Buckle up, friends, and get ready for a wild ride as Michelle and Carolyn share a play-by-play of the most epic evening with Donny Osmond. From the "meet cute" to the tears to the moment someone asked them for their autograph, it's all here. You don't want to miss it. Did Michelle get to sing "The Umbrella Song" with Donny? Listen to find out and then keep listening to the encore of our episode preserving "The Donny and Marie Show."

Country or Rock-n-Roll...it didn't matter! When it came to Donny & Marie, our hearts pumped purple! Join us as we enthusiastically recount our love for this dynamic duo and the variety show that we were enraptured with ... and can still do the choreo from! We’re breaking it all down, from the silhouetted opening and the ice skaters, to the eclectic list of guests, to the sweet closing song that we can all still sing, 40 years later. It’s a rollicking conversation full of love, lots of singing, and really fun memories! “Goodnight everybody!”
