Their sound engineer deserves the highest professional award for these mixes. Phenomenal results!

[willisjack]

These Russians have exceeded the original version. God bless them in even choosing our American versions to do over. God bless all of you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Maurice White is smiling from Heaven, hearing this band! Total class, chops and talent. WOW!

It’s sad to think that the new generation is missing this sort of music. I’m 64 this year and always listen to the top 100 of every year. Nothing compares to the late 70’s/80’s, bands like SOS and Shakatak just a awesome time to live in.

Gold... Just Gold... If people could start making music like this again they would take over the world with music....

[BobDoherty]

Such a refreshing throw back to when musicians actually played their instruments... and were musicians.

By the way, everybody seems to overlook how GREAT Leonid is on bass. The guys GET'S it done!

[stephenperjanik]

So glad to finally discover these great musicians. Found out about them yesterday and have been playing their music ever since. Chicago and now Earth, Wind and Fire being played to perfection is simply wonderful to see and hear. I’ve been feeling rather negative about Russia for a few years and it’s great to be reminded of our common humanity and how wonderful people exist everywhere and bring joy to so many. Thank you Leonid and Friends. Your music is wonderful and I love it.

You guys are fantastic musicians! You have soul!

I CANNOT stop watching & listening to this group! Since I ‘discovered’ them, here on YouTube, 2 weeks ago I’ve played their entire catalog over & over (& over ...). As both a vocalist & horn player growing up in the ‘60s & ‘70’s in America I was obsessed with the great horn bands like Chicago; Blood Sweat & Tears; Earth, Wind & Fire, et. al.. I marvel at the exquisite musicianship displayed by all of these immensely talented people and only wish I could could ‘sit in’ with them!

Leonid’s ability to cipher these tracks - BY EAR - is reminiscent of the scene in ‘Amadeus’ (movie about Mozart) where Mozart hears Salieri’s march played once by the Emperor Joseph II ... which leads to Mozart sitting down and playing it and then running many variations off with ease.

Okay, back to the present from my obscure movie reference ... Leonid & Friends musicianship, obvious passion and enjoyment of playing keystone music from my youth has brought tremendous joy to me in what has been (like so many I suspect) one of the most difficult years of my 60 year-old life! (2020)

I am a disabled Veteran living in chronic pain and fatigue from Parkinson’s disease. My medical providers encouraged me to return to my musical & artistic youthful endeavors for ‘Neuroplasticity’ ... and it’s been one of the most effective means of pushing back on chronic pain and keeps me from falling into the twin abyss of dopamine deficiency induced Anxiety & Depression.

I, however, hit a very rough spot, 3 months ago and stopped painting and playing my music. That is ...

UNTIL I heard Leonid & Friend’s opening riffs of Chicago’s “Make Me Smile”. ... which, in a profound way they did!

Thank you so very much to all of you in Leonid & Friends for returning music, joy and hope back into my life!

Man I miss Sergey in all the new videos. Great singer and awesome guitarist.

[crashlight]

My dad and his wife walked out to this song at their wedding, great job guys. This version will have a special place in our hearts

[andreawaterstreet]

Leonid & Friends. Doing Earth Wind & Fire. Doing the Beatles.

Utter perfection!

[ThePaulfullTruth]

I have watched about four of these videos. Incredible. Like a breathe of fresh air. Everything, but everything in these performances deserves the highest praise. The choreography concept of actually seeing the performers is riveting, the editing, camera work, the vocals, the instrumentation and rendition of guitar, drums, everything. The video is as important as the audio. There is real energy and joy of the music portrayed. What a slap in the face of corporate crap music.

[Mikes-teenager]

Superb cover version with one of the most beautiful vocalists in the world.

[JacQuie]

Leonid and Friends you never cease to amaze us !!! So much love to you from the USA ❤️

[cdjblue]

A year later and I am still mesmerized by this band. Amazing that music connects and African American woman who lives in Chicago with these wonderful musicians from Russia and the Ukraine!!!!

[detlefstahn]

Die Freude der Musicker einfach herrlich

[keysersoze]

What a shame there are no horns in modern music today. I love how even though you switch up the brass players from time to time, you always manage to keep the section strong & vibrant! Great job...
