Leonid & Friends – Stay the Night
A evening pause: Another great cover from this Russian band, this time a song by Chicago. Recorded in 2018, which explains why the lead vocalist is a Ukrainian. It appears he is no longer with the group.

Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 – Mas Que Nada
An evening pause: Performed on television c1966. They are clearly lip synching to the original recording, but the song is great, and the sets and dancing are worth watching, if only to get a feel for 1960s variety show television.
