Subject: "19" song from summer of 1985

Written By: D.C. on 4/22/1999 at 10:14 p.m.

Does anyone know what group sang the song "19" that came out some time in the summer of 1985? I have not heard that song since 1985 and it's a real shame because it was an excellent song. It kinda had a rap sound only in the chorus, kinda like this: "N-n-n-n-n---n-n--n-n-n-n-n--nineteen".... Another line: "The average age of a Vietnam soldier was nineteen."

I hope someone out there that reads that can tell me who sings this great song! I just never got around to getting a copy of it when it was popular. If I could find the name of the band I could look up how to get it on the web.

I appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks!!

Yes it's Paul Hardcastle...I have it on a compilation called "Just Can't Get Enough '80s New Wave Hits, Volume 15". A lot of cool songs on there.

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it! Sorry it took me a few days to respond back to you. I'm just really busy.

Paul Hardcastle...hmmmm...I definitely remember that name. I'll look up the info that you gave me and everything else that I can on him.
