Fans were left swooning after a ’70s teen heartthrob revisited a classic TV moment with Brady Bunch star Eve Plumb on social media. Donny Osmond shared a clip from his 1972 sitcom appearance on Here’s Lucy via Facebook, where he played himself. The episode featured Plumb as Patricia, a young woman and huge fan of the singer who attended a charity event to hear him sing. The clip also featured Lucille Ball and her daughter Lucie Arnaz (Kim), who were seated with Plumb. In the clip’s caption, Osmond wrote, “A little throwback to my performance on this 1972 episode of Here’s Lucy, which guest-starred Eve Plumb! Bonus points if you can remember the reason I put on this concert for them.” In the retro video, Osmond performed his 1972 hit “Too Young.” He wore one of his most popular stage costumes of the era, a white-studded jumpsuit with a purple scarf tied around his neck.
