Gregory Hines & Bunny Briggs: "On Green Dolphin St."

[@davidg.9932]

Bunny Briggs would have turned 99 today. Bernard "Bunny" Briggs. 02/26/22 Tapping on the clouds in haven... With Gregory, of course..

[@shelleynoseworthy4484]

God I miss Gregory Hines so much 😢❤

[@williammitchell1804]

Bunny Briggs moves so smooth. You can hear him tapping, but his feet don't seem like they are moving. At one time it was illegal for Black people to drum in America. So we started to drum with our feet.

[@LionBlyden]

Bunny so smooth and effortless he could be doing all that and you wouldn't even know where it was coming from.

[@thefirm4606]

If Hines is amazing, Briggs is the genius! Flawless performance ❤️

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

These are the guys that I grew up watching and so many more. I really hope all of those kids sitting there are future hoofers to keep the art alive. God speed. ECF.

[@djondjon]

How they do it, I'll never know ... and they make it look so easy! I love Gregory Himes. Gone way too soon. RIP

[@margaretzander3171]

watching Bunny Brigs call the steps at the very end just makes me happy!

[@cherriberri7161]

Absolutely amazing! Bunny is phenomenal! Hines is a class act!

[@amymiller6433]

You two are great tappers!

[@karenlautzenheiser5133]

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

To be in that audience watching them perform must have been awesome.

[@arlenerogerswilhite2236]

Two great artists and dancers.. I love my Gregory Hines!.. RIP to them both.

[@1stsharkb8]

My favorite thing to do on a rainy day like today is watch all the OGS dance. I fall into a youtube rabbit hole of dance videos! In the 80's I bought tickets to a Pointer Sister / Patti Labelle concert in Dallas ONLY because Gregory Hines would be tapping between their performances!

[@davidc9441]

Thanks for uploading. Have not seen this footage of Bunny before. So good .

[@veronihika]

This is outstanding, Dr. Briggs is just cool as a cucumber, and Gregory so slick with his rhythms!! I love it!

[@janegoldberg006]

[@HhEeAaDd]

That doesn’t look like Bunny Briggs..

[@TheJabady]

Look again...

[@Ameerah.G]

I'm thinking the same but it may be lighting and glasses making him look different. That's his dance style.

[@Diesel-le5fx]

That's definitely him. Did you ever watch the movie "Tap"? That's him in there as well much older and still the same style.

[@HhEeAaDd]

@@Diesel-le5fx I found out a while ago that he used makeup to make his skin browner, he was naturally dark skinned, & he’s not wearing makeup here; I figured it out.
