In the week following Wilder's death in 2016, the song rose in streams and sales by more than 1000%. Although the original song never charted, some cover versions have done so.

It wasn't until the movie began appearing on television reruns in the 1980s that the film and "Pure Imagination" become more well known. The film itself wasn't a blockbuster and other songs from the soundtrack performed better. The original song was not popular when it was first released. Since its release, the song has been covered and remixed hundreds of times by a wide variety of artists. Bricusse has stated that the song was written over the phone in one day. It was sung by Gene Wilder who played the character of Willy Wonka. It was written by British composers Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley specifically for the movie. " Pure Imagination" is a song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It's just hard to discern that for certain in this guise.1971 song by Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka "Pure Imagination" Krayzie tries to keep it interesting by varying the flow, never putting too many similar tracks next to each other, but who the hell can make it through 38 tracks of this without a breather, even if some cuts are skits? It may be a cliche to say that this double-record would have been much more potent if it was trimmed to a single disc, but that doesn't make it less true, especially since there are enough songs to make a very good record, possibly one of the best things Krayzie has been involved with. Even though there is more depth than there was on The Art of War, there's a whole lot of filler cluttering these two discs, including several tracks that feel as if they're designed to launch developing artists. A lot more of it: 38 tracks, to be precise. In fact, other than the occasional cut that veers toward urban territory, there isn't a whole lot to differentiate this from the average Bone release - there's just more of it.

Some of these cuts are positively smoove, which stands in direct contrast to the gangstafied lyrics, but that's always been a part of the Bone trademark. Freed from the group setting but not necessarily the members - who fill some of the obligatory guest slots, along with Bone family members such as Relay - Krayzie doesn't hesitate to accentuate the already smooth surfaces of his music. Nowhere was that more true than Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's overwrought third album, The Art of War and, unfortunately, that same sense of hubris characterizes Thug Mentality 1999, the ridiculously inflated debut solo album from Krayzie Bone. Theoretically, an epic hip-hop album could be compelling, but almost of all of the sweepstake entries are tedious, serving to diminish the artist's music instead of enhancing it.
