 According to Cetera, he originally wrote and composed "Glory of Love" as the end title for the 1985 film "Rocky IV", but it was passed over by United Artists, and instead was used as the theme for "The Karate Kid Part II".The single of "Glory of Love" and the accompanying video were released in May 1986, while the album, "Solitude/Solitaire", was released within days of the release of the movie, "The Karate Kid Part II", a month later.Upon its release, the song was often incorrectly credited as being performed by Cetera's former band Chicago owing to its similarity in style to many of the band's popular songs with Cetera as lead vocalist.
