And they called it Puppy Love...but that was five decades ago when superstarÂ DonnyÂ OsmondÂ was the poster boy on millions of bedroom walls and graced the front cover of what seemed like every other issue of Jackie magazine.

Now America's very own Peter Pan of pop is celebrating 50 years in the business with a UK tour of a new life defining album - made in Sheffield.

Sheffield song king Eliot Kennedy, a songwriting partner of Gary Barlow and Bryan Adams - and who Donny is proud to call 'his brother' - produced The Soundtrack Of My Life, his 60th landmark album and latest top 20 hit.

Sheffield song king Eliot Kennedy produced Donny's latest album at the Steelworks Studio in Sheffield.

In an exclusive interview - hear it in full here on line - he told how he spent time in Sheffield at the Steelworks studio during the final stages of making the new album, but how they used latest technology, including Skype, to record vocals while half a world apart - in between his performances in Las Vegas or at home in Utah.

He said: "Life's great right now. It couldn't be better. I can't believe it's 45-years since Puppy Love and this is my 60th album. It's gone by so fast.

"Eliot is like my brother. He and I get along so well. We've worked together for a long, long time. As soon as I met him we hit it off.

"The way we made this record it was technically a big challenge because I perform so much in Las Vegas, I can't really get away and spend months and months in Sheffield, making an album.
