38 years old and I’m here thank you to my mom 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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 turn 50 years old this old school music will never get old

Amazing to say it’s 39 years old....7mins 29sec onwards is just fantastic

OMG! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING !!

This song brings back so many memories from when I was growing up in Chicago. Thank GOD for KZfaq ... !!!

The original extended version!!! What a pleasure man!!! So many years without hearing it!

miss rockin' to this awesome cut in a packed club!!

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!

Wooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeeeeeeee.... awesome!!! Reminds me of my childhood, in public buses sounds blasting!!!

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 🙋‍♀️

good times....

I was a kid when this came out. My mom use to play this. I love this song still.

A great extended version of a song you could listen to for hours,days months, years,decades...................... ahhhhhh!

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

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.

These brothers were way ahead of their time. Just awesome music to be appreciated.

😎 one of my favorites from the past 😊

Don't get tired of this jam👍

REMEMBER when this was standard at the DISCO, just before the "Disco Era" ended. Good times !

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!!!

Wonderful Days.....I miss the best decade of my life....

heavy + deep + funk + soul = 😎✌💓

Great song, brings back great memories, 80's was the best ever.

"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.

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.

Always play this when I'm down, I will love it forever...Leee John, what a legend- what happened to him?

I love this song and my brother also had all the good music.

My Uncle Rodney loved this song.. RIP Unk Roc 🥺❤️

I friggin love this hit... BASS, Bass, and more BASS...

My late brother used to jam this back in the days. Gots to love the 80s

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...

Top für die Tanzfläche ...Sorry Dancefloor...zusammen mit Cool and the Gang Happy Music pur. Zeitlos und passend.

Loved this track all those years ago and still love it now!

Wowie Zowie!! One of my faves from the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Such a cool song! It's the closing song from the movie F/X in 1985. These guys are great!

Magic souvenir des Années 80 on the DanceFloor!!

Everything about this músic is awesome, no other músic compares to the 1980's..

Memories of good times.

I play this often...great memories of high school..

I thought, illustration, were good until I went to see them......they minded the whole lot....YES, it was just an illusion...thank god, I grew up!x

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.

The Imagination must be regarded as the beginning of soulful music. Sade. another big time woman singer, by me, of the Smooth Jazz

The jammmmm!

A great song and a reminder of them days when we were young and free. Mhh... fond memories.

The sensual side of high energy music. A time to bump and grind, and dim the lights on the dance floor.

This song brings back a lot of memories when I was at Ft. Hood, Texas.

So wonderful to listen to... can't sit still.

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.

Wow I remember roller skating to this.

Wonderful song forever....

These were the good ole days DAM. lets do it again...........

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.....

love this song forever!

Don't remember if I fell in love with the movie because of the song or fell in love with the song because of the movie!!

If these guys were not caught up in music legal battles in court we would have seen more of their music right into the ninetys and who knows

Sólo una ilusión de la banda imagination la mejor versión extendida es toda una joya brillante

0ne of my most fav songs ever!! Was also used as outro music closing scene from FX the movie after they got the money in Geneva!

LOVE IT!!!!!LOVE IT!!!

love it better days! :-)

Being recognized as second class, is just an illusion👑🏆❤

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

this classic takes me away every time I hear it!

Ha I remember back n the day when this song was out and VOGUE N JUST STARTED. this white boy tore up the floor ..yes I did .goodtimes🙋🙌💓🍺👏👏

Soy militar y científico , pero que lindo cantaron , ustedes si fueron cantantes

Smooth and easy listening too, great memories to this song was at the end of the movie FX , cool movie.

This track is perfect for TODAYS POLITICAL ILLUSIONS IN AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLDWIDE CONFUSIONS . ( This track is most definitely ahead of its time , IN THE GREATS OF MANY 80's TRACKS that are now foretelling our persent tommorrows )

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!!!

this song goes out to all ''enjoy the moment''

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!!

Still Mixing this today ime 58 classic imagination ❤❤❤right banger

This song came out when I was in High School and use in my high School Fashion show. Great song.

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..

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'!

la mejor música no la mierda q hay ahora

This song makes me blast it loud and dance like I am crazy!

this song came out the same year i was born i love the 80's and miss the 80's.

When music was written with heart and soul and not just about making money. One of the best tracks of all time.

Soooooooooo gooood! Always in my playlist

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

one of the best

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

The Best.

Rite on Nora. A stroll down memory highway... : )

I Was in my prime with spinning back than. Great times.....

i dont agree with they image but this song iz timeless & arguably one of the greatest classics ever made !

Best Vinyl in Disco that time....

This remix is very good

Surprisingly deeply philosophical.

The best!

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. 🎉😊

Me lleva a mi infancia y el descubrimiento de la música, el primer walkman.....las vueltas por el barrio...

Esta cancion estaba en mi subconciente. Que padre descubrir que si existe. No era solo una ilusion... !!!

what a great tune...one of the great tunes of all time....the time lingers...thank you for posting.

Best version...

Awesome, taking me back in the day!

This is my favorite remix, I like dance to in my personal basement.*
