Donna/Too Young/Pretty Blue Eyes/To Run Away/A Teenager In Love/Lonely Boy/Why/Run To Him/Take Good Care Of My Baby/Last Of The Red Hot Lovers
By the time of the release of Too Young pre-teen heartthrob Donny Osmond’s popularity in the USA has started to wane a little, but in Britain the mania was just reaching its peak. Most of these songs are well known covers done better by the original artists. Includes the UK Top 5 hits Why and the title track. (US:11 UK:7)
“These songs are the ones that defined young Donny and shot him to super-stardom. Get this album and prepare yourself for one fabulous ride down memory lane.”
“Too Young is one of my very favourite tracks on the entire LP; Donny really aces this as effortlessly as if it were breathing. Of course, we know it really wasn't all that easy but Donny's talent always carries him through. Pretty Blue Eyes is very easy on the ear; and listen for more great music like To Run Away, the poignant A Teenager In Love that Donny covers so well. Why sounds fresh and new and Donny delivers this without ever letting go of a single superfluous note. Run To Him has Donny putting all his heart into this; and there are the two fine closing numbers.”
“Donny Osmond fans really must have this for their collections as all this music is that good. People who enjoy easy listening music and pop from the early 1970s will find many enjoyable tracks on this album.”
“The title track Too Young is pretty good, it's so heartfelt and well orchestrated. Why was a well deserved hit, and Last Of The Red Hot Lovers is a fun song that I never knew. I would liked to have heard some original songs, but for a 14 year old in what can you expect?”
“I love these, I knew every word, like it was yesterday, even though it's decades since I've heard these great songs.”
“Even though these are from the young Donny this is still pleasant to listen to. Brings back a lot of good memories and I enjoy listening to all of the songs not just the famous hits.”
