World's Greatest Cover Band

[KJ6EAD]

In my endless musical explorations I recently discovered a Russian and Ukrainian group, Leonid (Vorobyev) & Friends, that covers classic American groups such as Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire so perfectly that it's worth sharing. I created a playlist of my favorites for your convenience but of course there are more videos on the group's channel if you care to look.

This group is amazing! The Chicago covers are spot-on!

I have heard almost every thing they did on youtube & facebook. (some in Russian)

I'd heard all of the Chicago hits that got radio play growing up but never was really a fan. My tastes in music are eclectic but I've always been impressed with musicianship regardless of genre or period so when I found L & F, I was very impressed.

When I've shared mix tapes, CDs and now playlists with others, I've realistically expected that in each case, only one or two people would find one or two artists of interest to them and I consider that a successful share. Amusingly, the response I've gotten many times has been "my wife loved it".

I'm glad you guys are liking this.

I have spent much time in a recording studio. From my point of view Leonid And Friends are fun to watch. They have so much fun.

From the recording studio point of view, Mr Lub is also interesting to watch.

I haven't heard about them, most of the covers that I want are from Boyce Avenue.
Just an update, I have listened to their cover of If You Leave Me Now and I must say that they are really good. Even my dogs have been fallen into a deep sleep on their heated pet beds. Thank you for introducing this band with us.
