One Bad Apple by The Osmonds - 1971
"One Bad Apple" was a #1 single released by The Osmonds. It hit the top of Billboard's Hot 100 Chart in February 1971 and stayed there for five weeks; it also reached #6 on the R&B chart. The song was written by George Jackson, who originally had the Jackson 5 in mind when he wrote it. The Osmonds' version of the song coincidentally sounded like the Jackson 5 to the point many mistaked the Osmonds for the Jacksons on the song when first hearing it.
"One Bad Apple" was also used as the theme to The Osmonds cartoon show on ABC-TV. According to Donny Osmond, Michael Jackson later told him that the Jackson 5 almost recorded this song first, but chose to record "ABC" instead.
