So I thought Leonid and Friends was incredible covering several songs by Chicago with perfection. But then I find that they have equally perfect covers of several Earth Wind and Fire songs that are incredibly difficult to replicate. Then they covered some Tower of Power songs with perfection. And now Chaka Khan cover songs? Are you kidding me? This ensemble is just incredible. And that's putting it mildly. These are perhaps some of the most talented musicians in the world, all performing together with humility to keep great music alive for the next generation.
As soon as I see you're reviewing this band, I already know we are in for an amazing performance. They continue to astound me with their precise instrumentation and beautiful vocals. Always a fun time. Great reaction Harri. I love to see you groove to the greats. Thanks Harri and Robert. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Fantastic ❤🤩👍 Loved the original and this is just as good. Harri you have been on a treasurehunt tonight 🥰🙏🥳 Thanks for the suggestion and Thanks Harri
Hot damn!! Yeah man, these guys NEVER cover anything mediocre. It must be a daunting task putting a tour together with their endless play list. So many layers.
My poor mortal brain just can't keep up with what is going on in that song.I have been following these guys since they started on RUclipsand they just get better abd better.Thanks Harri.
Tight band, great vocals. And an exceptional cover of a great song. You and some of your viewers would enjoy the Rebecca Johnson band from Australia. They have a lot of RUclips videos. Usually a three piece band, with drums, guitar and Rebecca on the vocals and bass. They are badass. I discovered them about a year ago and have been a fan ever since. If you are a fan of bass guitar, you'll enjoy her playing.
I enjoy your reviews more than just about anybody I watch reviews on. You are an amazing talent when it comes to the ear for musical taste and talent! Definitely bestie
As with computer tech, military and aerospace hardware, etc., Russians aren't known for inventing much, but they have mastered the skill of reverse engineering and are damn good at producing (almost) exact replicas. Kudos to Leonid, Ksenia, et al. Chaka Khan should be flattered.
Ee-ee-eeh, whaddaya think of their arrangement changes on this tune? Several are pretty brilliant on this tune, at least to my ear. Maybe you could check out their "This Speck of Dust" -- it's all original, and *very* inventive ! Co-written by a fellow that has since passed. I think it's remarkable.
Haven't heard one bad cover from this band! They are just phenomenal!
Omg, Ksenia!! She's incredible! Love her voice and talent.
she is so beautiful and talented
She's not just beautiful....she's perfect.
That video should have a billion views !!!!!! Total JAM !!!!!
Is Leonid & Friends capable of trashing a remake? NOT!! It is the opposite, they knock it out of the park with every remake they do. Just incredible.
👍👍👍
It's funny....his reaction is like mine was when I heard it the first time.
hi harri thanks for sharing ..thanks to you i discovered leonid and friends...hey you look like Maurice White from EWF

Check out Super Star ...Karen Carpenter. Freaky!!
Speaking The Truth, sir Dave. Spot on the money !
Unbelievable, love this!
Wow 😳🙌

Great reaction Harri. I love to see you groove to the greats. Thanks Harri and Robert. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I would not have known this group if it hadn’t been for you, Harri.
Rei Frometa Oyaviles is the percussionist! Cuban. Sweetest man in the world and so gifted.
Hello Christina Schlegel! Glad to see you here! I have a niece, Tanya Schlegel.
They are so good! Thank you for turning me on to them.
Hi Harri! You ARE correct!! The 'covering' musicianship here ........ is practiced to perfection!!!👋👋👋
She’s fantastic
Harri, saw them in May, they are as good live as what you see in the YT videos.
! ! ! -- I bet they never disappoint -- dunno how they do it !
Awesomeness! Love this band! They are currently on a US tour, too.
Chaka Khan who better than original and the instrument shes on fire im blown away love your reaction thanks
Fantastic ❤🤩👍 Loved the original and this is just as good. Harri you have been on a treasurehunt tonight 🥰🙏🥳
Thanks for the suggestion and Thanks Harri
I've watched all their videos loved all of them and man does she have some pipes !!!!!😮
OMG HARRI! They were awesome in concert 2 nites ago in Texas! You NEED to go when they hit the UK!
The singer is amazing!!
Hot damn!!
Yeah man, these guys NEVER cover anything mediocre.
It must be a daunting task putting a tour together with their endless play list.
So many layers.
Yet they always make it look easy.
Harri it doesn't get any better ❤
She's got some big shoes to fill singing this song. I love hearing her sing she's got a beautiful voice.
Another great performance by L&F........and Ksenia is outstanding 💕💕 as well..as is usual for the band and her...never get enough of them!!
My poor mortal brain just can't keep up with what is going on in that song.I have been following these guys since they started on RUclipsand they just get better abd better.Thanks Harri.
L&F can perfectly cover anything... And the impossibly beautiful Ksenia Buzina can sing virtually anything in multiple languages.
I've seen them live twice and they never ever disappoint!
Phenomenal as ever. Each vocalist gets their moment in the spotlight with Leonid. New viewers try Harri's view of their 'Fantasy' - one of their best
Funktastic! Thanks, Harri and Robert. Never heard of Leonid and Friends still I saw you react to them earlier. So talented.
Chaka must be proud of this and blown away remarkable
Can’t wait
Seeing them in Seattle at the end of Oct 🎶❤️
Prepare to have your *Mind Blown*.
Can't be still listening to this. Inspires positive moving reaction
Leonid and Friends do more than cover songs. They tributize the original. And the horns, so tight and the Ksenia can sing anything!
Awesome arrangement and performance as usual. 👍👍
Ridiculous, isnt it? Ksenia is amazing, the band is unmatched.
Great request Robert! This definitely got me on my feet. What a great song! Harri’s enthusiasm always makes it better. Thanks Robert and Harri 🌺✌️
Everything L&F do is fantastic.
We just saw them live in Texas. The venue was a bit cramped, but they were great! The bigger the venue, the better the sound.
Did you hear that bass riff at the :42 mark? Man! That's dangerous!
I saw them play this in concert.....she is tiny but has a powerful voice!
This band doesn't just cook, they TORCH!!!
As a huge fan of Chaka Khan, I'll say this, she did a really good job, the band was more impressive.
Espetacular!!!
They did a song three years ago called Leave Me Now. You should hear it.
Ksenia is amazing on that song!!!
That was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tight band, great vocals. And an exceptional cover of a great song. You and some of your viewers would enjoy the Rebecca Johnson band from Australia. They have a lot of RUclips videos.

This woman is a goddess!!
Goddess of goddesses, if you ask me . .
They have toured the States twice already!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I enjoy your reviews more than just about anybody I watch reviews on. You are an amazing talent when it comes to the ear for musical taste and talent! Definitely bestie
I’d like to know what Chaka Kahn thinks about this😊
We got tickets to see them . Can't wait

little thinks make more difference
These guys are from Ukraine.
That turn-around between the verses is FIRE!!!
O. M. G. for sure. How did Leonid come up with *that* ?
Funktastic❤
