Today is 30th.Oct.2023 I am 65 years old now...this video is a history...it tells us history of Music..dance..peoples..youngs..so many things...this video takes me back to my old days. Thanks from Philipines.Cebu City.
I didn't get it until I started going raving in 2000 here in LA The beat. The beat the beat @2:13. This chick ON A GOOD ONE!!! Been there. Everyone completely wired at 7am doing this is insane. It changes your life. Makes u a more chill person 50 thousand watts of fuuuuunk. I experienced this when I was 19 in year 2000 at a massive event here in SoCal. DJ dan Came on between 5am and 7am to close out. Look up this track: "peace division. Back to back" Dan was playing that in the auditorium around 630am. Whesn most of us were coming down off the MDMA. but kids nevertheless formed new dance circles. Amazing morning
I was a disc jockey at a small disco in Chicago. This song always filled the dance floor. Great times, happy people. It seemed nobody had a care in the world,.
If I had the money I'd bring disco back. Kids would put down their games and cell phones and just dance. Remember the only games were Space Invader and Pong?!? What happened 🤣😋 Paula
Its the middle of the Cold War, Vietnam has only been over 4 years, Iran is ready to fall to Islamists, Thatcher has just been elected and its still 10 years to the fall of the Berlin Wall *yet* despite the Cyprus Invasion to mention one thing, this happens in 1979. MAGIC.
In the late 70s, I lived 1-1/2 blocks from Alfie's Disco in San Francisco, and I used to go there every night and dance for at least two hours. This was my aerobic exercise for the day. I did not go on week-ends generally because there was a $1 cover charge (and it was too crowded), and on weeknights, I only spent 25 cents for the coat check. I did not buy drinks, but I did help make the place look busier during the week, and I flirted with people who did buy drinks. I started several great relationships there.
Patrick nailed it completely. Disco Music was a testament for all generations to come. A time when this kind of music really make you feel, ALIVE..I thank to heavens that I lived to bear witness of that..🕺
Even if you cant dance, how does this song NOT make you want to get up and dance anyways? Truly one of the best if not THE best dance songs of all time. Play this today in a club and i guarantee that dance floor is full of people
You can go raving if you want to have this experience. At least I did back in 2000. A lot. Still some of the best experiences of my life. They'd often play tracks with this kind of eurodisco beat from this video. No fights or drama all night long Here are samples from southern California ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxwy3jpLoiSvWuv3fBcaEQBKU63MV08oa0 ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxRihpLbMTTEWNu57a33rt3pkjkW8EX5Cn It's all epic disco tracks with a techno rhythm
That's because cell phones weren't invented then! I was Djing back in those days, each night ended in a 10 minute smooch session, with a couple of slow songs. Great memories. Sadly Karaoke has killed disco's!! (imo).
This presentation proves that (Disco) dancing was a way of life around the world. Patrick Hernandez's "Born To Be Alive" was the ultimate anthem for this video. These dancers are all winners to me.
Something everyone everywhere could get into, a trailblazing development showcasing a lot of new production techniques like the use of samplers - A distinct part of why it got done dirty in the US. In contrast to what the Comiskey Park crowd in '79 would say, though, Disco's been thoroughly vindicated by history. Its influence is everywhere!
This is seriously my favorite song of all time! I've even told my friends. I wish for this song to be played at my services when I pass, as a celebration of the miracle & wonder of Life!
Me too, and i am still dancing like in that time... And I feel big sorrow for today's generations - how they live like in the prison, the main fun for them are the protest in the streets against lockdowns,,,,, But even before that, they forget to dance......
When music like disco brought all walks of life together. Black, white, brown, yellow etc. It didn't matter so much like today. I was born in 79' and enjoyed this music in my 20's, even now. My 5 year old and 1 year old keep asking to see this video. They'll know what Disco is growing up. Awesome video!!!
I was 12 years old in 1979 living in NYC. My friends and I used to stand across the street from Studio 54 and watch all the stars go in....it was surreal. Your post is 100 percent accurate in regards of all races just having fun. Seems like ancient history.
Lotta coke too…. Seems to help… till about the mid 90’s end of addiction trainwreck… But it was badass…. I’m jealous. And people didn’t have the never ending resentment that fills our world now. God bless.
It was a time of self-expression. Dance is one of the greatest arts of self-expression. People live in fear and shame now. Seeing these competitors dance with such happiness and confidence, it really shows how diff the world is. Now we have crap like American Idol. Everything is about criticism.
OMG! THAT WAS THE TIME!!! We used to dance every evening in our disco-clubs without cellphones, we had a direct contacts and hughssss. I'm really sad for those new generations, especially now - it's so boring to sit at home - but you are born to be alive!!!
Jean Venlo forever ! Just watched an amazing docu about the producer and how this song was made .. I remember singer Patrick Hernandez on every tv-show in the 70-ies .. plus, Madonna was a background dancer for Patrick for a while, before she was famous.
Me too ! I was 18 when this song was popular . I’ve heard that Madonna got her start as a dancer for this guy and this song . I wonder if there’s any video of her dancing with the back up dancers ?
That was 7 minutes and 27 seconds of pure, unadulterated joy. Those people were kinesthetic geniuses. I wish our world now had even 1/10 of the passion and love of life they did.
¡¡Esto si que era bailar!! 🤩💕👏 Veo que esas épocas tenían música increíble, yo soy de los 2000s y me encantaría que volvieran estas modas de antes. 🥰❤😍💕
Yep, I was there for disco. It was AWESOME. The dancing kept us all skinny and fit. Back then men used to dance and you had to dress up to get in. No jeans or joggers allowed. We used to spend hours on our hair and make up and sweat it all of in an hour or so from dancing so hard lol. Yes, there were lights under the floor. It was the BEST.
Barbara Ives I don’t Remember seeing any more mates with make up on your right about the hair Took the ages and lots of hairspray suited and booted great Friday nights 💃🕺
This masterpiece shouldn't have just 89 million views, it should have 890 billion views. It was played in all nightclubs , birthdays, weddings, etc. Musical piece that would be played at all occasions and places. A real gem. Perhaps the one which would identify the 1970's Disco genre.

@@theodoreritola7641 I'll tell you why that happens. More than one person uploads the same video to UA-cam. The first person uploads the video,then another person copies it and uploads it again. That's why you see different views later on when you happen to see the videos again. If you compare the name of the person who uploaded the video, you'll notice it is a different person. So, if you remember that a song had 100 million views , and later you notice that it shows only 20 million views, it is not the same exact video & from the original person who placed it or uploaded onto UA-cam, the lesser views video should be for the copied video and which was uploaded/placed on UA-cam later on.
Que emoción volver escuchar esta inolvidable música de mi época, gracias gracias por compartir ❤❤🎶🎼🎶🎤🎶 estoy super feliz 🎼🎶🎤 es como volver estar ahí...
The love of my life passed away on 28th December and he loved this tune. Its a bit before my time (I'm 31 and he was 52) and it makes me so happy to listen to it. And know he's jamming to it in paradise. R.I.P Mike my love. I'll look forward to dancing to it with you again. X
Can watch this endlessly. I'm gonna sell everything I own and open a night club exclusively playing 70s, 80s and 90s hits. None of today's crap. 70s night will be called "Born 2B Alive" Who's with me?! Yeah
I love how some of the dancers seem to mix disco with moves from the traditional dances of their own countries. It adds that extra touch of eclectic creativity.
This was a time where people were a lot healthier than today.We would get off work on a Friday and dance the weekend away. What a fun time in life. It will never happen again . I was so glad to have been a part of it. Great song. !
I am 67, have phase 4 cancer, but I looove this song to smittens. Can't get enough of it. Specifically the short that the girl with white dress made. Now that is living.
This song brings me so much joy. I run every morning and watching these people get down keeps me going the extra mile. I’m in recovery from substance abuse and we used to do a workout video with this song in it in a program I went to. I was only 109 pounds at the time. I’m 5’8. Years later in better health and still clean and sober I listen to this when I workout and think about all the things I’m grateful for
The tune that started me Djing age 10 in clubs for the rave scene to start.What an experience but this tune tops the lot.Amazing timeless and thankyou for being alive!!!
4:35 & 4:50 were awesome too! I loved Manuela's (girl from Portugal) wild moves! How any of these girls pulled off these great moves in high heels is quite the feat!
I just love this, in a world echoing the absurdity of existence you find disco, it's not pretentious, it's not profound, it's not tribalistic, it's just mind free fun.
It’s not just the great dance moves and the exuberant smiles. It’s also those outfits. I was there. I remember. Can’t believe I dressed like this to go out. So crazy. So fun 😂
Cant watch this without smiling ear to ear!! Grew up in the 80s, I really believe that was the last generation of genuine individuals, genuine fun, open hearts, spirit, and true connection 👯♀️💓
You hit the nail on the head exactly this is the way it was in those days I was a teenager in those days and I loved it and I miss it and I would give anything in the world to go back God if only people knew what it was like back then only if people could understand what it felt like you can see it in this video it's loud and clear what life was like and how people were what happened to us what happened to this world what happened to human beings and people how do we end up like this now ?
Just finished setting up my garage as a disco and my wife and I danced . We had an amazing time. So good for the soul and we are going to learn to do more.
2021 and this seems like so much fun!!! Completely reminds me of my mom and watching her dress up and go out dancing. Those were simpler times.... can we go back
Back in those days no cell phones no internet. I was a life loving young man who enjoyed this and many other exiting disco songs...yes I want to go back...
I was and it was pretty cool: The clothes. The music. The movies. The cars. The concerts. The shopping. No drug testing at work! Everyone seemed to get along. The start of MTV. You could sit in front of the tv for hours and watch all these music videos that were like little movies.
The 90s were great too. Dance/rave music brought a lot of people together who previously would fight with one another. Music really can do amazing things.
I dunno, the 90s untied a once youth(and adults) of the UK that would meet after football with snooker balls is socks, bottles, knives, baseball bats etc to injure one another as much as possible then came rave. Those people who once tried to injure one another walked arm in arm in the streets of London to give us the freedom to “dance” together. Imo the 90s was the last decade where music was used in a way to stop people fighting and joined people like they did in the 60s and 70s with the hippy movement against war, peace ✌️ ☮️ Since then I can’t think of anything major like that happening since. People who once beat the shit out of one another joining hands for the freedom to not beat the shit out of one another and dance instead is an inspirational time imo 😊
Blacks, whites, Asians, whatever. We all loved the music and dancing around with one another. America was not so divided back then. Thanks OBAMA shithead for ruining it for the younger generation by making everything a race issue.
It’s incredible that Patrick Hernandez had initially a total different idea for born to be alive but the producer weren’t interested at the time. He therefore stopped his music career and started raising cattle in his French hometown. A few years later, the producer offered him to release the song in a disco style, very popular at the time. The man made one hit, won more than 50 golden records throughout the world and still lives comfortably in Provence up to this day.
You right the 70s for mw was a HUGE HIGH Just wanted to dance and watch the babes in feathered hair the tight bell bottoms and short mini skirts And wooow and the ass kicking t music . Dam the 70s were a blast
Época ermos felizes e não sabíamos hoje tem muitas músicas que não nos agrada mas para mim continuo nos anos 70..80..90..só coisas boas parabéns por vc gostar das lindas músicas músicas
One hit wonders are a huge part of our music history. This was an awesome dance number. 43 years and the song hasn't dated a bit (hit the US top 40 on 8/4/1979)
My mom played this song in our home when I was little. so many wonderful memories ❤️ I danced around the house with her. I love disco til this day! Mom was so beautiful! Had such great style! I dress like her now😊 I even had an orange disco lunchbox when everyone else was into strawberry shortcake and sesame street. Oh the memories # nostalgia 🥰
The era of DISCO will never end .. still play it myself.. love how you can just drop everything n let your hair down & go for it ... we need it especially in this generation young ones these days dont have a clue about music.. xx
Bunch of people from around the world dancing their hearts out. Why can’t it be this way? No wars. Just dancing.
Um dia , esperamos pelos nossos descendentes. Deus abençoe a todos nós ❤
Exactly! I had the greatest of time's ❤
The same reason war has always started bro. Some people want more than they need.

A lot of people criticize disco but what a vibe. Everyone just dancing and having a good time.
I loved disco! It always makes you want to get up and dance!!!
I'm with you❤❤❤
I used to criticize it when I was in my teens. But now I love it.😊
I didn't get it until I started going raving in 2000 here in LA
The beat. The beat the beat @2:13. This chick ON A GOOD ONE!!!
Been there.
Everyone completely wired at 7am doing this is insane. It changes your life. Makes u a more chill person
50 thousand watts of fuuuuunk. I experienced this when I was 19 in year 2000 at a massive event here in SoCal. DJ dan Came on between 5am and 7am to close out.

Dan was playing that in the auditorium around 630am. Whesn most of us were coming down off the MDMA. but kids nevertheless formed new dance circles. Amazing morning
I miss the 1970s. Yes, life really was this energetic and glorious, even if you didn't go to the clubs.
This is absolutely glorious. Seven straight minutes of unapologetic human exuberance in a million different flavors.
Flavors, yes 👏
OK your Fkn cool😎.

Here in 2024 and time to bring this music back!!! 💃🕺
Back in late 70"s this is what we did every Saturday night.
Its the middle of the Cold War, Vietnam has only been over 4 years, Iran is ready to fall to Islamists, Thatcher has just been elected and its still 10 years to the fall of the Berlin Wall *yet* despite the Cyprus Invasion to mention one thing, this happens in 1979. MAGIC.
Back in 2020 this is what I did very night in my room for a year long lockdown.
In the late 70s, I lived 1-1/2 blocks from Alfie's Disco in San Francisco, and I used to go there every night and dance for at least two hours. This was my aerobic exercise for the day. I did not go on week-ends generally because there was a $1 cover charge (and it was too crowded), and on weeknights, I only spent 25 cents for the coat check. I did not buy drinks, but I did help make the place look busier during the week, and I flirted with people who did buy drinks. I started several great relationships there.
Yes I DID!-

Patrick nailed it completely. Disco Music was a testament for all generations to come. A time when this kind of music really make you feel, ALIVE..I thank to heavens that I lived to bear witness of that..🕺
This is the ancestor of the house/funky techno of the rave scene here in America circa 2000

Patrick was Genius .. and I am glad I was alive to witness the best yrs of music that actually made you feel ALIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
How exactly was he a genius, because he wrote one hit song?
Even if you cant dance, how does this song NOT make you want to get up and dance anyways? Truly one of the best if not THE best dance songs of all time. Play this today in a club and i guarantee that dance floor is full of people
1979 was the BEST TIME TO DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY... FUN TIMES, EXCELLENT MUSIC. 🎶👍💃😀🎶
💯 👍
And best drugs ever!
Totally agree I am 55 was born in 1968 70s 80s + most of the 90s was great music now its,just total crap
I wasn’t around during this glorious era, but this song is still incredible. The video is an important piece of music history
Unfortunately I lived through 8 of the 10 years of the 1970's. (1972-1979)

No kidding. Now I deal with a little thing, but nasty, called arthritis
Wow!! I am 73 and can't dance like that anymore, but I can tap my toes and snap my fingers with the best of them
At 73. do not try. Just dance in your head. I am 50 and I think it is not safew for me to try ..... :-) But this is a classic not so many know about.
As long as you feel the music you be ok! Just feel it.
What a painfully wholesome comment 💙

10 FEB 2021 Dear Mike, Age is just a number in the mind .. Try and you shall succeed ...
WOW remember these day's ❤ and they were bloody fantastic 🥰🇦🇺
Tenia 22 años cuando iba a la discoteca a bailar esta magnífica rola y todavía a los 66 años aún me da mucha alegría oírla
The love of my life passed away on 28th December and he loved this tune. Its a bit before my time (I'm 31 and he was 52) and it makes me so happy to listen to it. And know he's jamming to it in paradise. R.I.P Mike my love. I'll look forward to dancing to it with you again. X
He dances with you EVERY time you dance babe. When you dance, we all look forward. Xxoo
How you keeping?
A song to remember the love of your life- it is perfect.
Can watch this endlessly.
I'm gonna sell everything I own and open a night club exclusively playing 70s, 80s and 90s hits. None of today's crap.
70s night will be called "Born 2B Alive"
Who's with me?!
Yeah
I'll be there with my roller skates, yess!! 😄
Call the nightclub EARTH 🌎
90s music isn't that great, just stick to the 70s & 80s
We had a place in Clearwater Florida like that called Bricktown 54 it was awesome
Find any start up capital yet I'm down?
my math teacher literally used to play this at 6 in the morning every single morning and it was annoying at the time but 7 years later i get it
Six in the morning? What time did you start school?!?!
@@danyoutube7491 my hs started at 7am so i’d be there at 6:30 😭
@@cupcakefairyy Wow, I was only just dragging myself out of bed a bit before 7, and that was to watch breakfast television :)
WOW 😊 GREAT SONG & ALL THE DANCERS WERE OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!
Love this era when you can throw any dance moves in and still looks cool.

Yeah.........we wore ridiculous clothing, and thought we were cool!!! ;-) ;-) ;-)

I love how some of the dancers seem to mix disco with moves from the traditional dances of their own countries. It adds that extra touch of eclectic creativity.
The Thailand dancer had a Muay Thai Boxing theme.

Man, every single person had a completely different style, often reflecting dancing culture of their part of the world.
Very cool.
Here in 2023. Wish we could go back to when people where genuinely this happy. Now it's just crappy rap music at night clubs that you can't dance to
And they’ve even appropriated “rhythm and blues” to be some kind of crap
You are right there, it has been great time just because we have nothing. 🇦🇺🇷🇸💖😊😌❤️💃🕺
We where happy just because we were live, free, yang, restless, curious, just happy to be who we are. 🇦🇺🇷🇸💖😊😌❤️💃🕺
But crappy rap music is better
@@kellydabaddieproductions5047 nah fella old skule rap is better modern rap is pretty vanilla and a bit rubbish
This was a time where people were a lot healthier than today.We would get off work on a Friday and dance the weekend away. What a fun time in life. It will never happen again . I was so glad to have been a part of it. Great song. !
Just cannot believe all those women dancing in heels. Incredible.
not only women :D
@@Erika_Kohl LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
@@FuckSlowShit I agree with you
I'm more concerned about their ages lol I know Julie Brown was 16 not sure about the other girls
What are their ages got to do with anything. I have just noticed Julie Brown is from UK, where age of consent is 16, if that is what you are implying.
❤St. Tropez France summer year 1979 at the discos this was huge hit. We danced till morning.. What a days were those!!! ❤love from Finland
I am 67, have phase 4 cancer, but I looove this song to smittens. Can't get enough of it. Specifically the short that the girl with white dress made. Now that is living.
This song brings me so much joy. I run every morning and watching these people get down keeps me going the extra mile. I’m in recovery from substance abuse and we used to do a workout video with this song in it in a program I went to. I was only 109 pounds at the time. I’m 5’8. Years later in better health and still clean and sober I listen to this when I workout and think about all the things I’m grateful for
That's awesome and congrats on all you have accomplished! Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏
Well done sweetie 🥰
Proud of you
Born to be alive, YES! What an awesome running song!
What a beautiful story, congratulations on your continued sobriety and a better lived life!

Denmark girl killed it 👏 🔥
She rolled in there looking beautiful 😍 and just smooth with it!
4:35 & 4:50 were awesome too! I loved Manuela's (girl from Portugal) wild moves! How any of these girls pulled off these great moves in high heels is quite the feat!
I agree

Born in 69 cold war kid loved my teen years in the glorious 80s ..so sad that young ones nowadays havnt a clue
Thank you 80s
.. and thank you 70- ies 💕👼😐💕
That show was from the 70s
Ok ok it was 79 your right but these moves entered 80s for a few years..thanks for being perfect.
I just love this, in a world echoing the absurdity of existence you find disco, it's not pretentious, it's not profound, it's not tribalistic, it's just mind free fun.
Wtf
Yea well intended, but f bro just let the music do its thing. Savash is bad ass tho!

1979 seems like just yesterday. What a great times to be alive!!!
They were !! would not trade for anything!
I want to go back to the 70’s era my teenage decade 😢😢😢😢
Very nice disco music from the 70's, *** new style of techno dancing 🕺, *** beautiful, *** western Australia 🇦🇺
This songs charges me up immediately whenever I feel depressed!
Cant say the same about todays music full of envy and aggresion
People don't know that the Icelandic contestant only had 1 leg.
I Agree!
@@Piggy991there are tons of great modern tunes,you just have to work harder, there is so much out there now
It’s not just the great dance moves and the exuberant smiles. It’s also those outfits. I was there. I remember. Can’t believe I dressed like this to go out. So crazy. So fun 😂

Just for a few minutes. After that I remember the events in 2020 and the following tragedies and possible wars to come soon.

No,because I can't move like that anymore.

No social media and yet we all had real social lives with real friends plus the most amazing music!
YES!! Face to face. Mistakes and all. Out to have a great time dancing in the later 70's into the mid 80's. Woohoo!!
Every saturday night I had the night fever and it was all about staying alive staying alive!

Cant watch this without smiling ear to ear!! Grew up in the 80s, I really believe that was the last generation of genuine individuals, genuine fun, open hearts, spirit, and true connection 👯♀️💓
I agree with you
Couldn't agree more with you I also grew up in the 80's the best music was from the 80's ☺️👍🏻
never been to a rave?
So richt you are
You hit the nail on the head exactly this is the way it was in those days I was a teenager in those days and I loved it and I miss it and I would give anything in the world to go back God if only people knew what it was like back then only if people could understand what it felt like you can see it in this video it's loud and clear what life was like and how people were what happened to us what happened to this world what happened to human beings and people how do we end up like this now ?
On 70s the women were simply beautiful and charming.
Apesar dos anos passarem ainda vale a pena viver por estar vivo!! Maravilhosa felicidade!!!
Just finished setting up my garage as a disco and my wife and I danced . We had an amazing time. So good for the soul and we are going to learn to do more.
Everyone should have a disco in their house! Dancing is the cure for all that is wrong in the world!
Jeff C love this for y’all! I need to do this too! 👏🏽
I got the same idea! Did y’all dress for it too?
Not not yet. I think we will learn to do it better then put on a show for all. But that’s a great idea😅
2021 and this seems like so much fun!!! Completely reminds me of my mom and watching her dress up and go out dancing. Those were simpler times.... can we go back
Back in those days no cell phones no internet. I was a life loving young man who enjoyed this and many other exiting disco songs...yes I want to go back...
times are different now ups
Just close your eyes and listen you'll be there 😄😄😄
Ja😉😉😉😉😉😉😉💃💜💛💚💗
Thank goodness for UA-cam and reliving these cool eras.
We need this show back. ❤
Que emoción escuchar estas canciones yo tenía 19 años ahora tengo 62 y aún me tiemblan las piernas por qué me dan ganas de bailar 😅
This 'seriously may be the greatest video on the Internet!
It's bloody fantastic eh, great tune with great dancers!!! Love watching it!!
DISCO DANCING IN MY ROOM IN 2020. 📺😎🎵🎶🎼
It is indeed
True story
it's makes u move like crazy!!!
Man, being a young adult in the early 80's had to be the coolest thing ever
I was and it was pretty cool: The clothes. The music. The movies. The cars. The concerts. The shopping. No drug testing at work! Everyone seemed to get along. The start of MTV. You could sit in front of the tv for hours and watch all these music videos that were like little movies.
The 90s were great too. Dance/rave music brought a lot of people together who previously would fight with one another.
Music really can do amazing things.
@@starcraft-bo2mk not like the 80's were!
I dunno, the 90s untied a once youth(and adults) of the UK that would meet after football with snooker balls is socks, bottles, knives, baseball bats etc to injure one another as much as possible then came rave. Those people who once tried to injure one another walked arm in arm in the streets of London to give us the freedom to “dance” together. Imo the 90s was the last decade where music was used in a way to stop people fighting and joined people like they did in the 60s and 70s with the hippy movement against war, peace ✌️ ☮️
Since then I can’t think of anything major like that happening since.
People who once beat the shit out of one another joining hands for the freedom to not beat the shit out of one another and dance instead is an inspirational time imo 😊
This had nothing to do with the 80s ,,,, This was 1979 The 70s were FAN FN FANTASTIC
❤❤❤❤Love this wish we could rewind!! Love this guy!! Rock on Patrick Hernendez!!!!

Simplesmente amo essa música,sinto uma energia maravilhosa toda vez que ouço 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The good old days when people went to clubs and had a blast dancing :)
Yep! Where did those days go?
And didn't have to worry about mass shootings!
They still do that, you've been going to the wrong clubs.
Blacks, whites, Asians, whatever. We all loved the music and dancing around with one another. America was not so divided back then. Thanks OBAMA shithead for ruining it for the younger generation by making everything a race issue.
To today's generation, this is how cool your grandparents were!
were is a key word

Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love this!, disco music was the best of the best, just happiness ando too much dancing 🕺🏻
It’s incredible that Patrick Hernandez had initially a total different idea for born to be alive but the producer weren’t interested at the time. He therefore stopped his music career and started raising cattle in his French hometown. A few years later, the producer offered him to release the song in a disco style, very popular at the time. The man made one hit, won more than 50 golden records throughout the world and still lives comfortably in Provence up to this day.
This makes me so happy. Thank you for the update.
Incredible story, thanks for sharing.
What was the original style? Any recordings of it?
@@CreativeGPX The original style, as he wrote in his biography, was Death Metal. I can see why the producer chose to shift into a different genre.
Bonito y sano ❤🤣
Every dancer enjoying life. Staying fit and expressing themselves. Lets go back to those times. Music is the only drug we need

You right the 70s for mw was a HUGE HIGH Just wanted to dance and watch the babes in feathered hair the tight bell bottoms and short mini skirts And wooow and the ass kicking t music . Dam the 70s were a blast
I've loved this tune since I was 8 I'm now 53 it's a dance floor masterpiece
Essa agitava as noitadas e estava na parada de 79. Tocava muito nas rádios e foi muito famosa, uma música muito boa.
Época ermos felizes e não sabíamos hoje tem muitas músicas que não nos agrada mas para mim continuo nos anos 70..80..90..só coisas boas parabéns por vc gostar das lindas músicas músicas
One hit wonders are a huge part of our music history. This was an awesome dance number. 43 years and the song hasn't dated a bit (hit the US top 40 on 8/4/1979)
1979
I have to agree...Its pretty great. Im 34 and used to listen to disco CDs when I was a kid in the 90's...But ive never heard this gem.
I am surprised it didn't climb to No. 1
This was huge in the roller skating rinks in the late '70s and early '80s.

My mom played this song in our home when I was little. so many wonderful memories ❤️ I danced around the house with her. I love disco til this day! Mom was so beautiful! Had such great style! I dress like her now😊 I even had an orange disco lunchbox when everyone else was into strawberry shortcake and sesame street. Oh the memories # nostalgia 🥰
