He is one of the pioneers of house music, often cited as "the originator of House music" by critics and historians.

Daley declared July 17, 1997, as "Jesse Saunders and the Pioneers of House Music Day" in Chicago. Since his emergence as a DJ almost three decades ago, Saunders has run several of his own independent labels, and worked extensively in music and film production, as well as artist promotion and management.
