Remembering Gene Kelly - A tribute

[@elissaschornstein9399]

Beautiful Gene Kelly. Outstanding performer and choreographer and director. Multi talented artist. Remembered for creating modern dance in movies and entertaining millions of people. I shall never forget you Mr. Kelly you were a class act and brought much joy to the world. Thank you so much for your charismatic personality, gorgeous smile and twinkling eyes. ❤️

A very touching tribute to the amazing Gene Kelly. A brilliant all round performer. Dancer, Actor, Singer, Choreographer, and Director! Gene had such a beautiful smile that reached up to his eyes. He was very versatile and could play many different roles. A lovely man inside and outside. Still missing you Gene and you will never be forgotten. 🌹🌹🌹

He sure was beautiful 😍😍😍

Gene Kelly was a huge star in his day, but he has more fans all around the world now than he did then because he went to great pains to make certain his works were always relevant to the human condition and, therefore, timeless. Kelly was one of the most important artists of the 20th Century and his place in history grows more important with each new generation.

This is the most wonderful tribute Eugene Curran Kelly I have seen. I have read his biography 5 times and I know every movie of his by heart. But my breath never ceases to get lost when I see his eyes twinkle as he flashes his heart-warming smile.

[@hopelesslydevoted16]

Oh, why look! My second favorite actor! (I just commented on your James Stewart video, and he's my first. :P) Once again, a beautiful video for a beautiful man!

[@roxy5588]

That was one of the most beautiful things that I have seen in ages love you Gene and bless your heart to to me as you are the greatest dancer ever love you Gene and I will never forget you!!!!!! 3

[@dgniewek]

Thanks so much for posting. He was amazing talent who needs to be remembered as you remembered him, with honor and true appreciation.

Beautiful tribute! A magnificent fella ... He was one of a kind. And I love his daughter's quote - it says a lot about him :) R.I.P. Gene.

[@newperdes]

What can I say but Thank you, that's an amazing tribute. Love everything about it, of course the best part being Gene Kelly.

[@snave0001]

great tribute.

[@MAKEUPyourmindXO]

Wow, I had to hold back the tears for this one. Beautiful video!

[@hellasexy22]

This was a wonderful tribute to Gene; I love it! I especially love the quotes from his family & co-stars; that was well done & was an added special touch. I nearly fell off my chair looking at the opening picture(man, those dark brown eyes & smile really get me every time!) Although the music is very nice, I would have changed the tempo just a bit . Kelly was an athletic, vibrant man which truly reflected in his acting & dancing. Otherwise, well done! RIP GCK!

[@clue104]

What a wonderful tribute.

[@mouflette48]

great tribute to a great actor, singer, dancer. Everything he do, he do well thanks for him

[@susanlloyd7395]

My favorite of the Hollywood Immortals. You'll see him on top of a lamppost or jumping over a couch almost every day on TCM to sell the classics.

[@860313]

@LaBelleAurore504 Aaaaw...your comment makes me all warm in my tummy. :D I'm really glad that you like the way I put everything together, it took me a little while, but I also like the way it turned out. :) Hun...you have no idea how proud I am for being a fan of Gene Kelly, it's just fun to make all these videos with him.

[@kellyakabilly]

You make such spectacular tributes to Gene! Thank you for this one. I love the addition of the quotes- they add a special touch. What an awesome guy! *tear*

[@elissaschornstein9399]

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO A BEAUTIFUL MAN. 🌹♥️🌹

[@860313]

@hellasexy22 Thanks for your comment, glad you liked it! I understand what you mean about the song, but to this tribute I wanted a little bit more slow and sad song since I missed him terribly much this day. I just wish I was born in another era...in an era when all our oldies still were with us and active. I would have done anything just to meet Gene, to shake his hand and tell him how amazing he is... I just wish they all could come back and kick Justin Bieber to another planet! ;D

[@860313]

Wow...thank you so much for the comments ya'll! I'm so glad that you like my tributes. I'm so proud of being a fan of all my heroes so making these videos are pure joy for me. :)

[@susanlloyd7395]

The greatest. Nobody else like him.

[@susanlloyd7395]

The only and only Gene Kelly, thanks to film, will live forever.

[@StupidLamb251]

@860313 It's true. Once you've seen Gene Kelly in action, you feel like you have to watch every movie of his, but it's never enough. Hahahaha. I don't remember who wrote it exactly. I checked it out from my local library. It was called: Gene Kelly: A Life of Dance and Dreams, by Alvin Yudkoff I believe. It's a truly great read. There's a lot of comedy in it, such as Gene fist fighting with the neighborhood boys on his way to dancing lessons with the other Kelly's. It's great for any Gene lover.

[@860313]

@mouflette48 Thanks for the comment and glad you liked it! He sure was one stunning, dazzling and wonderful person.

[@lindakaye1320]

I met Gene Kelly at the Garden State Arts Cener in 1985 or 6. I joined him on stage, presented him with roses, got a kiss, a twirl, and later, an autograph on his picture which I had brought with me- the cover of the book, “Gene Kelly: Song and Dance Man.” It is framed and still hangs in my hallway. I had my first crush on him when, as a child, I saw him in “Marjorie Morningstar” and asked my mom who he was. She correctly said she thought I had my first crush. I still do. Meeting him was the most exciting, exhilarating thing that has ever happened to me!

[@860313]

@StupidLamb251 Aaaw...thank you for your sweet comment! :D 5 times?! Wow, actually I don't own any biography with him...YET! Just the Gene Kelly - Anatomy of a dancer DVD. You know how it is, you want so much... ;) Is it the one that Clive Hirschorn wrote?

[@860313]

@filmfreak222 Thanks for the comment! Yeah you're so right, that's my favorite quote, so simple...but as you said: it says a lot about him.

[@tyleetophbrown]

he dead the year before i was born gene kelly was amazing i have all the movies he was in my favorite were singin in rain and summer stock

[@860313]

@hopelesslydevoted16 Haha, we have a lot in common. ;D Glad you liked it and thanks a lot!

[@nyhcara]

Can you tell me the piece of music you've used it's lovely!

[@860313]

@kellyakabilly Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :) He sure was spectacular.

[@susanlloyd7395]

Great but I wish it was in color. All the movies are.

[@SawyersFreckles1981]

Please tell me the piece of music you used? I love it! Please I need to know :)

[@860313]

Sorry, something I found here on KZbin like a hundred years ago but when my old computer crashed I lost this piece and i can't remember the title. "/

[@hopelesslydevoted16]

@860313 Haha, I know! When I saw this video, I was like, "Oh my gosh, this person likes Gene Kelly too!"

[@860313]

@Maroon5MacFarlaneFan Oh my sweet friend, we're all hopelessly in love with him! Welcome to the gang! ;D In which movie did you discover him? :)

[@OldTelivisionRocks]

It's raining outside. I just thought it was appropriate.

[@aintgotnotltc]

3:09 which movie please? ❤❤😍

[@ginga2423]

Also Summerstock. ^.^

[@aintgotnotltc]

+Ginga Well hello, thank you again :) I must watch that movie ASAP, he looks absoluteky gorgeous!

[@ginga2423]

+lisa marie mc Haha. Well, this is me, 860313, just from my other channel that I will start building up. This channel will eventually be deleted, but all my old tributes will be on this new channel as well. :) Yeah you do! it's one of my absolute favorites, and my all time favorite with Gene and Judy Garland. ^.^

[@aintgotnotltc]

+Ginga That's nice, I just subscribed :) I will try to watch it tonight! Will you be making new tributes on your new channel as well?

[@ginga2423]

+lisa marie mc Thanks! :D I think so. I did two just a little while ago and I really felt how much I've missed doing them. But this time I will have a more mixed content. :)

[@clue104]

What program did you use?

[@860313]

@dgniewek Thanks for the comment! You're so right, and the sad thing is that he's not that well-remembered here in Sweden. When you start talking about him everyone is like "Gene who?" "Gene Kelly ffs! Haven't you seen An American in Paris? Anchors aweigh? Brigadoon? Cover girl The Pirate?!" "Uhm...no..." "Well you must have seen Singin' in the rain...!" "Oh, is that the movie where the girl gets all soaked with water while sitting on a chair?" "No...no...that's Flashdance..." XD

[@ihatefosters]

You sir, caught this magic of the man so... brilliantly. Please, what is this song? I love it so :) And so do the people who love this video and Mr. Kelly!
