On & On (Jesse Saunders song)

"On & On" is a song performed by Jesse Saunders and written with record producer Vince Lawrence.[1] Saunders recorded it using a Roland TR-808 in 1983, based on a mash up of rhythm tracks containing interpolations of Space Invaders by Player One, Bad Girls by Donna Summer, and a song by the Giorgio Moroder band Munich Machine.[2][3][4] The song was released as a single on Jes Say Records in early 1984. It's frequently cited as the first House song released on vinyl.[5][6][7][8][9]
