Biography

Patrick Hernandez didn’t have one of the biggest, most iconic one-hit-wonder disco smashes, but he did have one of the best. 1979’s hypnotic, gold-selling “Born to Be Alive” reached number 16 on the Top 40 pop chart, yet it’s not often cited as one of the genre’s definitive songs. It doesn’t show up on many disco compilations either, with 1993’s Double Knit Dance Hits being an exception. The song is, of course, the centerpiece of its parent album, Born to Be Alive. With the full seven-and-a-half minute album version, you get more of what makes the swirling song a winner over the edited single.
