Throwback to July 1986 when Marie Osmond and Paul Davis released “You’re Still New to Me” and made history for peaking at No. 1 on the US Hot Country Charts and Canadian RPM Country Tracks. Alongside Osmond’s famous duet with Dan Seals in “Meet Me in Montana,” this particular song became her career’s highlight as one of only five singles to peak at the Country Charts during the 80s. Meanwhile, the song even became more special for this was Davis’ only No. 1 country hit in his discography.
Osmond has established a name of her own despite being a popular member of The Osmonds during the 1970s. Davis, on the other hand, has made smash hits in the same era, including “Sweet Life” and “I Go Crázy.”
When Davis died on April 22, 2008, Marie’s brother Jay Osmond performed the song with her on music shows to continue his legacy.
