  • 1978......#7 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #9 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #9 Canada
    Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
    "Imaginary Lover" is a 1978 hit single by the Atlanta Rhythm Section, the first release and greatest hit from their album Champagne Jam.
    The song reached #7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #9 in Canada. It is the group's second greatest hit, just behind "So in to You".
    "Imaginary Lover" extols the virtues of fantasy and "private pleasure" as being an easy way to guaranteed satisfaction in the absence of an actual lover. It also implies the superiority at times of imaginary lovers to real ones, eliminating the complications of relating to an actual partner as well as the possibilities of disagreement, rejection, or boredom.

      When sped up to approx 45 rpm, the vocal sounds as if Stevie Nicks were singing it! Love your channel!

    This is when music was music! You didn’t need to look up the lyrics because you could understand every single word the person was singing! 😊❤😊

    The sexiest music from this era that I can think of
    ARS’s talent is never hard to connect with
    Each cord, brings about their own unique…nuances
    It’s like they know they’re desired effect should be and how they want their audience to feel
    Next thing you know
    💥BOOM 💥
    You’re feeling it!!
    I’ll always love ATL Rhythm Section

    What? These cats mastered and play real instruments. They grasp what a melody line, chorus, and bridge are. We haven't seen such things in years. We now live in the Dark Ages of music. (But I'm grateful for the real ones trying on UA-cam, but unable to live off of their musical talent.)

    Great song
    Imaginary lovers
    Never turn you down
    When all the others turn you away
    They're around
    It's my private pleasure
    Midnight fantasy
    Someone to share my
    Wildest dreams with me
    Imaginary lover you're mine anytime
    Imaginary lovers, oh yeah
    When ordinary lovers
    Don't feel what you feel
    And real-life situations lose their thrill
    Imagination's unreal
    Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
    You're mine anytime
    Imaginary lovers never disagree
    They always care
    They're always there when
    You need satisfaction guaranteed
    Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
    You're mine all the time
    My imaginary lover
    You're mine anytime

    This is clearly not the kind of band that would have attracted groupies. But that's fine. Let all the groupies flock to Peter Frampton and Led Zeppelin. At least these guys can sleep at night with their "imaginary lovers" without worrying about getting the Clap!

    Always a huge fan of Atlanta Rhythm Section. This tune is about masturbation, and was VERY tastefully done by a guy with one of the best singing voices since Paul Rogers AND he's wearing his wedding ring. Which explains the masturbation.
