Leonid & Friends hits another one out of the park with this classic EWF tune from 1979. Enjoy!
Boogie Wonderland - Leonid & Friends (EW&F cover)
Excellent
They’ve always been very nice and courteous to me when I’ve met them
3X now (various members)
But 2nd time they were in a big hurry to travel to their next gig.
Konstantin (guitarist) doesn’t seem to be that big these days.
I said to him “God bless you!” and he pointed back at me and said “God bless YOU!”
Surprised me, in a good way.
The female vocalist, (in the middle of the 3 females wearing the red plaid jacket) Ksenia Buzina, is a drop-dead gorgeous international sensation. She has a gigantic fan club in a number of countries and I believe speaks 6 languages fluently including Mandarin Chinese. She can sing just about every genre of music there is with one of my favorites the Rolling Stones smash hit, Satisfaction.
Just found out about them last year, saw them in Oct. OUTSTANDING.
And I didn’t like Chicago, but I love it when they play it.
From the beginning, we’ve seen them every year on their Fall Western tours where they typically do two concerts in our area—one at an inside venue and a “free” one (sponsored by a local veteran’s organization). My son always goes to the meet and greet and they are always gracious and friendly and generous with their time.

Unfortunately, they don;t have a singer for “Shining Star” or “That’s the Way of the World”. My 6th grade teacher loved Earth Wind and Fire, and we spend an entire class listening to the Gratitude album.
For comparison, here is the EWF original. They put on a show, too.

Rob Temperton, Disco Genius.
Indeed, but not associated with this song in any way.
Love Chicago
Saw them twice 80s and 90s
LOVE going to see Leonid and Friends
Finally met Leonid last year
Got a picture of the 2 of us together
Then his son Roman scurried him off
😂🤣
Love 💓 Leonid and Friends
I liked Chicago but they play it better than Chicago does.
Konstantin is just awesome on guitar
Igor is fantastic on drums too
Told me he had studied Buddy Rich
His English wasn’t very good at that time but much better now
I can speak maybe 5 words of Russian
LOL 😂

Oh darn, you’re right. I thought he wrote it.
We’ve seen them four times. Both in very small and larger settings. Always an incredible show. Never did the meet and greet.
The ladies did a marvelous job capturing the energy of the Emotions who backed up EWF on the original.
