As the main man of Imagination, Leee John enjoyed hits in 28 countries with Body Talk, Just an Illusion, and Flashback. In this interview, Leee talks about Flashback - a documentary about Black British Music, life during 80s Britain, his musical influences, the time as a child that he spent in New York, and his first appearance on Top of the Pops.

A revealing, open, and sometimes moving interview, if you lived through the 80s and 90s, you'll recognise some parallels to your own life
