Chicago was criminally underrated. This version really allows you to see and hear how so much is going on in their tunes. A perfect pop song, great memories of '72.

[@DoofsterDan]

Would like to publicly thank my college room mate -Gary L of St Louis-for turning me on to Chicago, He had Chicago I and II.

[@toocat2000000]

Chicago was never underrated. They are ranked the #1 American Band in Billboard Chart history and overall #4 only behind the Beatles , the Rolling Stones , and the Bee Gees. There is no crime , and no one is doing time. They have sold over 100 million records, and one of the Longest running , best selling groups of ALL TIME!! They have not been underrated to repeat myself. Still great memories though :) And a great video and a great tribute to Chicago!!!

[@rollysevilla1444]

Better than the original

[@rockhead1428]

I CANNOT stop watching & listening to this group! Since I ‘discovered’ them, here on KZbin, 2 weeks ago I’ve played their entire catalog over & over (& over ...). As both a vocalist & horn player growing up in the ‘60s & ‘70’s in America I was obsessed with the great horn bands like Chicago; Blood Sweat & Tears; Earth, Wind & Fire, et. al.. I marvel at the exquisite musicianship displayed by all of these immensely talented people and only wish I could could ‘sit in’ with them! Leonid’s ability to cipher these tracks - BY EAR - is reminiscent of the scene in ‘Amadeus’ (movie about Mozart) where Mozart hears Salieri’s march played once by the Emperor Joseph II ... which leads to Mozart sitting down and playing it and then running many variations off with ease. Okay, back to the present from my obscure movie reference ... Leonid & Friends musicianship, obvious passion and enjoyment of playing keystone music from my youth has brought tremendous joy to me in what has been (like so many I suspect) one of the most difficult years of my 60 year-old life! (2020) I am a disabled Veteran living in chronic pain and fatigue from Parkinson’s disease. My medical providers encouraged me to return to my musical & artistic youthful endeavors for ‘Neuroplasticity’ ... and it’s been one of the most effective means of pushing back on chronic pain and keeps me from falling into the twin abyss of dopamine deficiency induced Anxiety & Depression. I, however, hit a very rough spot, 3 months ago and stopped painting and playing my music. That is ... UNTIL I heard Leonid & Friend’s opening riffs of Chicago’s “Make Me Smile”. ... which, in a profound way they did! Thank you so very much to all of you in Leonid & Friends for returning music, joy and hope back into my life!

Seriously. Every time I hear the original now, great as it is, I feel bad because I secretly wish I were hearing this cover instead.. I can count on one hand the number of songs that's true for. And none of those others were absolute classics in the original. This is unique.

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Every tribute song they've covered was just as good or better than the originals. I know we all hate comparing Iconic bands to others covering them is forbidden. But as an adult I've come to grips that our heroes often fall to someone better than them

[@thelangertcommercialgroup]

@@mikecee578 Yes they were. We can fully appreciate Leonid and Friends (they're phenomenal) without underestimating Chicago. If you all think that playing these songs is hard (which is the case with many of them), add writing, arranging/orchestrating them to that equation. Chicago's writing is beyond phenomenal, and so is its musicianship. I love Leonid and Friends...saw them live in Annapolis a couple of years ago. However, Chicago was just as good live AND they wrote and arranged all of these tunes.
