Jay Wesley Osmond (born March 2, 1955) is a member of the Osmond family of performers. He is a drummer who provided the beat for the family male quintet The Osmonds.
Osmond was born in Ogden, Utah, the sixth son of Olive May (née Davis) and George Virl Osmond. Four of the Osmonds were cast over a seven-year period on NBC's The Andy Williams Show. They also appeared in nine episodes of the 1963-1964 ABC western television series, The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, with Jay in the role of young Lamentations Kissel. The series starred then 12-year-old Kurt Russell on a wagon train headed to the American West.
In addition to drums, he sang lead vocals on the group's hit "Crazy Horses," a hard rock song that fit Jay's more guttural voice better than usual lead singers Merrill or Donny. Jay continued with Merrill and Wayne (later joined by Jimmy) as a member of the Osmond Brothers when the group shifted to country music in the 1980s.
Jay married Kandilyn Harris on August 25, 1987. They were divorced in 2011. Together they have three sons: Jason George (born on September 23, 1988), Eric Clinton (born on January 2, 1991) and Marcus Jay (born on January 8, 1996). Jay's oldest son Jason married Lauren Merrill on March 11,2011 and they have one son, Grayson George, born on February 5 2013, and one daughter Roslyn Renee born on March 27, 2015. Jay married Karen Randall on May 19, 2014. His step-granddaughter London was killed in September 2014.

The drinks are flowing, just like the river
Then she keeps going
The whole night ends with a blur
She's got no limit
She thinks she's so tough
Can't walk a straight line
At the end of the night she's rough
Her dress whispers reckless
That night starts now as she slips on her necklace
Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Some day you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
It doesn't matter, just do something
She's ready to roll, tonight is different
She'll start it off slow to keep herself in check
Oh no, oh no: it's two for one
She starts the show
And now from this moment on, she's done
Her dress whispers reckless
That night starts now as she slips on her necklace
Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Some day you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
It doesn't matter, just do something
The party is tonight and she thinks they're playing her song
The party is tonight and it's playing all night long
Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Some day you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
