"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a classic 1971 R&B/soul song recorded by American soul group The Temptations. Released on the Gordy (Motown) label, and produced by Norman Whitfield, it is featured on the group's 1971 album, Sky's the Limit. When released as a single, "Just My Imagination" became the third Temptations song to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The single held the number one position on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for two weeks in 1971.
"Just My Imagination" also held the number one spot on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for three weeks, from February 27 to March 20 of that year.
Today, "Just My Imagination" is considered one of the Temptations' signature songs and is notable for recalling the sound of the group's 1960s recordings.
It is also the final Temptations single to feature founding members, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams.
During the process of recording and releasing the single, Kendricks left the group to begin a solo career, while the ailing Williams was forced to retire from the act for health reasons. - Wikipedia
