	Actors - Leee John

Leee John was born John Leslie McGregor in Hackney, London, of St Lucian descent, on June 23 1957. He was educated in New York, later studying drama at the Anna Scher Theatre School.

He was working as a backing singer when he met Ashley Ingram (born on 27 November, 1960), a guitarist/bassist from Northampton. They formed a songwriting partnership, resolving to start their own 'slinky, sexy and erotic' group, working in a short-lived band called Fizzz. Together with Errol Kennedy (born on 9 June, 1953, in Montego Bay, Jamaica), they formed Imagination, a three piece soul music band from the United Kingdom in the early 1980s. Their hit "Body Talk" number 4 in the UK in May 1981. Their biggest hit, "Just an Illusion", peaked at number two in March 1982. The trio frequently appeared on Top of the Pops and other pop music programmes.

Despite not being an actor, Leee John made a guest appearance on Doctor Who in the story Enlightenment in 1983. He replaced an actor who had dropped out at short notice. The group in the UK waned but they continued to perform, tour and record until the early 1990s. John went back to acting, but recently resurfaced in the reality TV show Reborn in the USA.
