Imagination was a trio from the U.K. that place a synthesized and ofttimes clubbish whirl on soul groups from the ‘70s. In fact, a couple of ‘70s groups have address ties to Imagination; Leee John and Ashley Ingram spent time during that decennium acting supportive roles in the Delfonics and Chairmen of the Board, prior to Imagination's formation. Along with drummer Errol Kennedy, vocalizer John and bassist Ingram formed the grouping in 1981. By the ending of that year, they already had their beginning record album released and a minor hit in the form of that album's title track, "Body Talk." The group's endorsement 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 "Hardly an Illusion" (#27), "Conjuration and Lights" (#52), and "Changes" (#46). Those singles were regular more democratic in their home state, with the first geminate reaching the tip basketball team. The remix collection Night Dubbing appeared the following year, as did the group's third gear proper record album, Shocking. The group's success fizzled until their mid ‘90s dissolution (at the time, Leee John was the only odd original member), though 1984's "This Means War" was able to pose a scratch in the U.S. R&B chart. John remained active in the amusement industry, hosting U.K. tV programs and continuing his recording calling as a solo creative person and cooperator. Since the group's split, several compilations have been released; Music Club's The Very Best of Imagination is the best place to get going.
