My # 1 JAM back in the 80's 😎 and NOW @ 59 yrs young. This is Exactly what we are All going thru right now, but not for long. God is not done yet.✝️ 🕊🇺🇲🕊🇺🇲🕊🇺🇲🕊🇺🇲🕊🇺🇲🕊🇺🇲 Nothing Can Stop What's Coming 🙋♀️
"Just an Illusion" is a song by the British trio Imagination. Co-written by Steve Jolley, Tony Swain, Ashley Ingram and Leee John, the song was a major European hit, peaking at number two in the group's native UK. In the United States, "Just an Illusion" went to number twenty-seven on the soul chart. The song also peaked at number fifteen on the dance charts.
This is grown folks music. I feel so mature when I listen to this. Knowing the time is was made and appreciating the originality. They made music instead of sampling it. Thank God for the creativity.
This has got to be the BEST SONG of the 80's. I remember the first time I listened to it, it was 1982, I think, fell in love with it straight away, and still love it. Brilliant!!!
If the 80's had a sound, this is definitely one of them. Keyboards ruled the day. There's a reason the 80's has some of the most sampled music. What a time to be by the radio
95% of the crap hip hop ,rap ,or whatever can't come close to to the music of this era. If you didn't grow up then they'll never understand or know what they missed. We lucked out big time. I'll be 80 years old and still be listening to 80's stuff.
How about you respect the new generation of artists instead of talking such a bullshit. Every generation has its own sound. You do not seem to understand the new sound.
Man 92 KTU had this funky remix with mad echo and reverbs...always had the cassette ready but could never catch it on time. Beautiful voice and the back ups too.
Illusion was a legendary techno/house/trance club in Belgium that in 2011 after 24 years closed, this was the very last record played, they coudn't have chosen a better one.....
REMINDS ME OF THE WHITE RABBIT DISCO HOUSE. IN CORPUS CHRISTI TX. IT WAS A GREAT HOUSE. MET A GROUP OF GIRLS THERE. IN. THE END I MET MY GIRLFRIEND, / NOW MY WIFE. GOOD MUSIC, AND MISS MY FRIENDS, GIRLS I KNEW, BUT MOST OF ALL MISS MY MOTHER, AUNT,AND UNCLE THAT RAISED ME. BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. LETS ALL CHANT.
oh yes. my jam so smooth and great memories. Wow I remember like it was yesterday. shame all good things come to an end. I remember where I was when I first heard this. Love always.
I remember dancing to this song as a little girl of 7. My brother had all the cool records,and his room was right next to mine. I used to sit outside his door and listen to all of these tracks...and then when he went out, I'd use his record player!Those were good times...
This was early brit-soul in the early 80's with Junior's Mama Used to Say starting the movement. Billy Ocean,Imagination, Central Line (Walking Into Sunshine), Loose Ends, Soul II Soul, Mica Paris, Sade and many others followed Junior with varied degrees of success in the USA. WBLS and WRKS gave these artists much love.
Que lindos recuerdos me trae esta musica me acuerdo de los años 80 85 q vivia en Grecia en Athenas Pancratis y me hiba de discotecas y estaba de moda este grupo musical me acuerdo de carmen Alba y yelba mis amigas nicas
This track is from their excellent 1983 album "Night Dubbing" which contains all their hits in the form of cool remixes like this. I have this on vinyl to this day! Keep Groovin'!
THIS IS A MAJOR BASS, KEYBOARD, AND SMOOTH LYRICS. OMG I REMEMBER GETTING BUSY. TO THIS JAM AT THE PALADIUM IN NEW YORK CITY. 14TH ST. N 3RD AVE. HELL YEAH!!!!!!!
There was a Miniteque back in the 80's called Betelgeuse (Venezuela) and I perfectly remember when I hear this extended version of Illusion for the very first time, it blew my mind and since then has been sticked with me..
Just watched F/X and F/X2 the other night and grooved all the way through the end credits :) Love the movies but this song brings me back to amazing times in my life!
f ing awesome, then and now!! The first time I heard this tune, was in the basement of my old neighborhood buddy Carlos, who got me started mixing my own tunes from back in '82. Never gets old for me, wich I could close my eyes and be at Club 231 in Carle Place LI in 1982-84. Brings a BIG tear!, but God has blessed us all with have memory and I am glad I have memories from back then. SIGH!!!
I graduated in 1998 but I remember a radio station playing old songs at noon would always play this song that’s how I remember finding it and have always like the beat
I love old songs as it appears for instance here, very beautifil song, it has certain beat that makes the song worth to listen. As if nowdays songs are trends, if they would hear this, they would like more this song.
Esta música acabou de me transportar no tempo, uns bons para trás...Sem dúvida que os anos 80"s não só marcaram uma geração, mas sim muitas mais. O meu filho, com vinte e dois anos, diz-me muitas vezes, que gostaria de ter vivido nessa década...❤️❤️❤️
Sonido pop que me traslada a los 80.S. viendo un VHS. Del film : FX. (Banda sonora que era bailable en esa época y bastante entretenida la película). Gratos recuerdos. 🎉😊
I'm 56..I'm a Dj from the Old School..these guys ..they did it all. Best dance music ever.
Still enjoying this song at age 62. THIS IS MUSIC !!
I just turned 67 and still loving this
I turn 50 years old this old school music will never get old
This song brings back so many memories from when I was growing up in Chicago. Thank GOD for RUclips ... !!!
The original extended version!!! What a pleasure man!!! So many years without hearing it!
These brothers were way ahead of their time. Just awesome music to be appreciated.

Well said
Amazing to say it’s 39 years old....7mins 29sec onwards is just fantastic
I was born in 82 and the first time I heard this song I fell in love with it. The remix is banging! Early 80's Soul era is the best!
i agree with you....early 80s soul era is the best.
you're an old soul

Nelson Ortíz
Me too Nelson ! It was fantastic in the 80's ! The 90's were also good & then Bof ! Love from Beirut 🇱🇧
The sensual side of high energy music. A time to bump and grind, and dim the lights on the dance floor.
31 ans après, toujours aussi bon d'entendre çà... Que du bonheur avec les 80's, avec la musique de l'époque, çà aide à supporter la vie des 2010's!!
Magic souvenir des Années 80 on the DanceFloor!!
I friggin love this hit... BASS, Bass, and more BASS...
If the 80's had a sound, this is definitely one of them. Keyboards ruled the day. There's a reason the 80's has some of the most sampled music. What a time to be by the radio
so true
95% of the crap hip hop ,rap ,or whatever can't come close to to the music of this era. If you didn't grow up then they'll never understand or know what they missed. We lucked out big time. I'll be 80 years old and still be listening to 80's stuff.
So true
So wright we had so good
Agree
How true.
How about you respect the new generation of artists instead of talking such a bullshit. Every generation has its own sound. You do not seem to understand the new sound.
REMEMBER when this was standard at the DISCO, just before the "Disco Era" ended. Good times !
Man 92 KTU had this funky remix with mad echo and reverbs...always had the cassette ready but could never catch it on time. Beautiful voice and the back ups too.
Everything about this músic is awesome, no other músic compares to the 1980's..
heavy + deep + funk + soul = 😎✌💓
Illusion was a legendary techno/house/trance club in Belgium that in 2011 after 24 years closed, this was the very last record played, they coudn't have chosen a better one.....
Sounds like a legendary place for many reasons and i wish i could have experienced it
REMINDS ME OF THE WHITE RABBIT DISCO HOUSE. IN CORPUS CHRISTI TX. IT WAS A GREAT HOUSE. MET A GROUP OF GIRLS THERE. IN. THE END I MET MY GIRLFRIEND, / NOW MY WIFE.

Wowie Zowie!! One of my faves from the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a cool song! It's the closing song from the movie F/X in 1985. These guys are great!
Memories of good times.
The Imagination must be regarded as the beginning of soulful music. Sade. another big time woman singer, by me, of the Smooth Jazz
oh yes. my jam so smooth and great memories. Wow I remember like it was yesterday. shame all good things come to an end. I remember where I was when I first heard this. Love always.
This was the jam back in the day... I remember hearing this song on the radio while my stepfather drove us to school... #classic #goodoledays

I love this song and my brother also had all the good music.
Wonderful song forever....
This song brings back a lot of memories when I was at Ft. Hood, Texas.
I remember dancing to this song as a little girl of 7. My brother had all the cool records,and his room was right next to mine. I used to sit outside his door and listen to all of these tracks...and then when he went out, I'd use his record player!Those were good times...
