The Donny Osmond Album is the debut album by pop singer Donny Osmond. It was released in 1971 on MGM when Osmond was 13 years of age. It was produced by Rick Hall, who was also responsible for most of the arrangements.
The album features one single, the Billy Sherrill-Rick Hall written lead-off track "Sweet & Innocent". That song peaked at number 7 on the US pop charts (subsequently receiving an RIAA gold certification on August 30 of that year), and pushed the album housing it to number 13 in the U.S. (further up to number 2 in Canada). It's also notable for featuring Osmond's cover of The Everly Brothers hit "Wake Up, Little Susie". The album is RIAA-certified gold (it reached that sales certification on December 13, 1971).
