While we in America complain about gas or food prices ,what we thought would never happen again is happening. We pray for Serge and those who have not touched us in Ukraine.

    As a musician, I have a very high standard for people doing covers of classic songs from the past. But I must say, this cover version was so good and so extraordinary, I had to turn it up, listen to it twice, and ignore my cup of coffee (temporarily - LoL!). This is truly the best cover version of any song by anybody I have ever heard - hands down! The nuance, counterpoints, signature key changes, musicianship, lead and backup vocals, etc., are all spot on!
    I am truly blown away, and as someone else said below, Maurice White(RIP) must be smiling from above on Leonid & Friends!! Stunning! Just stunning!
    I will now do a deep dive into Loenid & Friends, to hear more about their story and other covers they have done.
    Thank you so much, and enjoy!
    Cheers, Sam.

      Yes, David Foster has always said this is the best song he ever wrote, because of all the musical qualities you mention. When he got together with Jay Graydon and Bill Champlin, (who of course played with Chicago for many years) magic was made. With Champlin's and Graydons' lyrics and Foster's music it was bound to be stellar. Ironically Maurice White had nothing to do with this song creatively and yet it was one of EW&F's biggest hits, and remains so to this day.

      Trying to get my head around Russian musicians playing classic American songs from the 70s so superbly, faithfully - and improved to boot, given modern digital recording capability - as they ALWAYS nail the American English vocals. It's uncanny. It's beguiling.
      This Steely Dan song and the Superstar Carpenters cover where Ksenia Buzina has a voice that is right there comparable to Karen Carpenter, are my two favorite - because of the excellence of the vocals in addition to the excellence of the arrangement and of the instruments playing. Their vocals are always spot on in the songs they cover, but these are my two favs.

      You should hear Ksenia's version of "Superstar." Karen Carpenter would have been very proud. I heard that Ksenia and Richard Carpenter know each other and that he liked her version of the song. I lost my wife Beth a year ago this past June, and when I hear Ksenia sing "Superstar," I absolutely go to pieces. It makes me realize that we who have lost someone very special how lucky we were to have them and still have them (In a different form from when we knew them) in our lives.
      Ksenia seems like she is a very nice person as well as a very talented performer. If there is a man in her life, I hope he realizes how blessed he is to have her and cherishes what he has in her.

      @@SirChandlerSeattle Leonid thought he was going to do this one studio-produced tribute to Chicago and then move on. But a video of that went viral and fans started asking for more. And he said the musicians really enjoyed doing it and wanted to do more. So they did. Chicago material works great for the breadth of musicians and instrumentation that can be brought to bear in his stellar arrangements. But they've been branching out to other materiel - Steely Dan, Carpenters, Earth, Wind, and Fire. Notice these groups all put out their greatest material in the decade of the 70s. A kind of golden age for such music.
      Basically he says the demand from the ever growing fan base keeps prodding him on to reverse engineer arrangements for yet more songs. He'd not like having to disappoint so many people if they just cut it all off now.
      And they do tours and touring is not exactly the easiest life style, it has a grueling side to it. It's a pluses and minuses situation, but they say they enjoy the more direct connection with fans. And when they hear feed back after a tour, there are folks that missed out and want to see them and so they start thinking of organizing another tour...
      IOW, it's a project that ballooned into taking on a life of its own.
      But I would say another angle to all of this is how it just simply brings people and cultures together and unifies them around a common love of cherished artistic endeavor.
