This excerpt was taken from an interview in 1994 and later was published in Jonathan Fleming's book "What Kind Of House Party Is This?" It is the summarizing feature in the book as related by the originator and founder of what we know as "House Music"
Jesse Saunders'Well there are two ways to translate that. If you wanna speak of House as the movement, the sounds and the music that we know today, we're talking about 1983. If you're talking about what was the catalyst to make it grow to what it finally grew into in 1983, then you've got to go back to the Disco days. But see, there's a very thin line there between what was Disco and truly what House is today. So starting from the beginning, it all transcended from the Warehouse basically, because if Wayne hadn't have gone there and heard that music, in turn he would never have taken me there, and we wouldn't have been able to grow as a company and as a force to forge this music on people and make them listen and believe in it. All I did in 1983 was actually embellish that whole thing and kinda put it together, kinda like a basketball team-- if you don't have Michael Jordan, or you don't have your guards, your forwards or your center making up the team, then they don't win the championship. What we did was gather all the right ingredients, and luckily I was just fortunate enough to be able to take all of that and make it into the sound we know today as House. I mean, I had to have a vision in order to make something, but really what I was doing was just taking a little o' this and a little o' that, a little creativity, and making that one sound that became the first record, which was 'On And On'. But I can't take credit for the ingredients, you know, it's just like making a recipe--you can't take credit for basil or salt and pepper because they have always been there, you're just using them to make create your recipe, and that's exactly what I did with Disco to make my 'On And On' besides the original 'On And On' record that there was.
