. Imagine is the ONLY Beatles Tribute Band that performed personally for Tom Hanks and Goldie Hawn at their occasions, not any other Beatles tribute band, no matter even if other Beatles tribute bands representatives tells you so. Goldie Hawn's party for Kurt Russell, Tom and Rita Hank's party, AND a private party for Mr. Irwin Winkler, (producer of most of the Rocky movies fame), were ALL booked as the name IMAGINE THE BEATLES TRIBUTE, and not any other Beatles Tribute band's name. The people that represent these other bands at this point in time, believe "that if they were a particular performer of those shows at those times, that they can now add that as part of THEIR CREDITS and as being THEIR BANDS NAME that played these shows on THEIR WEBSITES. THIS IS NOT SO, and NOT THE TRUTH. The band that was booked, and still is called IMAGINE THE BEATLES TRIBUTE, and not********** ,or any other Beatles tribute bands name, based not only in California, but anywhere), WAS INDEED and still is, IMAGINE THE BEATLES TRIBUTE. Our greatest thrill was when Tom Hanks went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and said Imagine played at his and Rita's Wedding Anniversary Party. Last updated: 3/12/09.

What People Are Saying About Imagine
We can't forget when we did a private party in Hollywood
last year, and who should walk in but John Tesh. We got to talking to him
and he said to us "I thought I was hearing the original record when I
approached the room, you guys are very good musicians and singers"
Then there was the 50th anniversary party that we played for the late Marvin Davis and his lovely wife Barbara. There were about 400 people there and not One of them were unrecognizable. Sylvester Stallone came over to us, and in that Rocky tone of voice said, " you guys are great!'

IMAGINE
had the great
privilege of doing a show for
Kurt Russell's
50th birthday party organized by
Ms. Goldie Hawn
herself, at
their home. " I must say that I was shocked to hear Goldie's voice
on my answer machine asking if
IMAGINE could perform at the
event" I responded with a
resounding YES,
we'll be there". I have
since saved the phone call from Goldie on..... the machine itself, my
computer, cassette tape, vhs, beta,
reel to reel, and 8 track tape. The 8 track tape was going a little
too far but non the less, all of this is
true
(except for the 8 track recording,
beta, & reel to reel), and
everyone there had a great time.
Some guests included,
Martin Short,
Jim Carry, Rita Wilson
(Tom Hanks must have been working at the time),
and so many more , you couldn't
remember them
all.
One of
IMAGINE'S
greatest all time moments, was when we performed for the late
Marvin Davis
and his lovely wife
Barbara.
It was a star
studded event. Our agent told us
that "anybody who was anybody in Hollywood would be there" and it surely looked
like all of them
showed up. Aside from
guests like Jay
Leno, Sylvester Stallone,
(who came over to us and
said in that Rocky type of voice
of his
"you guys are
great!", the guests
ranged from people like
Coolio, ex Mayor of
L.A. Richard
Reardon, Larry King,
Katharine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, Penny Marshall, Wolfgang Puck,
(who catered the celebration),
Dustin Hoffman, Robert Deniro,
and many
others, and for the most par, very
well know. There were about 400 guests invited, and it sure looked like they
were all there. We got to
perform on the same stage with
Little Richard, (
whom we shared our dressing room with, for the second time),
Pat Boone, Natalie Cole,
Kenny Logins, The
Fifth Dimension, Stevie Wonder, Coolio, Barry Manilow,
with all thanks due to one
the worlds biggest and best known record producers,
Mr. David Foster.
The evening
was hosted by
Larry King,
(on one of his video taped
shows, featuring both
Marvin and Barbara Davis),
and shown on two HUGE screens on
either side of the main stage. The show was broken up into segments
of eras from music
ranging from the 50's-the 90's, so
when ever
Larry
would mention that particular era,
and go to a commercial, the video would stop, and a
performer or performers would come
up and do one of their biggest hit songs representing that particular time
period. It was very well
produced by David Foster
and A Night To Remember.
It also was probably the first time
within
35-40 years that
Little
Richard and Pat Boone performed at
the same venue in the same show. Please note, in addition to Los Angeles, IMAGINE
also
serves the surrounding towns of Alhambra, Bell
Gardens, Glendale, Huntington Park, Maywood, Monterey Park, Bell, Hollywood,
