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.
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
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
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..🕺
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 czcams.com/users/clipUgkxwy3jpLoiSvWuv3fBcaEQBKU63MV08oa0 czcams.com/users/clipUgkxRihpLbMTTEWNu57a33rt3pkjkW8EX5Cn It's all epic disco tracks with a techno rhythm
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.
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 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!
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 💃🕺
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 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. !
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!
¡¡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. 🥰❤😍💕
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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!
this always brings me tears of joy, i can’t seem to get over this video, i just keep coming back to it, seeing every person dance so gracefully. honestly words can’t describe how much i love this ❤️🔥 they all have my heart (:
This is my "to go video" when I see the world news and all i see is violence and mass shootings. This video is a reminder that there is still good in the world.
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.
Que emoción volver escuchar esta inolvidable música de mi época, gracias gracias por compartir ❤❤🎶🎼🎶🎤🎶 estoy super feliz 🎼🎶🎤 es como volver estar ahí...
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!!!
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!!!
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 😂
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
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. Who's with me on this thought?
@@theodoreritola7641 I'll tell you why that happens. More than one person uploads the same video to CZcams. 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 CZcams, the lesser views video should be for the copied video and which was uploaded/placed on CZcams later on.
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
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.
@@gildedpeahen876 Some people do actually stay fat even with a lot of cardio. It's not like there aren't any people who enjoy dancing a lot but are still fat. Have you not seen those dancing security guard videos? Some of those guys move way, way better than you would ever imagine for people with those builds. I mean, yeah, sure, most people will be a lot leaner if they exercise more, but some people just don't lose the weight that easily, and can actually be fairly healthy and fat at the same time. I'm definitely not one of those people, as I can stay thin without even doing the minimum amount of exercise you're supposed to do, but I know that it's a lot different for some people.
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.
@@Phantasia.Official wake up you control the frequency you want to see proof- just focus and change one thing in your life that is hard-as simple as drinking coffee-now look around you again. focus you will see a slight change -look for it. when you find it that is proof that you moved from one reality to another reality through frequency- pass it on:) your welcome
Then came the Lawyers & Corruption RULED...---!!! The Government Corporate Banking "FRAUD" is Falling apart...---!!! I lost confidence over a decade ago. Since then it's just been torture watching this slowly unfold. 2010 is when I discovered how stupid I had been....

@Francisco Araneta thank you :) ... I didn't mean to express depression, but it almost does seem like the 70s were a separate reality. I was born in 1981, and fondly remember soul train, and good music in general. Times have changed, in America.
Grew up with this in the 80’s …still got a vinyl record of this album , these days i put it on repeat and it brings me a smile to my face as well of all the dances and videos out there that brought this back to life ,actually bringing dance and joy to people of all ages ,a ageless tune really ❤❤❤ freaking awesome !!!!!
Sometimes I like to think the earth is being invaded by aliens, and the whole destiny of our lives consists in a dancing battle against the aliens, and those people in the video are our soldiers.
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).
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
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
This song will never die out, who's with me.2024

My dad used to carry this record to parties 🥳 🎉 🎉
This was one of my favorite songs back in the day!! Disco was pretty cool!!
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.

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.
Who's with me on this thought?
youtube Fixes views i have seen so many times that a lot of 70s songs have less views than the days and years before,, very strange
Meaning THAT A SONG FROM 1978 HAD 30 MILLION VIEWS Than in 1979 It had less views In Stead of having more FIXED VIEWS
@@theodoreritola7641 I'll tell you why that happens.
More than one person uploads the same video to CZcams. 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 CZcams, the lesser views video should be for the copied video and which was uploaded/placed on CZcams later on.
@@jimmysalinas4201 O OOK lol Because he was chewing me out for some thing i had no idea what he was saying lol Thanks for the info Jimmy
Just keep playing it🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Love this song take me back to better times❤
Dancing is one way to express ourselves ,with friends or at home... I'm @ 70 but still dance and stay happy...coz life is too short ☘️🌻🌿🌹☘️
This is possibly the happiest and most positive video on CZcams. This gets watched every day........... such a sad refelction on society in 2020
I listen to this while getting ready for work and it gets me in a happy and positive mood for the day ahead. we were all born to be alive after all 🤗
L
Yes exactly same here it's my get up n go song ♥️✌️🎼🎶🎵💃💃💃💃
I listen to it in the gym after my pre workout. Yeeeaah baby 💪🏻👍🏻
❤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
Love it. This is dance music. 😉👍♥️
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.
The Italian guy doing cartwheels in overalls kills me. Makes me smile every time
i love how he comes in dressed like mario then gives us travolta "italian street tough" moves
😍🇧🇷🌻😷🙏
i have bro love for that Italian guy, nice vibe 😎
My absolute fav!
this was a time of freedom hope and racial peace
YES best time ever!❤
Gosto muito dessas música Resolvi compartilhar com vocês Neuza Curitiba Paraná
in the true.
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.
Super !!!!! ❤❤❤❤ stále dáva energiu , spomienka na ten diskotéky !!!!🤟 keď sme mysleli , že svet je krásne ihrisko !!!!
How many feel better after watching this?!
Just for a few minutes. After that I remember the events in 2020 and the following tragedies and possible wars to come soon.
heck yeah
No,because I can't move like that anymore.
Littleflower there is nothing in life called “ I can’t “☺️
Fair plai liza
The best, the happiest and the most enjoyable, the single most energy packed video in the history of CZcams...
Beauty and fire of many races, colors and religions coming together to shine❤🎉
❤❤❤❤Love this wish we could rewind!! Love this guy!! Rock on Patrick Hernendez!!!!

There is nothing that makes me want to dance more than watching this video!
I love this video. It just makes me happy to see people dancing!! This song is one of my all time fav disco hits. Summer of 1979......ah to be young
I were 10 year ole wen dis come out!!!
Yes Frank !!! same to me!!
1979!!!!????
@@samuelbadillocastillo7447 Maybe! Yes!
No kidding. Now I deal with a little thing, but nasty, called arthritis
Simplesmente amo essa música,sinto uma energia maravilhosa toda vez que ouço 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Fukin rights, these people now days would be our beloved elders...so so much respect!!!👌👊👊👊👊
Here in 2024 and time to bring this music back!!! 💃🕺
Love the sheer joy and energy these dancers portray. Most of them look like almost flying on the stage. Dancing was a real business back then.
Not an overweight person in the house either. Disco is, obviously, great for health 🖤
Everything back then was taken with more pride .
@@gildedpeahen876 Some people do actually stay fat even with a lot of cardio. It's not like there aren't any people who enjoy dancing a lot but are still fat. Have you not seen those dancing security guard videos? Some of those guys move way, way better than you would ever imagine for people with those builds.
I mean, yeah, sure, most people will be a lot leaner if they exercise more, but some people just don't lose the weight that easily, and can actually be fairly healthy and fat at the same time. I'm definitely not one of those people, as I can stay thin without even doing the minimum amount of exercise you're supposed to do, but I know that it's a lot different for some people.
It's mostly the cocaine.
In 1979 I was 21 - now I'm 63 - - Still love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U. Better. Haha
Just keep Rockin 👏👍
Me too I'm 65
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......
@Giamm Lieddack pfftffffffft.
Мне 67,бабушка,всегда любила зарубежные песни,и наверное всегда буду с удовольствием слушать и смотреть заводные танцы, песня супер
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
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 💙
Quién lo viera eh
10 FEB 2021 Dear Mike, Age is just a number in the mind .. Try and you shall succeed ...
I never knew how much I needed this video until right now.....
One more time , the marsh family
Do do do do dody..
Got that right !! 😊❤
Very nice disco music from the 70's, *** new style of techno dancing 🕺, *** beautiful, *** western Australia 🇦🇺
Linda música no pasa d moda me recuerda mi juventud. Y la sigo disfrutando. 😊😊😊
Viva la musica
Que no pasa de moda
Disfrútala solo vivimos
Una ves ✌️✌️✌️✌️😩😩😩😩
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'm 26 , watch this video a couple times a week! Phenomenal dancing and beats!
Hi - I'm 63 and remember dancing like a fool when this came on in the clubs......
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.
I can’t stop watching this, it was a an outstanding period in time.
Ja, absolut. Never forget.
I don't know why it had to end.
Yes in deed the 70s were fantastic I was there
Much love from Scotland ❤️ 🏴
I want to go back to the 70’s era my teenage decade 😢😢😢😢
This video never gets old. I love it.
Wake up n start my day to this every morning!!! Since i found it 4 months ago WE WERE BORN TO B ALIIIIVE PEOPLE
Still here! Born2B-Alive
Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love this!, disco music was the best of the best, just happiness ando too much dancing 🕺🏻
good song. good video
This was filmed in an alternate reality where people had fun and loved life.
Sorry, not an alternate reality ,
*this was a World Disco Dance Contest.*
nothing to do with alternate reality .....
@@Phantasia.Official wake up you control the frequency you want to see proof-
just focus and change one thing in your life that is hard-as simple as drinking coffee-now look around you again. focus you will see a slight change -look for it. when you find it that is proof that you moved from one reality to another reality through frequency- pass it on:) your welcome
The 70s!
Then came the Lawyers & Corruption RULED...---!!!
The Government Corporate Banking "FRAUD" is Falling apart...---!!!
I lost confidence over a decade ago. Since then it's just been torture watching this slowly unfold.
2010 is when I discovered how stupid I had been.... I took my head out my ass now I can think 😂😂🤣🤣
Old fishermen never die we just smell that way, see you on the otherside One far away day. If this song doesn't play at my funeral I'm not going...---!!!

@Francisco Araneta thank you :) ... I didn't mean to express depression, but it almost does seem like the 70s were a separate reality. I was born in 1981, and fondly remember soul train, and good music in general. Times have changed, in America.
all of them are favorites, I thinks is impossible to choose one, everyone is amazing,
For some reason i like the second one
Denmark 😍
That´s so cool. It makes me nostalgic about a time that i never experienced
Really love this video, and the flashing disco lights are the perfect ending! Disco lives forever in my world🎉
Grew up with this in the 80’s …still got a vinyl record of this album , these days i put it on repeat and it brings me a smile to my face as well of all the dances and videos out there that brought this back to life ,actually bringing dance and joy to people of all ages ,a ageless tune really ❤❤❤ freaking awesome !!!!!
70s
Best music
Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Disco 🪩 💃 🕺
Not even a professional dancer could come up with unique dance styles that come from within this dancing souls.
@jay parks not like that is a bad thing!
Sometimes I like to think the earth is being invaded by aliens, and the whole destiny of our lives consists in a dancing battle against the aliens, and those people in the video are our soldiers.
Love it 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊brilliant
🎉🎉
Back when dancing was self expression and not twerking. Everyone there is dancing like nobody is watching
Uau !!!
Divertidas, humoradas e apropriada palavras😊
Been invaded by a bunch of morons
Wow, some impressive dancing.
Every time I watch this I can't help but smile and wish to do this at least once in my life
Everyone’s dancing, smiling and not on their phones video taping it. They are living in the moment enjoy each other ❤️
Right you are, won't see that again.
This is so true..we lost something.💃🕺
So true, if I was a trillionaire, I’d buy a city and we’d all throw our phones away, get vintage cars and live like it’s the 70s forever
Classic skating song!!!
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).
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
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 🥰
Thanks for sharing this, your Mom sounds amazing.
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
