The first album cut by Gladys Knight & the Pips for Buddah Records was a watershed in their history. Co-produced by the group and Tony Camillo, Imagination embodied all of what Gladys Knight & the Pips had learned in their previous six years at Motown, watching the way their records were made, combined with the maturity of the sound that they'd achieved in that time, and virtually complete freedom to choose their repertory - a factor that they were mature. The result was four hit songs, including the chart-topping "Midnight Train to Georgia" (originally written as "Midnight Plane to Houston") and one of the biggest selling albums in their history - Imagination was sophisticated soul at its best, Knight belting out numbers with great forcefulness and passion while the group provided delicate backup.

A pivotal album for Gladys Knight & The Pips – as the record features their super-huge hit The Midnight Train To Georgia, a landmark track that not only had a catchy pop hook, but which spoke volumes about African-American migration in the postwar years. The track’s one of those you’ve heard a million times, but it’s got a strength that still holds up tremendously. Co-produced by the group and Tony Camillo, Imagination embodied all of what Gladys Knight & the Pips had learned in their previous six years at Motown, watching the way their records were made, combined with the maturity of the sound that they’d achieved in that time, and virtually complete freedom to choose their repertory - a factor that they were mature and sophisticated. The album, the group's first for Buddah after leaving Motown, includes their first and only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit "Midnight Train to Georgia", which also reached number-one on the R&B singles chart

Imagination was Gladys Knight & The Pips’ first album for Buddah Records after an eight-year spell at Motown’s Soul subsidiary. At Motown, the familial vocal act had been frequently overlooked in favour of other, more stellar acts on the Detroit label’s roster. With everything to prove, the group made an album of irresistible southern soul.
