ABOUT THE RECORD Soldier of Love, by Donny Osmond, is a single which became his comeback hit. A Top 30 hit in the UK in 1988, the track was not initially released in the US as Osmond did not have a record deal there. Jessica Ettinger, believing the song to be a hit, up-ended the top 40 music and radio industry by giving it a slot on her playlist. To give the song a chance, she created a "mystery artist" promotion; put the song in rotation, and kept listeners guessing who the artist was for several weeks. Eventually, Ettinger had her air talent reveal that the song was by Donny Osmond, who appeared live on the air at the same time. Osmond was soon signed by Capitol Records, which copied Ettinger's promotion idea nationwide and released the song as a single. Soldier of Love reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Osmond credits Ettinger with re-launching his career by listening to the music and not pre-judging whether a song could be a hit based on the name of the artist.
