Richard (France): The first Imagination LP is the coolest and the most spontaneous of their albums.There is a kind of innocence in each song. Also, it is the musicaliest album with lots of solo keyboards (in 'Body Talk', 'Burning Up'...). It's also the first time that we discovered the fabulous Leee's voice especially on 'I'll always love you (but don't look back)'. All the melodies are very crystal clear. It's one of my Imagination's favorite LP.

Troy-D (USA): Just like for the rest of the world; 'Body Talk' was the first product from Imagination here in the U.S. . I felt it to be a decent first project to get us familiar with their styles of R&B and Funk. But it was only a taste of the potential that the group (and the producers) had for the future. The songs 'Body Talk' and 'In and out of love' are very similiar with their dreamy-mellow grooves. Which work well but are a little too repetitious. 'In and out of love' is my prefered of the two for the nice flowing vibraphone/piano solos. The three songs that stand out as very impressive were 'Burnin' up' (which on it's own, paved the way for many of the NY club-style dance songs heavily dominated with infectious piano grooves.); ' Tell me do you want my love' (this showed their ability to compete in the commercial-pop market that was so prominent at the time); And 'I'll always love...' (which showcased Leee's singing ability, along with their ballad writing strength) The song 'So good,so right' was nothing special for me, but it did help establish the trademark sound for Imagination. It was definately an album that kept me interested for what was to come.
