Leslie McGregor "Leee" John (born 23 June 1957)[1] is an English musician, singer and actor of St Lucian descent.

[3][4][5] John was born in Hackney, London, and educated in New York City, later studying drama at the Anna Scher Theatre School.

Despite signing, aged 10 or 11, to a record label and notably working as a background singer for The Delfonics, the Chairmen of the Board, The Velvelettes and The Elgins,[8] he moved back as a teenager to England to live with his mother.

[9] Together with Ingram and Errol Kennedy (born 9 June 1953, Montego Bay, Jamaica) they formed Imagination, a three-piece soul music band, in the early 1980s.

John went back to acting, but in 2003 resurfaced in the reality television show Reborn in the USA, alongside other singers such as Elkie Brooks and Tony Hadley.

[13] He released a number of dance singles in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including the UK garage and house tracks "Your Mind, Your Body, Your Soul" on Locked On Records and "U Turn Me" with Ten City vocalist Byron Stingily (2000).
