Merrill Davis Osmond (born April 30, 1953) is the lead singer and bassist of the 1970s music group The Osmonds. He continues to perform with his brothers and also without them as a solo act. He is releasing a new album, 'A Tribute to Classic Rock', and tours worldwide.
Four of the Osmonds were cast over a seven-year period on NBC's The Andy Williams Show for seven years. They also appeared in nine episodes of the 1963-1964 ABC western television series, The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, with Merrill in the role of young Deuteronomy Kissel. The series starred then 12-year-old Kurt Russell on a wagon train headed to the American West.[1]
Merrill is the fifth of the nine children of Olive Osmond and George Osmond and the first of the performing siblings to marry. He wed Mary Carlson on September 17, 1973; they have four sons, two daughters, and ten grandchildren. Merrill's second son, Justin Osmond, is deaf, as are their uncles, Virl and Tom, Merrill's two oldest brothers. Justin works with several organizations and launched the Olive Osmond Perpetual Hearing Fund in 2010.
Like the rest of his family, Merrill is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In keeping with church tradition, all of his sons have served as missionaries.
Merrill's son Shane has three daughters, Aspen Rushelle born 2003, Andelyn Sherina born 2005 and McCaul Osmond born July 21, 2009. Merrill's daughter Heather has three sons, Keaton Kade born 2005, Kruze born 2008 and Lincoln T. Hallows born 2009. His eldest son Travis has two daughters, Cassidi and Clanci Osmond.

He is the only Osmond to have never had major dental reconstructive surgery, and is "proud of the teeth that nature gave me".[citation needed]
