Subject: Trying to remember a song...
I remember a song from the early eighties that I thought was called "Nineteen". I think it was about the Vietnam draft. Does anyone out there remember this and if so who did it???

It is about the Vietnam war. "19" refers to the average age of the soldiers sent over to fight. It can be found on One of the "Living In Oblivion" compilations. #5, I think. The artist is Paul Hardcastle.

It was done in '85, and I'm pretty sure it had something to do with that.

The song is indeed called Nineteen and was recorded by Paul Hardcastle, it's available on
several 80s compilations.
