    I have a lump in my throat listening to Leonid and Friends nail this Tower of Power song. When I see how the strings, horn section keyboard and back up singers perform with such joy, it makes me emotional. The young lead singer gets it. He has so much soul in his voice. This performance is such a tribute to the original.

      Funny how these songs can make a lot of us emotional. I'm the same way. Just amazing hearing these songs redone.

    Given the stunning performance of Leonid and Friends, it is easy to overlook one of the most beautiful sights in the video. Pay close attention to one of the lady violin players. She has a break from playing during the song..........she has her headphones on, and is just GROOVIN to the song as she listens to it being played, just like millions of others have over the 55 years they have been together. That is just Wonderful!

      Same here. Just saw them a couple weeks ago in LA. Only a few blocks away from the Wiltern theater where I saw Tower of Power years ago. And earth, wind and fire in their heyday at the forum just a few miles farther. These guys and Ksenia are outstanding musicians!

      Saw them last year (2023) April 20 at the Plaza Live in Orlando. After being addicted to their TH-cam videos, I was blown away by their live performance. In addition, they are very entertaining, especially the sax player! I have front row seats for this years' tour, April 17, in the Savannah Center, in The Villages, Florida.

    Jeff, how many different songs can one band cover and leave me speechlees and wondering if i was dreaming.. That song has been one of my top 5 favorites from the first time i heard it back in the 70's.
    What a brillant version this is.
    This man's voice is so unique.
    I never thought anyone would sing this as good as Lenny Williams until now.
    Everyone is this group pays attention to detail down the the smallest adlib and I think that is a huge part of what separates this band from the others.

    As you said in another review, the changes in technology makes most of Leonid and Friends covers better than the original. Michael Puntov, the lead vocal won a vocal competition when he was about 9, so he's a very talented artist. The way Leonid deconstructs and reorchestrates a song that he hears is simply genius.

      In The Villages, they play 2 shows in their "mid-level" venue. Although they could do 1 show in The Villages largest venue, they would lose the contact with the audience. The smaller venues make their performance more personal with the audience.

    I first heard this band on TH-cam in 2015 playing Make Me Smile. Jaw-dropping accuracy. Check out their other work. EWF, Chicago, TOP, and much more. Their story makes it even more impressive. I've been fortunate to hear them in concert four times in the past few years. Equally impressive! They are humble, appreciative of their audience, and genuinely kind people. For various reasons, over half of the band has turned over since the original recordings, yet they continue to do impeccable performances. Leonid is a genius.

    This is Holy Shit level stuff every time. So tight, and the mix is better than the original. Lead singer is phenomenal. Just fall into the groove and enjoy.

    Wow, the Oakland Stroke hits Moscow ... The trumpet solo is spot on. Greg Adams would be impressed! 🇺🇸😎

    TOP is the epitome of live performance. They've been doin' it right for EVER. L&F respects TOP with their cover. Love 'em both!

    If you haven't already done it you must hear their version of "Searching So Long" . This could be their BEST

    One of the absolute best cover bands in the WORLD. Listen to their Chicago covers as well as Steely Dan.

    Dont know why I tear up listening to it. Its so spot on. I love TOP, but these guys IMHO, take what TOP does and somehow improves on it. They are simply amazing
