"The Tailgate Song" - Nathan Osmond
Nathan has ploughed his own furrow as a country musician.
"I love country music. So I think my Aunt Marie's excited one of us kept it country," Nathan recently told People.
He's scored four consecutive number one hits on the Independent Country charts, including the tracks 'Sweet' and 'The Tailgate Song'.
While Nathan is doing his own music, he's not shying away from the Osmond name.
"It is so crazy how many people know more about my family than I do," he said.
"It's amazing. The Osmond fans are the most diehard. There's only two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that were paid by the fans of the artists," Nathan continues. "Liza Minnelli and the Osmond family.
"Do you know how much that meant to us? Our fans are so loyal and they have been for over 60 years."
Is Nathan Osmond married, and does he have any children?
Nathan is married to Sarah Eileen Osmond, and together they have four sons together.
"I think there's like 57 grandkids," he told People. "I have four boys myself. Scotty has five boys. Jay has three boys. So there's I think only 17 girls and several were adopted."
"So you literally have to adopt girls to get 'em in the Osmond family. We just don't produce them."
