Donny Osmond – Soldier Of Love (German 12″)
Posted by DjPaulT on 26th August 2012
BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988
“Soldier of Love” is a 1989 song by Donny Osmond, which became his comeback hit.
Fearing that the public were not going to buy a new Donny Osmond record, his label decided to release the single with no indication of who the artist was, and radio stations advertised it as being from a “mystery artist”[1]. It gained in popularity and helped send the song to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on its 8th week in the Top 40.
The song is set to a post-disco beat. Songwriters are Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. The music video for the song was directed by Michael Bay, becoming the director’s first official project.
