From Quiz Donny Osmond, Teen Idol

Answer: Roy Orbison

"Sweet And Innocent" was released by Orbison in 1958, as the B side to his "Seems To Me" single, which failed to chart. Donny's version of the song was actually recorded by The Osmonds, with Donny on lead vocals, but was marketed as being by Donny Osmond of The Osmonds, and is therefore credited as his first solo success.
