Donny and Marie sing together at the beginning and end of the show and have solo segments in between. His Foxtrot was said to be "too theatrical" and was scored 20/30 from the judges. The brothers continued to perform on the show throughout the 1960s along with a few visits from their sister Marie.

Donny went solo in the early 1970s covering such hits as "Go Away Little Girl" and "Puppy Love".

Osmond felt such allegations would have familial ramifications and couldn't reconcile how lying to create a nefarious drug image could be explained to his children nieces and nephews.
