About The Record:

Phase-III, is the third studio album by The Osmonds, marking a significant shift from their bubblegum pop roots to a more mature hard rock sound. The album, which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Top LPs chart, was certified Gold by the RIAA and showcased the band writing more of their own material. It was partially recorded at Muscle Shoals, giving tracks a richer, rock-oriented texture. The hit singles from the album were Yo-Yo, reaching No. 3, and Down by the Lazy River, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album’s blend of pop rock and ballads, like Love Is and Don’t Panic, reflected the group’s evolving musical identity.
