One of the most well crafted songs ever written for film, and it was written with Gene Wilder in mind for the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

At 69, I have little left to surprise me in a positive way. But the first time I saw this video, when the stage curtain opened, I was 5 years old again. My heart was touched. The world was again a beautiful place, and I was overwhelmed by its possibilities. My deepest gratitude is offered to Josh, the musicians, the author, and the director of this stunning video. ♥️♥️♥️

Yes he would have. You know that gene was unsure if he could sing well enough for the film. Such humility.

I can’t imagine this song sounding better than hearing Josh Groban singing it. It’s astounding.

Josh Groban has SUCH an INCREDIBLE voice!! It matches this ABSOLUTELY Gorgeous song PERFECTLY, too!!

Look at this smooth man with his amazing voice and clean delivery. Josh is truly a gift to music. ❤

First saw Josh Groban on Classical FM. I said then and it still stands today that he has the voice of an angel. Only singer who can move me to tears with such beautiful singing. This is one of my favourite songs that he sings

I never though I'd enjoy anyone but Gene singing this song. Well done Josh.

I cried hearing this, pure imagination

The front row ladies can barely contain themselves from rushing the stage and carrying him off. Nice nice voice. I love this song.

Josh is one singer who can make me cry out of nowhere. His gift touches something in me.

I grow up hearing Josh Groban singing since childhood.

Dude goes up stairs singing flawlessly. Consentually stimulates every ear in the audience. This guy is magic.

Happy Birthday Mr. Big 40!

Wrong song for him still a great song

What a beautifully staged entrance!!!! True text painting come to life. Bravo!

I kinda felt emotional

I absolutely LOVE this ❤ Thank you Josh 🙏

His tonal quality is the best I've heard. While some of the TV contests seem to key on high notes, I key on quality of notes, and his is pure perfection.

So beautiful and flawless, while climbing stairs. Now you’re just showing off, Josh. And we’re loving every minute 😉🤩

The atmosphere is like Christmas carols and Disney. It's a warm and luxurious voice.

Magical and timeless. Generation will enjoy this song. Thank you, Josh, for this magnificent rendition.

When I saw this vid, I knew immediately Josh’s voice was gonna be perfect for this song and it is it truely is.

I wish it never ended. I get moved to tears by this flawless magical performance.

This video brings me to tears every time I see it. So moving!

I absolutely love this song and I loved Tony Newley. I'm sure he would have adored Josh's interpretation, so different from his own and just as beautiful.

GOD has truly gave him a Heavenly voice for the whole world to hear. He is very handsome with a beautiful voice like that no money can buy.

This mans voice is magical. My childhood felt so magical because of him

absolutely beautiful, but there is just something special about the rawness of Gene Wilder and his sad yet romanticized hope for the future

My favorite song ever

IMAGINATION.......WELL.......THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR...🖍

0:48 It says Pure Imagination is from "Charlie" and the Chocolate Factory which is indeed the name of the novel and the newer movie, but the older movie that this song comes from is technically "Willy Wonka" and the Chocolate Factory.

This whole concert is my first and only Regal movie theater musical experience. I cried almost every song. What a concert! ‼️❕❤❕‼️

I will always love this song…I like finding different renditions of it

Gene wilder would’ve been very proud if he hears it from heaven.

❤‍🔥 who could not love this voice so smooth! Some girl in church told her mother I sounded like Josh Groban. When the lady told me I said "you better have her ears checked."

this one over the original any day

So beautiful!!! I miss you Sis!!! Continue to rest in power!!! 🥲🥲🥲

...the VOICE

Josh sings ‘Imagination’ very well

WOW.....WOW...WOW.....FANTASTIC VOICE , SONG - MUSIC THANK YOU JOSH GORBAN.....THANK YOU.....

He sings his own stuff so different ! He has an 🤩 amazing voice ~ but I love all his stuff / music

I can't breathe

Beautiful rendition. Tony Newley would approve

We saw Josh, with his amazing musical director Tariqh Akoni on guitar, at the Santa Barbara Bowl a few years ago. Best concert ever, best pop singer on the planet!

When my kids watched the movie for the first time they loved it asked where the factory was!!!

I had a crush on Josh Groban

Imagination is the fuel of creativity. It is a beautiful gift. But one must always keep awareness of what is reality and what is a dream. It is called balance in your soul.

Your voice takes us there every time you sing, Josh and never falters. That's way l love to hear your voice every day you take us to a beautiful world in our imagination that makes us feel amazing dear xx

His voice is everything.
