History

Leee John (born Leslie McGregor John, 23 June 1957) is an English musician, singer, and actor of St Lucian descent.

John was born in Hackney, London and educated in New York City, later studying drama at the Anna Scher Theatre School. He is best known as the lead singer of 80’s soul band Imagination, who had three UK Top 10 hits in the early 1980s.

He was working as a backing singer when he met Ashley Ingram (born 27 November 1960, Northampton, England) a guitarist/bassist.

They formed a songwriting partnership, working in a short-lived band called Fizzz. Together with Ingram and Errol Kennedy (born 9 June 1953, Montego Bay, Jamaica) they formed Imagination, a three-piece soul music band, in the early 1980s.

Produced by Jolley & Swain, their hit “Body Talk” reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1981. Their biggest hit, “Just an Illusion”, peaked at number 2 in March 1982. The trio frequently appeared on Top of the Pops and other pop music programmes.

Leee is an Ambassador for SOS Children’s Villages, an international orphan charity providing homes and mothers for orphaned and abandoned children. He currently supports the charity’s annual World Orphan Week campaign which takes place each February.
