1971 single by Donny Osmond
"Sweet and Innocent" is a song written by Rick Hall and Billy Sherrill, first recorded by Roy Orbison in 1958. It was released as the B-side to the single, "Seems to Me".
The Osmonds recording
In 1970, pop singing group The Osmonds recorded a substantially reworked version of the song with Donny handling the lead vocals, and it was billed as his first solo single release. The lyrics were shifted from Orbison`s original words being a compliment to a young woman, to Osmond`s remake being repulsed by her behavior. Donny took the song to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on June 5, 1971, and number 32 for all of 1971.[2] It was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 30, 1971.
