King Sisters

King Family

One of the big band era's most popular and enduring vocal groups, the King Sisters -- Donna, Yvonne, Luise and Alyce -- were born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. Taking their stage name from their father, vocal trainer Daddy King Driggs.

The King Family had several incarnations up through the early 70's. The show was renewed for the 1966-67 season, and made a brief comeback as a regular series in the Spring of 1969. They also did several guest appearances on Ed Sullivan and Hollywood Palace. In 1967, they began producing a series of holiday specials, beginning with Thanksgiving and Christmas. By 1971, they ended up with a special for every month of the year (there was a joke about "Groundhog Day with the King Family"), many of which were repeatedly aired in syndication for years after.

Family-oriented musical variety show featuring the King Sisters and their large, extended musical family, ranging from children to senior citizens.

Gladys Knight
rhythm and blues, pop, gospel, soul
She was baptized in August 1997 and received the endowment one year later.  In 2000, she produced her first inspirational album, Many Different Roads, and in 2002, she organized a choir “to provide an opportunity for people who wouldn’t come otherwise to an LDS meeting, where they will hear a strong Christ-centered message of the restored gospel and feel the spirit that is present.”  The choir is made up of more than 100 members from several stakes in the greater Las Vegas area.  They bring a new level of passion and cultural awareness to the traditionally reserved LDS hymns.  At the request of President Hinckley “to make your music available world-wide”, they have introduced their debut album One Voice, available at most retail music locations.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Grammy Award Winner
 

It might seem just too obvious to list the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on a page of famous Mormon musicians.  On the other hand, with a Grammy Award and four Gold Records, they are too famous to leave off any such list.  The choir is made up of 360 volunteers who range in age from 25 to 60.  They are accompanied by a volunteer orchestra of 110 musicians.  President Ronald Reagan labeled the Mormon Tabernacle Choir "America's Choir," and at his 1989 inauguration, President George H. W. Bush proclaimed it "a national treasure."

Maren Ord

Driven by her songwriting smarts, wielding voice and rocking pop acoustics, Maren Ord, a feisty Edmonton native, was blown into international attention at an early age. By 17, her debut album, Waiting, had spawned more than 23,000 spins from its three singles, was nominated for a Juno Award, landed her a spot on the Lilith Fair Tour and catapulted Maren into the whirlwind of professional music. marenord.com
Osmond Brothers

 


 

The Osmond Brothers
pop
Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny sang five part harmonies in competition with the Jackson Five. Originally formed in 1967, hits included: "One Bad Apple," "Double Lovin'," "Yo Yo," "Down By The Lazy River," "Crazy Horses" and "The Proud One." Probably their most ambitious moment came with the evangelical concept album, The Plan, in which they attempted to express their Mormon beliefs. The group officially disbanded in 1980.

Donny Osmond
rock and pop
Donny Osmond was one of the quintessential teen idols of the 1970s, with perhaps the longest run on the covers of the teen magazines of any idol. He did several albums with his sister Marie, and they have done two television shows together. From 1992-1997, Donny appeared in the title role of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Today he is hosting Pyramid; he has a new album; and he uses his web site to share his beliefs.
