Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive ( Dance Video )

[@xavierkost9264]

I was 15yrs old & was a waiter at the most popular disco in Montreal when this came out. Yep, I was under age but told them I was 18, $200 a night in tips was big money at 15 in the 70s. Anyway, when this song came on even the staff was dancing & I still love this song today, packed full of energy. Another good energy one is Heaven Must Have Sent You,

this song is a treasure, great to keep hearing it, its certainly one of the disco songs ever made, and yet it stays under the radar

[@blackrock1961]

This was my favorite song of the disco era. I know people everywhere "hate" disco, but it still brings more people out to the dance floor than any other genre of music.

[@paulhart9102]

I miss disco !!

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

I'm 55 and have been playing heavy metal guitar since 1987 - I adore Disco, the '70s were such an amazing time to be alive, and I loved that era of pop music and very much miss it (although I have to say the '80s were the best time to be alive EVER). So now I'm going to stick on some Boney M, Chic, Donna Summer, Village People, Bee Gees, Earth Wind & Fire, Eruption and whatever has a sniff of Disco in it, and I'm gonna play it LOUD 😝

[@Stussmeister]

I have absolutely nothing against disco music (and very much enjoy this song), yet while I can dance a little, I don't think my body possesses the level of coordination needed to perform as well as these young folks or, indeed, any disco dancer.
