Huge fan of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. ❤️🙏🏽 Her voice is so crisp, clear and her gentle soulful sound made my heart sing. The entire ensemble was fantastic. I loved this version of one of my all time favorite songs. Great performance!
What an absolute killer arrangement, Leonid. Ksenia is the best woman vocalist in the world in my opinion. She has that "it" factor with beauty, grace, sound, and knows how to deliver a song. This song and "Superstar" have to be the best covers of all. Take care and stay safe.
I beg anyone who is in a bad or sour mood to listen to "Leonid and friends" and not get a big wonderful smile on their face. There is magic in this world and I have been listening to it for quite a while. aaaaaaaaai love all your songs
My wife and I drove down from Canada to see the Pittsburgh show on Tuesday. The entire experience was fantastic. We highly recommend seeing Leonid & Friends. We will certainly see them again.
If you look up the words Highly Talented in the dictionary, you will see a picture of this group. They are so fabulous that it is absolutely amazing. Wow, oh, Wow. Thank you so much.
@@janicemartin2016 Of course Dioinne Warwick. No One is racially excluding her MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE becxause Bacharach speciffically wrote this sone for HER! Dionne Warwick is the OG of "I Say A Little Prayer"
Simply stunning!!! The perfection that is Ksenia! Bravo to the whole band on such a beautiful classic love song. Burt Bacharach and Hal David are smiling on you.
I just rolled out of bed, washed my face, got some coffee, opened my laptop, put on my headphones, and clicked on this video. Holy cow, what a wonderful way to wake up! Thank you all. I've seen you live twice and can't wait till you get to FL again!
We just saw L&F last night (9/27/24) in Carmel, IN, our first time seeing them live. I’ve been watching them on YT for several years and always marveled at the “as good as Chicago” music and vocals they create (by the way, I’m taking nothing away from Chicago, my all-time favorite band.) Love these videos. However, seeing and hearing them live, and in particular this new song, was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. This band recreates the high-level sounds exceptionally well on the stage, with crystal clear music purity and homage to the original tracks, frankly something many bands don’t. We were blown away by the nearly hour and forty-five minute performance, and wished it was longer. They were THAT GOOD. And they all look like they’re having a blast on stage. If this band performs near you, it’s a MUST that you get out and see them. They have my highest musical recommendation for delivering premium quality, highly-listenable live music to the world. We’re definitely going back to see them again the next time they’re near here, which I hope is not too far away. Peace.
This group of musicians never fails to impress me.. don’t have a clue how they are able to do what they do or so clearly sing in English. But it’s nothing short of amazing
I beg anyone who is in a bad or sour mood to listen to "Leonid and friends" and not get a big wonderful smile on their face. There is magic in this world and I have been listening to it for quite a while.
Ksenia has performed amazingly on everything she sings, however this particular song unleashes her talent like no other. Her range and control are spectacular and the band and arrangement are world-class. Hearing this performed "live" is truly stunning. Don't miss any opportunity to see this group in concert!
Ksenia is the sweetest, most humble woman you will ever meet as well. If you get the chance to attend a meet and greet with the group, by all means do so. Such a great way to support the band, and worth every penny. Ksenia speaks great English (and several other languages as well!), and is ever so nice. Several others speak well also, including Leonid, Oleg, and Roman (the band’s manager and Leonid’s son). But you may need to get one of them to translate for most of the others, or be creative with hand signals. All are so happy to try!
..Oh my God, real instruments, real singers, it's so wonderful. I have goosebumps, in Germany we say "Gänsehaut". No AI, no DJ mix and old songs copied and put through the mixer. Real music.Divine, Kisses to everyone!!
WoW! The arrangement was impeccable, beyond reproach. They took a classic and put the L&F magic to work. Ksenias' interpretation and delivery was a masterclass. She captured much of Dionnes' tone, yet made it her own. Gorgeous backing vocals sit perfect in the mix. Huge credit to whomever produced and mixed this. Another 5 star to the guys & gals from Russia. You all so deserve your success and any rewards that come your way!!
Oh my!!!! As always, I am speechless! Always covering all the nuances of the original, while adding their own flair. Another homerun for Ksenia and the entire band. Just wonderful.
I’m getting chill bumps while listening to Ksenia’s absolutely breathtaking cover of this DW classic! It just doesn’t get any better than this! And to experience her performance, live in concert this past week, was truly like receiving a gift from God! 🎤 🎼 👏 🎉 🔥
Another masterpiece brought back to life by L&F, a standing ovation! It was a special treat to hear Ksenia's amazing lead vocals, thank you L&F. Ksenia, you are the absolute best...
Well this is a spicy rendition. It shows another versatile side of her personality and voice. Happy birthday lovely Ksenia, you rocked it yet again!!!!!!!
From the time the video was posted to the time of writing this comment, I have watched this video at least 20 times. It is absolutely wonderful, the arrangements, the interpretation and orchestration and, of course, the beauty of the performer cannot go unnoticed. Congratulations and thank you for bringing these beautiful songs back to life.
Simply superb. The arrangement, Ksenia's vocal, the gospel sound of the back up singers and the full orchestral sound; it's all just magic. And it's so fresh you could release this as a single and it would go straight to the top of the charts. Bravo L&F!
Although I have been a huge fan since your very first video came out, I almost didn't click on this one. All I can say is wow, wow, wow... Nobody makes music like this anymore -- just singers who can sing, players who can play, and arrangers who can arrange. And as always, Igor was a total boss on the drums.
Excelente, lindo e maravilhoso. Adoro, Amo de paixão essa vocalista. ❤ Além de ter uma voz incrível, cantar maravilhosamente bem é muito linda!!! Parabéns a todos da banda, desejo mais e mais sucesso. Saudações do Brasil.
I love her beautiful voice. The band, orchestra is the background vocalists are all Great!!!❤️❤️❤️ I’m a diehard Dionne Warwick and Aretha fan. Lady, you did Aretha proud! Bless you. Wow 🤩
Just amazing- what an arrangement. It’s a pity Burt Bacharach wasn’t alive to hear this. He would have been blown away. Can’t wait to see you guys in November
@@alanreynolds4944 You know if you hit the three little dots at the right of your comment, you can go back in and correct the original rather than posting a seperate correction.
The joy you express in every performance is truly infectious. I come away daily feeling better after your music. Truly a gift I believe from a God who loves us.
Geez. I have been listening to this song ever since the Dionne Warwick and Aretha versions came out. I have listened to this version at least ten times, and have been brought to tears every single time. At first, it was new and different, and great in the way that every Leonid and Friends reworking is always great. But, after accommodating myself to it fully, to a level I have accommodated myself to the original, obviously great, versions, this is going to be my favorite version of this song going forward, as strange as that is for me to say. Every added touch to the arrangement just hits and seems perfect. Ksenia’s commitment to the song and emotional attachment to it, and performance, just hits. This is beautiful. Thanks, guys, for everything you do. Props from America.
Wow!! What an amazing treatment of an amazing song. Kudos to Leonid for transcribing and arranging this masterpiece. Ksenia is, as always, exceptional. So glad to hear her show her vocal talents like this.

Great Russian & Ukrainian friends! Is a Blu Ray of concert planned?
The backing track is loud.
Kensia was already a talented singer and now she just keeps getting better and better!! Love the soulful voice that is blossoming.
Very nicely done...burt bacharach/ hal David..one of the greatest songwriters of the last 60 urars
Huge fan of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. ❤️🙏🏽 Her voice is so crisp, clear and her gentle soulful sound made my heart sing. The entire ensemble was fantastic. I loved this version of one of my all time favorite songs. Great performance!
Most amazing band in today's music world. Please guys, release a CD of all of your orchestrated songs. The whole world needs to hear you.

@@markrobinson3830 If you go to their website, they have at least three for sale...
@@markrobinson3830 cd or VINYL ... whatever
They are tremendous
Make several CO'S of all your music.
What an absolute killer arrangement, Leonid. Ksenia is the best woman vocalist in the world in my opinion. She has that "it" factor with beauty, grace, sound, and knows how to deliver a song. This song and "Superstar" have to be the best covers of all. Take care and stay safe.
The day is good when Leonid and Friends does another upload. Unbelievable again
Yes, you are right. ( ja, das stimmt genau ) And Ksenia ist the star. She is amazing. I am from Germany and would be happy to see them live here:
So true, really amazing
I beg anyone who is in a bad or sour mood to listen to "Leonid and friends" and not get a big wonderful smile on their face. There is magic in this world and I have been listening to it for quite a while. aaaaaaaaai love all your songs
Accepted. I hear this and think of Dionne singing it better...
I agree 1,000,000,000%!!!
Lifted my 73 year old heart, thank you for a perfect rendition of an old favorite from the boomer generation.
I am so glad to hear that because these days most men want something else lifted....
Right back at ya!
Outta this world!. Get this cover nominated for a GRAMMY!!
My wife and I drove down from Canada to see the Pittsburgh show on Tuesday. The entire experience was fantastic. We highly recommend seeing Leonid & Friends. We will certainly see them again.
I wanted to go, but I just did Jeff Lynne's ELO a couple weeks earlier, budget you know.
I'm jealous -
Great!!!
I swear that this band and her voice in this song........pure talent at the peak of the mountain!
Wow! Ksenia, so wonderful! Lovely arrangement! ❤
If you look up the words Highly Talented in the dictionary, you will see a picture of this group. They are so fabulous that it is absolutely amazing. Wow, oh, Wow. Thank you so much.
Bacharach and David are smiling!!!! Master class performance!!!
So is Dione Warwick
Yes, yes they are.... I do believe Aretha is too.
@@janicemartin2016 Of course Dioinne Warwick.

Are you kidding me?!? This is beyond fantastic! I’ve got chills listening to this!
Ksenia's voice is the best! Leonid and friends can literally cover ANY song! They are THAT great!
The hear my old favorite songs performed by this fantastic band and her amazing voice is soooo great. I love it !!
I once believed that no one could perform the Earth, Wind & Fire sound until I listened to L&F. They were note perfect!
I've heard that song a million times but never heard it like that. WOW!
Simply stunning!!! The perfection that is Ksenia! Bravo to the whole band on such a beautiful classic love song. Burt Bacharach and Hal David are smiling on you.
I wonder what Dionne Warick thinks. I'm sure she would like it.
Ksenia you knocked it out of the park! One of my favorites songs and you brought it to life. ❤
Absolutely superb performance by all singers and musicians 💖💖💖👏👏👏
Yes indeed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the greatest bands ever. That drummer!, that guitar player!, the singers! Everyone is fantastic. And Leonid is a world class bass player.
Before I read anyone else’s comments all I can say about Ksenia’s performance and the entire band’s is simply these TWO words … “WORLD CLASS!!!” 🤩🤩
I just rolled out of bed, washed my face, got some coffee, opened my laptop, put on my headphones, and clicked on this video. Holy cow, what a wonderful way to wake up! Thank you all. I've seen you live twice and can't wait till you get to FL again!

Same here…saw first time live in Carmel! Enjoyed so much. Love Ksenia’s voice!
that is a great endorsement.
Absolutely can't wait to see them in November!!! BEYOND FABULOUS!!!!!
Saw them in Roanoke VA in May, fabulous
Totally agree!! Please come back to Bremerton/Seattle
This group of musicians never fails to impress me.. don’t have a clue how they are able to do what they do or so clearly sing in English. But it’s nothing short of amazing

Didn't see this one coming, that's for sure. Awesome job, as always!
No! But SO AWESOME! Another one hit out of the park Ksenya!
She's crushing it!!!🎉
Yep it’s beautiful ❤❤❤
The final product Dionne wished she could have put out back in the day...
@@robarnt6Great cover for Ksenia, but no need to crap on Dionne
I was left speechless by such beauty of interpretation. My God, this version they made is wonderful.
Ksenia is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!! Incredible vocals and just lights up the room!!

Ksenia...an amazing singing talent...and the most beautiful woman that I have honestly ever seen.
FACT
Ksenia is the sweetest, most humble woman you will ever meet as well. If you get the chance to attend a meet and greet with the group, by all means do so. Such a great way to support the band, and worth every penny. Ksenia speaks great English (and several other languages as well!), and is ever so nice.

But you may need to get one of them to translate for most of the others, or be creative with hand signals. All are so happy to try!
YES YES YES
Comes close to my wife and daughters, for sure❤🎉! But yes, she's like Miss Universe!
Her voice is that of an angel, a beacon of hope in the world.
Im totally blown away by this arrangement and performance. Huge Bacharach fan, and of Ksenia too! Wow. Just wow.
..Oh my God, real instruments, real singers, it's so wonderful. I have goosebumps, in Germany we say "Gänsehaut". No AI, no DJ mix and old songs copied and put through the mixer. Real music.Divine, Kisses to everyone!!

I hope they cover more of Dionne's songs.
They all make it look so effortless. Another amazing rendition!
Oh my God. Ksenia absolutely killed this classic. So nice to see and hear Irina and Angelina again. The arrangement was superb.
10 out of 10.
This is amazing. The musicians, the vocalist and the post production screen splits. I love all of it!!!!
What an awesome job on this classic!! Ksenia is outstanding and the band, as always, is right in the pocket!! FANTASTIC!!

Lots of talent there. The arranging, the band, the orchestra, the singing, and in this case Ksenia showcasing she is a top level singer!
L and F played this in Pittsburgh last Monday night. Incredible job on a great DW song!
Something special when this much talent finds each other and collobarates on vocals and musical arrangements to create such beautiful songs.
