A monster success in 1979 was this one hit wonder and his joie de vivre, self penned anthem: 'Born to be alive'. A Spaniard by birth, Frenchman Patrick Hernandez first struck it big in Italy, before a French #1, a #10 in England, and a 5 week #1 in Australia! In America the song reached #16. Although Hernandez issued a full length LP, nothing that followed could come anywhere near the song that reached the top spot in more than a dozen countries. Nothing further was heard from Mr Hernandez. Plenty of cover versions followed; my favorite being the one by Scottish diva Kelly Marie. It is a great song, if not a little too simplistic, but it was the 1970's and it was disco!
