Patrick Hernandez Born To Be Alive / Too Many People 12" Single DJ Promo #1 Hit Remixed by Danae Jacovidis This is the Hit Remix that torn up the dance floors in 1979
Born to Be Alive" is a song written by French singer Patrick Hernandez. It became a worldwide hit and reached #1 on the US Disco chart in spring 1979. It was first conceived as a hard rock song.
The song achieved gold status in the USA
After working for about a year, the songs were released on the Aariana sub-label Aquarius Records (in France) in November 1978. The first single that was released was the disco song "Born to Be Alive". Its success was immediate, and in January 1979, Hernandez received his first gold record from Italy. The song spread throughout Europe, where it hit #1 in France in April and remained there until July. By then, the United States had caught on, and after some remixing, the record was signed to the A-Tom-Mik label and later Columbia Records. The remixed version was released on a commercial 12" single; it peaked on the US Billboard disco chart at #1 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #16. It sold over one million copies in the US. The track reached #10 in the UK Singles Chart. By year's end, Hernandez had racked up 52 gold and platinum records from more than 50 countries.
