DEF: Paul Hardcastle “19”
London-born musician Paul Hardcastle hit the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart one time. On this date in 1985, that song — “19,” which refers to the average age of a U.S. soldier in the Vietnam War — climbed to a peak position of number 15. Today, “19” by Paul Hardcastle is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
