    .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ....19 Boys To War - 25th Anniversary Edition - OFFICIAL VIDEO.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....HERE IS THE ARTWORK FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE OF 19!.. ........ .. In the early 1980s, Hardcastle played keyboards on several singles on the Oval record label by the dance music groups Direct Drive and First Light, before going solo. He achieved some acclaim for his early singles, notably the instrumental, "Rain Forest" (1984), but came to greater prominence in 1985. .. .. In early 1985, the release of the dance hit "19" brought Hardcastle acclaim and chart success. "19" was a straight-forward dance record, featuring stuttering samples of television narrator Peter Thomas speaking about Vietnam war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Initially unhappy about having his voice used in this way, Thomas later relented and allowed the single to be released.). .. .. A number one hit single for Chrysalis Records in the United Kingdom for five weeks,[2] the record topped the charts in both France and Germany in two versions, the English language original and an authorised local language alternative. Altogether, it was number one in thirteen countries, selling just under three million copies worldwide. .. .. The UK progressive rock musician Mike Oldfield claimed that a melodic element of "19" had been copied from a sequence of his multi-million selling concept album, Tubular Bells, and a settlement was made. Simon Fuller, who was Hardcastle's manager at the time of "19"'s release later adopted the title for his company, 19 Management. .. .. Hardcastle enjoyed several further hits in the UK, including "Don't Waste My Time" (with vocals by Carol Kenyon) (UK 8) and the now-classic "The Wizard", a UK 15 hit that became the theme tune from BBC Television's Top of the Pops. He also had a hit with "Just For Money", which reached 19 in the UK. Earlier, he had cut a cover version of D-Train's most influential hit "You're the One For Me", segued with his own compositions "Daybreak" and "A.M." Hardcastle also wrote the theme tune for Saturday Live, a popular entertainment show which ran from 1985-1987. He also made the hit single the voyager, which was used for the BBC one program Holiday. .. .. After 1986, Hardcastle started to specialise in television soundtracks and remix work, for artists as such as Five Star, Barry White, Third World, Sinitta, Johnny Logan, Hiroshima and Ian Dury. .. .. Hardcastle has also recorded several synth jazz albums, alternating releases under the artist names The Jazzmasters, and Paul Hardcastle.[1] Working regularly with vocalist Helen Rogers, Hardcastle has recruited several saxophonists including Gary Barnacle (on the first album), Snake Davis, Phil Todd and Tony Woods. All these albums have been played on smooth jazz radio in the United States, where some of the most played tracks include "Northern Lights", "Lost in Space", "Desire", "Shine" and "Serene". In 1988, Hardcastle released the concept album, No Winners, which focuses on the potential negative effects of the Cold War arms race. He won the Billboard Smooth Jazz Artist Of The Year award for 2008. .. .. .. .. .. ..
