Thanks for the perfect pick-me-up, Katie Couric! The former Today show favorite took to Instagram on Monday, April 29, to share an epic throwback video of The Osmonds sharing the stage with Cher in the 1970s. This nostalgic clip is a delightful reminder of the vibrant music scene of the past, showcasing the unforgettable performances that defined a generation.
“If this doesn’t get you going this morning, nothing will. Long live @Cher and The Osmonds (hi @DonnyOsmond),” the 62-year-old TV personality captioned the incredible clip as the performers sang a sweet rendition of Stevie Wonder‘s “Superstition.” Katie added the hashtags, “#mondaymotivation #wheresmarie #happymonday #bringbackthe70’s #wellmaybenot.”
The video shared by Katie, which was reposted by AFlashBak, features Cher, 72, belting out the hit song while The Osmonds harmonize and dance in the background. The family of performers was dressed in true 70s fashion, sporting electric purple jumpsuits that matched almost perfectly with Cher’s outfit.
Fans were not the only ones thrilled by the video’s appearance on social media. Donny Osmond, who was part of The Osmonds alongside his brothers—Merrill, Jay, David, Alan, Wayne, and Jimmy—expressed his excitement in the comment section of Katie’s post.
“Hi @KatieCouric! Now THIS is a great way to kick off the week. Hoping and praying those jumpsuits don’t make a comeback,” the former teen idol quipped. Donny, 61, also shared the video on his own Instagram page, stating, “Didn’t expect to see this treasure from the #OsmondFamily fashion files today, @KatieCouric. The #1970s clearly got the best of us! @Cher, on the other hand, clearly got the best of the #70s. Who else would like to see her bring back that incredible hair?”
Longtime fans of Donny and his siblings reminisced about the days when The Osmonds were at their peak. “I love this! I miss the days when you performed with your brothers!” one fan shared among the hundreds of comments. Another added, “There’s something to be said for the phrase, ‘The good old days.’ They were extremely happy days that have continued to the present day.” It’s heartwarming to see that Donny, Marie, and the rest of the Osmonds are still rocking and rolling to this day!
