. On y voit Donny tomber sur une enceinte en marchant à reculons 😉
