Singing for Hearing Aids: Why the Osmond Brothers Got Started

When George and Olive Osmond's first two sons were born with profound hearing loss, doctors cautioned the couple to not have any more children.  George and Olive's next four sons were blessed not only with full hearing, but excellent voices as well.  Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay Osmond began singing to raise money for hearing aids for their older two brothers, Virl and Tom.   As Donny, Marie, and Jimmy joined their brothers, the Osmonds began a six decade journey that included over 100 million records, sold-out concerts around the world,  and a charity organization that has raised over $6 billion to support children.
