3. LEEE JOHN OF IMAGINATION BIOGRAPHY:

With a remarkable career spanning over 3 decades and with record sales in excess of over 30 million

albums LEEE JOHN and his group IMAGINATION released and successfully had so many amazing

classic hits singles and platinum ,gold and silver albums such as, Body Talk, Just An illusion,

Flashback, Music and Lights and Changes and many more presenting the perfect Brit Soul/Jazz/Funk

songs and establishing their position as essential 80's crossover hit-makers and an influence for

future generations in the music industry.

Even today the story of IMAGINATION’s music continues in the form of a long list of samples, remixes and adaptations by major contemporary stars. Such as THE PHARCYDE , DIMITRI from Paris, Destiny's Child (complete with Beyoncé) sampled Just An illusion on their 1998 self-titled debut

album produced by WYCLEF JEAN ., Leee himself featured on DJ Dero's 2005 rendition of the song which was widely played in clubs. Mariah Carey recorded “Illusion” on her top ten single “Get Your Number”. Flashback was sampled by Boards of Canada, Music & Lights by Tiger & Woods. All Night Loving by 88 Keys featuring Kanye West! It’s fair to say founding member, lead singer and songwriter LEEE

JOHN is one of the hardest working men in music, touring

internationally both as LEEE JOHN of IMAGINATION and as LEEE

JOHN in his ever-popular solo performances showing his continuous

diversity across multi genres from the pop stream as well as his

more classic presentation in the jazz world, none better reflecting

this than with the release of his last critically acclaimed solo album

“Feel My Soul”. http://www.feelmysoul.co.uk/

With the ever-evolving music industry changes, LEEE JOHN has

found his strengths and new challenges working with many different

types of record producers, artists, musicians on various projects e.g.

IMAGINATION harmonies creating that familiar blend of melody

which makes you remember each individual song, taking you on a

magical musical adventure into the world of “Retropia”.

Supporting from its release the “Retropia” album scores an incredible 2 x Number # 1 songs in the

classic and unforgettable anthem originally recorded way back in 1977 by Junior Murvin/Lee Scratch

40 years on.
