Imagination were a trio from the U.K. that put a synthesized and often clubby spin on soul groups from the "70s. In fact, a couple of "70s groups have direct ties to Imagination; Leee John and Ashley Ingram spent time during that decade playing supportive roles in the Delfonics and Chairmen of the Board, prior to Imagination"s formation. Along with drummer Errol Kennedy, vocalist John and bassist Ingram formed the group in 1981. By the end of that year, they already had their first album released and a minor hit in the form of that album"s title track, "Body Talk." The group"s second album, 1982"s In the Heat of the Night, was their most successful, spawning a trio of U.S. R&B chart hits in the form of "Just an Illusion" (number 27), "Music and Lights" (number 52), and "Changes" (number 46). Those singles were even more popular in their home country, with the first pair reaching the Top Five. Imagination, the leading band of the 80s, left their mark on the history of disco and funk music. Their hits include such world-famous favourites as "Just an Illusion", "Flashback", "Music & Lights" and "So good so right". Leee John"s crystal-clear, sensual voice is instantly recognisable. In May 2022, this concert celebrates 40 years of career at the legendary Olympia in Paris.
