Top 40

hit for 19.

Paul Hardcastle released the song 19 back in the 80’s and it was a massive success. The record was No1 in the UK and USA, and 11 other countries and won an Ivor Novello award.  He has now re-released the single and donating all his royalties to the charity.

"It's going to be nice for me to be able to say that it came back and it helped out some kids, made some kids smile who had been traumatised," says Hardcastle about his old hit.

 

The Manchester United fans were the people who started the campaign to get the single back into the charts to celebrate their 19th league championship and once the processed were said to be going to Scotty’s Little Soldiers everyone seemed to get behind the single and it went straight into the charts at number 40.

It's going to be nice for me to be able to say that it came back and it helped out some kids

We've gone straight back in to the top 40 with no radio play, no record company support, absolutely nothing apart from Manchester United fans tweeting and me doing press," says a delighted Hardcastle.

 

 “I am so touched that Paul Hardcastle is donating all his Royalties to Scotty’s Little Soldiers.  I was overwhelmed when I was told what he wanted to do and the whole Scotty team is so excited by it. It’s very generous and kind gesture from Paul and with the proceeds from the single we hope to be able to make lots of children smile by putting all the money raised towards the first SLS Holiday home.” Said Nikki Scott.

 

The singer, Paul Hardcastle also said, “It’s an honour for me to help out in anyway I can and SLS does amazing work for Children of the fallen. It really hit home to me what this charity does when I read this that they sent me, We can’t thank our fallen heroes personally for making the ultimate sacrifice for our country but through ‘Scotty’s Little Soldiers’ we can try our hardest to help their children, we owe our heroes that. 19 is still available to download via Amazon and iTunes.
