A special edition of 'RHYTHM & NEWS' on Crackers Radio with special guest LEEE JOHN of IMAGINATION, one of the most successful soul bands in the UK. The singer and musician (seen by many as "one of the hardest working men in showbusiness") and his group first tasted success bringing their distinctive, sultry soulful flavour to the masses in the early 80's and he has not stopped making music and performing ever since! In recent times Leee has taken stock of the dire situation happening in many cities worldwide, namely youth crime and the senseless killings and violence associated with it and decided to make his own contribution towards the solution to this social madness, putting together an anti youth crime campaign. To spearhead this venture he released his own version of the 1976 reggae classic 'Police & Thieves' (originally recorded by Junior Murvin), and even went as far as enlisting the Godfather of UK Reggae, Dennis Bovell to produce the recording.
Leee came into the studio to discuss the campaign, but as anyone who knows this gentleman can tell you, he can be quite a character and extremely entertaining, so you can rest assured the tone of the interview included many moments of mayhem and merriment.
