Sweet & Innocent/I'm Your Puppet/Hey Little Girl/Don't Say No/So Shy/Lollipops Lace & Lipstick/Flirtin'/Burning Bridges/The Wild Rover (Time To Ride)/Wake Up Little Susie
Debut album from thirteen year old Donny Osmond. For the next few years he would enjoy massive success on both sides of the Atlantic as a fantasy idol for early teen girls. (US:13)
“Teen pop from the 70s, which is somewhat rare. It is still bad, and has that kind of country lean.”
“Great songs by a young Donny on his first solo release. Get this album and listen to one of the greatest when he first started on his journey as a solo artist.”
“The album is very dated, but still contains some of Donny's biggest hits such as Sweet & Innocent along with other fan favourites like Flirtin'. Not even fourteen years old when these were recorded, Donny is at his squeakiest vocally here, but for diehard fans this LP is a must have and the whole thing has been put together brilliantly.”
“I recommend that anyone who is an Osmond fan should buy this album, the songs are really great.”
“I still have this album which I bought it as a teen. I am in my fifties and still love to hear Donny Osmond. So if you are a fan and want to bring back those teen memories I highly recommend this.”
“The Donny Osmond Album is exactly what you would expect it to be, a collection of lightweight pop confections that was a finely tuned commercial beast nevertheless. Hey Little Girl, I'm Your Puppet, and a very spirited version of Wake Up Little Susie all highlight the singer's youthful innocence and energies. If Lollipops, Lace & Lipstick does mark a musical nadir of sorts, it's still infectious enough that you'll be singing along regardless.”
“Unlike the Osmonds' own albums, there is little sense of artistry here; it is hard to escape the feeling that songs were selected, and arrangements recorded, long before Donny turned up to sing his way through them. But it's still enjoyable, and one that has withstood the test of time a lot better than many albums of its ilk.”
