About The Record:
Goin' Coconuts, by Donny and Marie Osmond, released in 1978, serves as the soundtrack to their musical adventure comedy film of the same name, which was a critical and commercial failure despite their popularity from the Donny & Marie TV show. The album features a blend of pop and soft rock with tracks like On the Shelf, which reached No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 25 on the Adult Contemporary chart, marking it as the only hit single from the album. Other notable tracks include covers like You Don't Have to Say You Love Me and Baby Now That I've Found You, showcasing the duo's signature harmonious style. Historically, the album is significant as it was part of the Osmonds' broader media ventures, including their film and TV projects, and it achieved gold certification in the United States for sales exceeding 500,000 copies. The album reflects the duo's attempt to capitalize on their variety show fame, though it did not match the chart success of their earlier hits like I'm Leaving It Up to You or Deep Purple.
