More Info
PATRICK HERNANDEZ will be remembered for one of the most iconic Eurodisco anthems of the seventies. 1978's hypnotic Born to Be Alive reached the top ten all over Europe (including number 10 in the UK) and eventually made number 16 on the American pop chart after it had topped the charts in France, Austria, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. The song is the centrepiece of its parent album of the same name which makes its international CD debut on Cherry Pop. The title song is featured here in three mixes. Hernandez is a Frenchman of Spanish, Austrian and Italian heritage. On a historical note, Madonna performed with Hernandez as a dancer early in her career before achieving superstardom. BORN TO BE ALIVE also features the follow up hits Back To Boogie which made the Dutch charts, and Disco Queen which became a Belgian hit and US Disco charter.
