I'm liking the dance track mind
Done without any synths (at least commercially produced ones), so fair play to her

The original Doctor Who theme is an absolute electronic classic.
Undoubtedly Kraftwerk
Vangelis was developing his electronic sound at pretty much the same time, predates Eno with 'ambient' stuff by around 3 years
But not Electro or even dance music. No Kraftwerk, no Electro.
If we're talking Electronic music in general then there's stuff that predates Vangelis by at least 20 years. Klaus Schulze and other Krautrock artists were making Electronic music at the same time as him, influenced by the originals like Stockhausen.
Planet Rock, Kraftwerk and funk were the main influences on Electro. Planet Rock even samples Kraftwerk.
Some argue Kraftwerk were Electro themselves, but I'd just called them an Electronic Pop group - an influence on all Dance music sub genres but not part of any.
Donna Summer - I feel love is deemed to be the first ever techno record.![]()
