    Потрясён. Такое чувство что ребята родились в российских широтах для того, чтобы опровергнуть постулаты о том, что, дескать, надо родиться чернокожим или хотя бы мулатом для генетической способности играть фанк. Ан нет ! Это феномен без преувеличения. Я даже большле скажу : мало того, что Леонид и друзья дарят новую жизнь шедеврам, так они они ещё и привносят в них свои души, свои прочтения, свои жизнеощущения и, даже не побоюсь этого сказать, новые характеры. Каждый из вас попросту гений. Да. Гений. Это не похвальба, это констатация факта, ребята. Да пребудет с вами всегда Муза. Я вас обожаю и уважаю.

      I have seen all the videos, many times, and one live concert. I NEVER imagined that Ksenia has such a rich tone to her voice when singing in these lower registers! Most of her singing is high harmony to Sergey's tenor voice. So glad to see this. She is gifted.

    In 1981 I got a hold of a tape reel captioned “Black Russian” with three Russian names mentioned. For 20 years I didn’t who these guys were and no one could tell me. Eventually with the help of internet I found out that these 3 guys broke away from the iron curtain, moved to US in 1976 and signed with Motown Records.
    I truly enjoyed the track “Leave Me Now” and we decided to pay homage to these talented musicians. We thank Natasha (Shneider), Kapustin (RIP), Serge Kapustin, Vladimir Shneider (RIP) and Allee Willis (RIP) who wrote the lyrics

    • @Keyboardman88
      @Keyboardman88 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I understand that she has a very big following in Europe, but her solo style hasn't been a big hit here in the states. Guess that's because she's a real vocalist, a consummate professional...no hip-hop or RAP-CRAP from her. We need more of this and less of the ass jigglers who dress like tramps and think they know how to sing. I would love to hear this woman sing Anita Baker. I have no doubt she would sound excellent.

      From what I have read, Ksenia is from Russia and has toured independently from Leonid & Friends. It's been said that she is very smart, speaks fluently in 7 languages as well as being absolutely gorgeous with a fantastic voice. The group is as good if not better than Chicago, from the singers to the horn section and the drummer as in the song: "I'M A Man". the Best tribute band out there!

Two years ago we were all together in a lunch break and suddenly started to play " The Jones Girls - At Peace With Woman " and one of my friends ( he is 54 years old ) said: OMG what track is this ? i never heard before......ok, is impossible to know all tracks from 70´s and 80´s but there is some classics where is not allowed you don´t know if really you like old tracks. Black Russian was formed in old Soviet Union and they emigrated to USA in 1976 and in 1980 signed with with Motow records. But´s ok, much respect to you my friend.

      All I can say about her “diction” is that she is not singing in her native tongue. She speaks 4 or 5 languages. If she were an American, her diction would be just as good as Barbra’s. This is just my opinion. Michael Stone, your comment, taken in its entirety, is right on!! Totally agree!!

    Y'know, there's so much to be said about this group of people and their leadership. From the lead vocalists to the instrumentalists to the engineers. This is what you get when *all* are pretty much at the top of their field. I love that they chose this song for Ksenia. It puts her extraordinary vocal range, timbre and interpretation on display so we can finally see how complete a singer and artiste she is. Leonid has so many gifts, but knowing which material to choose to expose the enormous raw talent, and then coax it from the individuals is extraordinary. I think that Leonid does as much or more even for this group of artists than George Martin did for the Beatles. What a great time to be alive and watch this gift bestowed on all of us.

As a musician of many years i find it hard to believe what he does because if you take time to analyse his role you will see that most things done in this band have his touch to it. From dissecting the music of Chicago to writing the music to being involved in the mixing is truly a master craftsman. Just for the record he is an excellent bass player as despite all the recording gizmos you cannot replicate feel, interpretation and passion

    Such terrific people... Ksenia is indeed beautiful, and as beautiful inside when you speak with her. I started following L&F five years ago, right from their beginning here in the US. They love their music, their followers. They answer (when they get free moments) everyone who contacts them. Leonid told me early on, every Russian musician’s dream is to play before an American audience. It has been an amazing experience to speak to them and even some of their family members, to know them as people. They have the same wants as we do, to be free, be happy and be well. I saw them in concert twice Before the pandemic stopped their tours... they are just as amazing live.

    I first got into this band about four months ago when I saw her doing superstar on TH-cam as I was scrolling through different types of music in her immense beauty caught my eye and people argue with me that she doesn’t sound exactly like Karen Carpenter but I disagree I think you can’t really tell the difference between their voices. And also She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. She melts my heart and soul every time I see her on here and hear her voice. They are all fantastic musicians. I play guitar but these people are world-class musicians. When I see her in Pittsburgh on September 23 I’m bringing a dozen roses to give to her. She speaks eight languages and she was in Jason Bourne the Bourne identity as I looked her up on wiki. I’m gonna have to revisit that movie because I did see it before but didn’t realize it was her at the time all I could really just keep telling people when I show them this video as she’s the most beautiful woman I have ever seen especially when she’s doing September by earth wind and fire that yellow midriff shirt had to be made just for her because nobody else can rock that shirt like her! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    My College Radio WODU in Norfolk, Virginia, NATO' s Atlantic Command Headquarters city, in 1982-1983 played 1st Album Black Russian in its entirety many times. Our local Public Radio station Jazz programs played them, but even though a Motown record, none of the record stores, one of which even carried bootleg and official Soviet records, carried it. A lot of European records wound up in record bins courtesy of the sailors in the US Navy Atlantic Fleet and NATO. I had Black Russian album, transferred from a CART tape to reel-to-reel back in 1984, but lost track of it when I sold my Sansui player. More Black Russian covers, Leonid!
