They are two essential singers on the “Star 80” tour.

Patrick Hernandez, author of the legendary

Born to be alive

(1978) and Phil Barney, inseparable interpreter of the title

Un enfant de toi

(1987), were the guests of the show

Pascal Praud et vous

this Friday.

On Europe 1, the two artists spoke about the 1980s, and Patrick Hernandez described this decade as “not funny”.

"The 1980s were anything but funny (...). For me, it was the oil shocks, unemployment which rose quite unbelievably... It was a bit of a slump, and I think that the music we made at that time was a way of clinging to very happy things because the period was not,” he explained at Pascal Praud’s microphone.
