Patrick Hernandez - Born to be Alive. Yikes - here goes. OK, the title is Curtis Collects Vinyl Records. We here in the basement at ecumenical - so without comment on musical quality or artistic stylings from a bygone era...when I saw this LP in the bins at Record Breakers this past Saturday during Record Store Day - I just had to buy it. It hit pretty big in 1979, the year I graduated from high school. I had Nugent and Seger tapes in my heavily Bondo'd Fiat 124 Spider Sport ragtop. But I would sneak into the den and play this record. On the back cover there, under the logo thing, inside the boxed area it says "With Special Guest Hervé Tholance." I looked that dude up on wiki and read the he's an arranger, guitarist, and vocalist. And during this last seventies period, he and Patrick formed a duo and started achieving local success, backing French musicians such as Francis Cabrel, Laurent Voulzy, and the French group Gold.
