Not just an illusion - Leee John to play Powderham

Over the past three decades multi award winning British soul group Imagination released so many wonderful classic hits such as Body Talk, Just An illusion and Flashback, helping  them to secure their dominance over the charts in the 1980s not only in the UK but across the world.

With sales in excess of over 30 million albums, Imagination presented perfect Brit Jazz/Funk songs and established their position as an essential 80s crossover soul-dance hit band influencing generations of future pop stars.

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.  Destiny's Child (complete with Beyoncé) sampled Just An illusion on their 1998 self-titled debut album.

Leee himself featured on DJ Dero's 2005 rendition of the song which was widely played in clubs. The same year saw Mariah Carey reuse the track 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!

Imagination featuring LEEE JOHN will be celebrating 35 Years with Live shows packed with all the classic hits and more and  will be performing on Saturday 1st July at the Lets Rock Festival at Powderham Castle near Exeter: http://www.letsrockexeter.com/
