The Carpenters, 1972. (23 seconds)
A classic. Give it a listen.
I’m a huge Leonid and Friends fan. There’s quite a few of us on FR.
Beginnings is actually my wake up tune on my alarm clock.
Serge Tiagnyrisndo is in Kiev with his wife and kids. He does a daily update on facebook.
Btw, they are incredible in concert
I just posted this in my college music course; thank you.
Great cover band but please no one say their renditions are better than Chicago’s originals, not even close.
What’s amazing is that they can sound like Terry Kath without any Russian accent. They also do really great covers of Earth, Wind, and Fire tunes although they use female voices for the high falsetto stuff. I don’t know why Americans lost interest in horn bands in the ‘90s. The trumpet licks for these charts are tough but fun.
Great “tribute” band.
And the chick in the striped shirt….not so bad too!
I always liked Leningrad Cowboys with the Red Army Band and Chorus.
Putting aside that Chicago weren’t imitating anyone when they originated this music and all those years ago, the only way to fairly judge the chops of the two bands is between LIVE performances . The studio is often bullshit with a lot of music(excluding classical).
