@@r3ysb469 yup. 80's was best of the 3 decades. i DJ'd in at least 6 clubs in that span. met artists, went to some great clubs around the country. New York, Chicago, Boston. some of my best times.
Only few songs can cross the boundaries of eras and epochs without fading and loosing their beauty. "Just an illusion" is one of those evergreen songs. I love it from my soul. Hats off to the Imagination who entertained us for decades.
Then I guess I'm a legend..... My sibling put me on to these underrated guys in the 80s when 45 & 33 rpm records were the norm .... These guys had more tracks of brilliance as well .... Imagination is still playing on my tablet .... Earbuds..... And at work...... This era is when real artists created music 🎵🎶 with a message .... Where you can actually hear the lyrics.... I just recently turned 60.... And I'm still jamming to IMAGINATION..... ✌🏾❤️😊
Was in school when this came out we would all drop our books and move our feet just cool stuff today I am rolling on the highway to Maryland and I am bobbing my head to the beat.
This is one of my fave 80’s Top of the Pop performances, British bands certainly helped define and rule 80s music. What a iconic legend disco hit!I love their outfits and dancing with a guitar while playing! So much talent! Superb musicianship! 🪩🎵🎶🎤🤩✨🌟😍😘🥰 🎸 🥁
If you’re listening to this in 2024, you’re a true legend. Note: I will update the year if you keep leaving your beautiful comments. Love yall and happy new year!
We're on a downward spiral and it started when we started to accept the unacceptable. When we started to accept lower and lower standards in expression (both verbal and visual), in morals and in behaviour. We passed the no return point.
@@alexmala6483 I hope you are wrong but I have a horrible feeling you are right !.I've noticed the gradual but steady decline in standards, morals and behaviour for at least a decade now. I recall my best friend saying, back in the 80's , " You get it everywhere, this " I'm all right Jack attitude ." I think his words are as true today as when he said them all those years ago, unfortunately.
This is one of several records that reminds me of a particularly warm and sunny spring in 1982. Things seemed fresh, optimistic, and change was truly in the air that year in the UK…..
They laugh at us when they see that we dont know the music that's in fashion today. EG I don't know the song of the year, for this year or last year. but I know Despacito
We could. We did. And we looked ace whilst doing it. Every single tune sounded on point, yet completely individual and fresh and appealing. Underrated era.
this song has some much power, especially for todays youth/generation who are stressed, depressed, anxious, who are lost in life - who maybe soul searching.
I knew this was a special track when I first heard it as a boy when it came out. Still love it in 2020, I’ll never dislike it. Ashley, Errol & Leee you’re geniuses 👏🏻
This is the kind of music/song/jam that anyone who has no rhythm whatsoever; still can dance and groove any kind of way! With all due respect; most (not all) of the "noise pollution" in "2020" that the masses consider music does not compare in no way, shape, nor fashion! One of the best roller skating jams/songs ever! I remember this song playing inside of the "Empire Roller skating Rink" in the 1980s growing up as a kid in Crown heights/Flatbush/Brooklyn. Respect and major thanks to "Imagination"! 1980s had to be one of the best decades in the 20th century for music, culture, movies, creativity, fashion, and the overall human condition! Yes; there are many of us that enjoy the art of reminiscing about the nostalgia of the "1980s"!
nos anos 70 e 80 , ligar o radio no carro , qualquer estacao , pura emocao, somente musicas como estas , pura emocao, quem viveu dira....., ainda bem que temos uma forma de recordar , este canal, o programa Remember Tv Aberta SP, Radio Alpha, Radio Antena 1, Radio Saudade FM, boa viagem no tempo......
Leee John is a great friend of mine. We've done lots of theatre shows together over the years - during my pro dancer years. He is super cool and down to earth in real life with a great sense of humour.
awesome. Please tell him a fan here in the US loved this so song very much I choregraphed a routine for our high school dance squad to it! So awesome thanks Mr. John

In 1982, I was vacationing in Mallorca for three weeks when this "magic" hit the chart, took the island in storm. No regrets just sweet memories or was it JUST AN ILLUSION...!!!!
60’s 70’s 80’s was the best eras, nothing will ever bring them back, we had great music, money, jobs, manners, respects, etc. The 90’s and 20’s they will never be like the eras most of us grew up in.
Heard this song first time in a big cinema hall in Karachi in 1983 and just went CRAZY instantly and purchased the cassette of imagination just after the show from nearby music shop. 37 years gone by December 2020 and still listen it off and on. Great musical band it was.👌👍🏼😍🎶🔊🎧😵
Before I was listening to r&p and classic old school from 80’s But I feel in love with this kind of music disco and boogie from 70s After I’ve watched studio 54 documentaries this was in Manhattan the best nightlife ever in world wish I were born in this era lol coz I’m 36 next oct . Cheers from Egyptian nubian dancing more and more in this kind of songs
Ali Himdani duh! They’re actually singers from the 80’s genius! They had some hits in the 90’s but their golden years belong to the 80’s except Lenny who found success in the 90’s!
Top of pops should never have been cancelled. Excellent show.
This was Toppop. Not to be mistaken with BBC's Top Of The Pops 😉
80's British bands had it covered, it was a decade of great music.
sheffield sound
I'm 18 years old and would take this song over 95% of the songs on the charts today...

80's the best music ever..............yeah April 2024!!!!!
Love love love this. God bless the 80’s. wish I could go back,,,😢😢

Immortal song!
The '80's, best decade ever.
Iesssss 👍👍👍
2nd best....the 70's were #1......
No more comparaisons with today's hits. 80's music best decade ever
And 70s music as well
70s , 80s, 90s gold ages of the music

2023 y esta cancion sigue siendo una belleza es perfecta es una joya verdadera lo amo👍😎
I have always love this song and it's still a great hit for me.
Lee John , Ashley ingram & Erol Kenedy ..........thank you so much
This song is more relevant today than when its came out.
I think the whole universe is an illusion one day we might wake up and find it's all a dream 😱😱😱😱
Is anything REAL,???????????
The world stage is on a big confusion trip..
That’s for sure
No illusion here
We never undermine the 70's, 60's & 50's. When I walk down memory lane 80's got your mojo back + swagger.
I guess I’m a legend because I listen to this band all the time I discovered them when I was stationed in Germany in 1984 and I was mesmerized
Alemanha. Coitada 😮😮
Music from a special time in one’s life ..... never to be forgotten.
yes it was a illusion
This is music...I love 80s
I love this song! Takes me back to my junior semester abroad in Madrid. It was playing a lot in the discos! ❤
When good music was played based on pure talent.

Today’s music is just an illusion!!
Sabias palavras. 👍
Best comment so far...
True!
I wish!
Today's music is trash 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
One of my favs from the eighties!! A real gem!
👍👍👍Beau et bon souvenir...😎Cool😎👍👍👍
Was in school when this came out we would all drop our books and move our feet just cool stuff today I am rolling on the highway to Maryland and I am bobbing my head to the beat.
GREAT DAYS ❤️❤️❤️
this song been in my head all day long
What a beautiful Voice! Imagination rocks!
Was 16 in 1982...so fortunate to have witnessed the 80s....its been the best decade so far talking about music
A classic of the 80's.
Classic imagination! Absolutely amazing stuff! 80’s Brits can’t get enough of it. Reminds me of my youth! Loving it in 2020!! 🙌
yea we do not need to be remind what Fokin year it is now

I am a true legend didn't you know

Thanks! 😁
This is one of my favorite songs growing up, I'll be 49,in November 21st!!
*HANDS DOWN*
80s artists worked hard for it.
Last great decade.
Last decade where the artists put there heart and soul into there music and just didn't sing what they pay them to sing like todays artists.
TRUTH...
Absolutely! 80s the Best&forever!

SUPERB CLASSIC DISCO POP OF THE TIME !!!...I was a teenager when they released the tune....! never time like the 80 s !!
Indeed!It's a huge hit in Greece as well,for many years...an all time classic dance song!No my dad's party without it!🤗❕
funk not disco pop !
Great days great bands great music days very very sadly missed 😢😢😢
80 la década ❤️💕
@@begonagarciaalvaez350 eso es 🤗
So under-rated,this was the most sexy sounding band ever and i loved them!
Takes me back to great times!👍🙂
70s
80s
90s what a music, i'm 38 old, I live the 90s, but I realy preffer that music than today!
They laugh at us when they see that we dont know the music that's in fashion today. EG I don't know the song of the year, for this year or last year. but I know Despacito
Forget genres -there is good music and there's bad music. This is good.
Its also telling you a Story about this False Reality.
Ha yes!
Leee John does such clean spins. I would love to dance with him!!!
He came in my store the other day, such a nice gentleman 😎
I can imagine being in the 80's and walking into the club when this song comes on
I wish I was back in those days and be able to stay there 😢
While you just could have stayed home and listen on you tube in 2020.
They were all this good then anyways, disco, beat & early hip hop
We could. We did. And we looked ace whilst doing it. Every single tune sounded on point, yet completely individual and fresh and appealing.
Underrated era.
I can talk you. I was.
I really like their style. The air piano is stunning!
🎶 It’s just an illusion 🎶
@@satveergill77 I was just thinking about this video the other day and forgot the artist and the name of the song!
@@andreatrue3054 I’m sure you could have remembered the artist 👩🎨 sooner …if only you used a little imagination 💭
Back for more in 2024🎉

Invejoso

The 80s the time of the real music.musicians and music producers all time🎹🎼
Real music died in1989, 😥😢
I saw these guys live in the early 80's. Still love this now in 2024.
A geração 80,éramos feliz e não sabíamos 😉😝👊
One of the greatest songs with a legendary beat.
I knew this was a special track when I first heard it as a boy when it came out. Still love it in 2020, I’ll never dislike it. Ashley, Errol & Leee you’re geniuses 👏🏻
I went to Leee John's House Party twice in Hendon! He is such a loving guy. God bless him. His parties were super fun x
Imagination!Too hot.Superbad! British bands have always been electrifying, innovative and yummy.
Incredibly stimulating of ones past if you were young then.recalls many memories and feelings
So 80s it's fantastic
Oh boy.... the magical and captivating sounds of the 80's.
A three member band that revolutionized the electronic sound. Missing the eighties as usual.
what d you mean electronic sound?
I tried to write Disco-Funk sound....not electronic sound, sorry got confused.
Great times now very very sadly miseed 😢😢
Retro man looking for the hits from the past 😛😛😛😛😛❤💋
Loved these guys and the group The System also. Both groups made great music with minimal band members.
Love this group. Amen 🙏🏻 🇵🇷💃🇺🇸🙏🏻. Bless with manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy of their beautiful beloved tracks.

(illusione, illusione)
(Illusione, illusione)
Cercando un destino che è il mio
C'è un altro posto, un altro momento
Toccando molti cuori lungo la via, si
Sperando che non dirò mai
È solo un illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
Seguendo le tue emozioni ovunque
C'è davvero magia nell'aria?
Non lasciare mai che i tuoi sentimenti ti mettano a tappeto
Apri gli occhi e guardati intorno
È solo un'illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Portami indietro) in tutta questa confusione
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Aah...)
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Portami indietro) in tutta questa confusione
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Aah...)
Potrebbe essere un quadro nella mia mente
Non sono mai sicuro di cosa troverò esattamente
"Ti accendo solo nei miei sogni
Solo per un momento qui, poi vai via"
È solo un'illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh aah) illusione
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Portami indietro) in tutta questa confusione
(Potrebbe essere) è solo un'illusione
(Aah...)
(Aah...)

A very underrated band with some great hits.
The best decade ever! Dance, moves and voices are completamente toll!
How did I miss these guys in the 80s
60’s 70’s 80’s was the best eras, nothing will ever bring them back, we had great music, money, jobs, manners, respects, etc. The 90’s and 20’s they will never be like the eras most of us grew up in.

LOOOOOVE the air piano and synthesizer !!
Perfekt🤪!Welcome back to the 80s🥰😍🤧Great time🙏👠👗😻😻
Anos 80 nada se compara foi o melhor so musica top sudadesssssss

FANTASTIC SONG !!!!!!!!
I come from 2022… to see air playing of a piano… and Lil Wayne playing a bass guitar…
Yet I can’t stop listening to that song!!!
Minha adolescência foi maravilhosa,dancei e cantei muito esta canção!!
Falar ñ hein mas eu danço e cantor também não dá pra esquece. Ñ
Just beings back memories of London in the early 80s.
Never ever gets old!!!
Classic ❤️

Oh me too.... Very much so!!
2020 here.. who danced to this in clubs way back when? 🌆
I was born in 1957 but I pine for the 80s now. This atmospheric era of music was just the best....
Golden Age of internacional music
Boîte Don Julián, Madrid 1981
Who didn't? Clubs Rollerskating..we did it all...
Before I was listening to r&p and classic old school from 80’s
But I feel in love with this kind of music disco and boogie from 70s
After I’ve watched studio 54 documentaries this was in Manhattan the best nightlife ever in world wish I were born in this era lol coz I’m 36 next oct . Cheers from Egyptian nubian dancing more and more in this kind of songs
Golden period of music from 1975 to 1990.... It's all over...
Sade, Lenny Kravitz, Whitney etc made good music in the 90s
You must be talking about American music the UK has always had good music
Ali Himdani never heard of Sade can’t have been that good 😁
Rogue Sheep yeah right!
Ali Himdani duh! They’re actually singers from the 80’s genius! They had some hits in the 90’s but their golden years belong to the 80’s except Lenny who found success in the 90’s!
Amo esta música!!!!!!!!
Amo demais ❤️
One amongst the greatest track of the 80's
Loved the 80's this is one of the bands that we grew up with ❤
I listen this song when I was so young now I am 51 years old!!!!!!!!!
Bellissima 😜😜😜😜
Che Ricordi 😝😛😘😉🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺😁
at 2:35, is he actually playing an invisible piano? or is it just an ...... Illusion?
Those pants are an illusion!!!
He actually playing it pretty well

@Damon McGeachy TOTP was all about that lip-synch life as was Soul Train.
I'm 16 I must be an illusion!!!
