I think it was in the 80's or early 90's that Donny Osmond recorded an album of susposedly gritty, street-wise hard-times music complete with a cover photo of him with a Miami Vice style beard. Not a song, but I heard a radio programme with Marie Osmond doing a Dadaist poem - kinda cool - she really let 'er rip!Bill D: Yma Sumac's version of 16 Tons - love it!

p.s. Please don't hate me for bashing Donny Osmond (or for mentioning him either).
