Biography
United Kingdom (1981 – 1983)
The band consisted of:
* Leee John was born John Lesley McGregor in Hackney, London, on 23 June 1957, of St Lucian descent. He was educated in New York, later studying drama at the Anna Scher Theatre School. He was working as a backing singer for The Delfonics, Chairmen Of The Board, The Velvelettes and The Elgins when he met …
* Ashley Ingram, a guitarist/bassist born on 27 November 1960, in Northampton. John and Ingram formed a songwriting partnership, resolving to start their own ‘slinky, sexy and erotic’ group, working in a short-lived band called Fizzz. Whilst auditioning for another short-lived band, Midnight Express, they met …
* Errol Kennedy, born on 9 June 1953, a drummer who was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and learned to drum in the Boys’ Brigade and Air Training Corps.
Leee John’s drama studies paid off when, among other roles, he was in the cast of the Doctor Who story ‘Enlightenment’ in 1983.
Imagination’s success began to wane after 1983. It coincided with a shift away from their signature sounds toward a more mainstream sound. Their fifth released, “Triology” included the moderate hits, “Thank You My Love”, Found My Girl” and the minor hit, “Last Days Of Summer.” Imagination’s sixth release titled “Closer” found them working the producers of another British band Loose Ends. It includes the hits “Instinctual” (#62 UK and #1 U.

I must admit to having Imagination as a guilty pleasure. They remind me of those awkward slow dances at the school disco :D

I love the their song called "Instictual"! I have heard this song occasionally for a decade previous to discovering it is an Imagination song! Leee John sounds fabulous with House music too!

Imaginations' image was both from ancient and futuristic. I believe that is what the members of Imagination intended. Their image aside, their music is fabulous and has a timeless quality musically and vocally that has become extremely rare!
