Love Songs of the 70s is a collection of some of the most memorable romantic pop and R&B ballads of a golden multi-platinum era - sung by 70s teen idol and pop music veteran, Donny Osmond.
Just a casual glance at some of the songs will transport listeners back to a special place in their lives: 'Laughter in the Rain', 'Oh Girl', 'If', 'Let's Stay Together', 'How Deep Is Your Love', 'You Are So Beautiful' - these are some of the priceless selections Donny has chosen for this remarkable set. "That's what's so amazing about these songs", says Donny, "they're time capsules, capable of moving you in so many powerful ways. What's more, if a song is truly a classic, as these certainly are, their importance grows through the decades because of what you, the listener, bring to them. I've always loved hearing these songs, and I especially love singing them."
Framing each song properly, with every number receiving a singular sonic texture, was paramount in Donny's mind; and yet he wanted to make an album that maintained a feeling of unity, one that wasn't simply a collection of super singles. Impressed with Mike Mangini's work on Joss Stone's Mind Body & Soul, Donny gave the producer a call.
Donny Osmond has been in the music industry for almost 43 of his 48 years. By 18, he was undeniably a genuine entertainment phenomenon. He was the most successful solo artist to emerge from the family group, The Osmond Brothers. His debut single 'Sweet & Innocent' gave him his first Top 10 hit at age 14. Follow up million-selling singles like 'Go Away Little Girl', 'Puppy Love' and 'Too Young' kept him at the top of the charts throughout the '70s. To date he has sold over 80 million records. He has had 33 gold records throughout his career and he amassed 18 of them before the age of 13.
