[@kathryndaniels6372]

Gene Kelly was great. Loved Gregory Hines. Wow.

[@tonyaeheman2499]

Gene very much was so deserving of this Honor. Gene did it all. Gene was one of a kind. There will never be another Gene Kelly. All of us Gene Kelly Lovers will always love you 😍 ❤ 🌹. Thank you so very much for sharing Mostlydaydreaming ❤ 🌹 🙂.

Considering he was born in 1912 compared to some of his peers he aged incredibly well & what a great dancer he was. Sad that at the end he was unable to walk dying at 84. We'll never see stars like these again.

[@cathyplatt6948]

Singing In The Rain is still the absolute best.

Gene Kelly was an icon of American Cinema. His talent and grace made him into one of the most beloved actors to ever hit the silver screen. Thanks so much for this upload, and if you have any more from the early Kennedy Center Honors, please share them with us! David B

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

Tell me about it. It’s like waking up to a nightmare….😂

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Great to have the incomparable Yves Montand opening the Kelly tribute.

[@omarko9708]

Very good tap dancing number by Gregory Hines !

[@madesimple101]

We lost him way too early. ☹

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

I definitely miss Gregory Hines. And how amazing that he used his movie Tap as an opportunity to honor other tappers from past years, instead of just showcasing himself. And who could forget White Nights!! The great Gregory Hines, there will never be another.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Thank you so much for uploading this tribute. This is one I have been looking for for a long time.

[@NatValCas]

I love this!

[@countrydj2]

Thank goodness he decided to dance professionally and not play baseball. We wouldn’t have all these wonderful clips to enjoy if God didn’t help him make the decision to become a dancer.

[@1Bornconfused]

I didn't know he had a BA in Economics!!

[@jeffpiegari4942]

The whole thing please

[@jermaf]

Why forget the best dancer fred astaire ??? I just ask.

He wasn’t forgotten. Fred Astaire was already honored in 1978. Every year different people are chosen.
