At just 21 years old, this superstar heartthrob was at the peak of stardom with his sister, Marie Osmond, and they hosted their own variety television show called Donny & Marie.

These two musical and entertainment icons often welcomed other famous performers to their variety show for duets, ensembles, and a whole lot of great fun! One of their most memorable guests was the ever-precious Olivia Newton-John!

Just months after the worldwide release of Newton-John’s magical musical movie, Grease, she joined these two effervescent entertainers as part of their evening show on September 22nd, 1978 – and she lit up the stage alongside Donny with a bubbly rendition of the movie’s hit song.

Grease, which co-starred John Travolta, was just another step in the ladder to success for Newton-John and cemented her in the pages of time as one of the foremost triple-threat performers the world has ever come to know.

In this one-of-a-kind variety show performance, Osmond and Newton-John don stark white suits and trot out on stage hand-in-hand as the beginning music of “You’re The One That I Want” begins playing.

The audience claps along and both stars, beaming with smiles, look into one another’s eyes as they belt each line with power and precision!
