Patrick Hernandez ~ Born To Be Alive 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

Pretty high energy disco released near the end of the disco bubble....this one never fails to please and fill the floor. I always felt that it could use a little filling out here and there, so here is my take on it..I like to keep it simple and not stretch it too much out of shape....hope you like it! I

For the story, this guy is actually french and is living in the small town I grew up in. He's famous for making just ONE SONG : this one. This song made him rich. He actually lived off the song with royalties and appearance in TV shows.

[@keiththomas3141]

This is the best version on the internet right now. It's got depth in there. I was a DJ in an upscale club back in 1979 - 1980. I played this song all the time. It was a fun song to play and it was extremely popular. This is the first time I've listened to it in decades.

[@solangesantangelo1425]

Incredible song! I've been hearing it since I discovered it last month ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

One of the ALL TIME BEST roller skating songs. At 54 I'm getting back into skating and loving it. I put this song on the song selection list as soon as I arrive. Reviving the good old days once again. Roller skating is BACK!!!

[@RICHARDITIO]

The first time I heard this tune was at the public open air market in Florence, Italy, Summer, 1979. Almost everyone there, young and old, started dancing and having a good time with one another. We need more of this happy music today.

I hung up my Cruiser roller skates years ago. But the memories of roller skating to this song on a Saturday night with my old girl friend at the rink was one of the best times of my life. Sharing a pizza, fries, and root beer float led to a romantic walk home to her house carrying our skates and every once in awhile holding hands and looking at the stars. That's what we did before smart phones.♥️

I first heard this in 79, bought it on vinyl the same day (still got it!). Remember dancing to it in the discos in Majorca that year! This hit No.1 in a lot of countries but he never had another hit in the UK. Pretty much a 1 hit wonder but it hasn't half lasted, 41 years!! It will still fill the club floors today I'm sure.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Just now cooking breakfast and dancing around the kitchen when my son (18 years old) comes in asking what song is playing. He and his brother both grew up listening to music from the 70's.

Just offhand I’d say that Patrick Hernandez enjoyed DiscoCat’s wondrous remix of “Born To Be Alive”. Eurodisco at its best. Among Patrick Hernandez’s musicians were James Stroud (drums) and Alan Feingold (keyboards). I wish Studio 54 was still open for the Justin Biebers and the Taylor Swifts so that they can enjoy some real music, like this song. Thank you DiscoCat for the amazing work done by you in making these songs way better.
