Background notes
Archive material and source history
Disco Kings were a German disco group formed around vocalist Patrick Hernandez. Their 1979 single 'Born To Be Alive' became an international hit, capturing the energy of the late disco period. The song's success propelled the band, which included members like guitarist Jean Van Loo, bassist Benny Solo, and drummer Andre Lafosse, to release several albums including 'Disco Kings' and 'The World Is Yours'.
Hernandez's flamboyant stage presence and the band's association with disco's more extravagant side drew some criticism at the time. There was also a legal dispute over the authorship of 'Born To Be Alive.' After the group dissolved, Hernandez continued as a solo artist with songs like 'Love to Love You.'
