In 1982, ABC News produced the documentary, Vietnam Requiem, more than a decade after US troops had left Vietnam. Three years later, Paul Hardcastle scored a UK #1 hit, and reached the top 40 here in the US, with "19". Veteran commercial voiceover artist Peter Thomas narrated Requiem, and some of the dialogue was sampled on "19".
Thomas, after a bazillion commercials in the 70's & 80's, would narrate Forensic Files years later.
Many thanks to Chuck Miller for the tip.
Hmmmm, this came out around the same time as Max Headroom with the digital stuttering.
