Gregory Hines Tap Dance

[@MrAddonald9]

I hope there is a child out there who wants to grow up and be like Gregory Hines R.I.P.!

[@Caramel1806]

Hopefully. I think Zavion Glover studied with him before he, Gregory Hines, died.

[@VoklstWestie]

@@Caramel1806 yes Savion is carrying the torch now & teaching & proliferating the knowledge & footwork forward!!!!

[@leffphield]

Multitudes of them.

I hope there is a master still out there to teach a child who is inspired to be the next Gregory Hines.

[@oaustin1]

Savion glover!

[@elizabethfisher1634]

Can't believe Gregory Hines is gone... what an amazing talent!!!

[@tt55899]

Lol its been 20 yrs

[@amymalina5073]

This might sound weird but I saw him in a local supermarket in LA and from a short distance I saw him go through the door behind the meat and fish counter to say hello to the guys working there. You could tell by the hello he received that they knew him and obviously adored him. It was such a moment of pure goodness and kindness. I’m sorry if I fail to express the emotion I felt by what an outstanding person Gregory Hines was. Just a pure instinctive kind of moment where you realize this is not just an outstanding talent but a wonderful person as well. Terrible loss, way too young. An inspirational man.

[@PhyllisEllison]

You expressed him well. You can feel his goodness and pure kindness. Thank you for sharing. 🍃🌱🌸☘️🌿🍃

[@oldeenglishd45]

I’m watching this with tears in my eyes. 😢

[@reginafromrio]

Me too! Happy tears!

[@jamillie87]

It’s was the taking the jacket off while still tapping in motion for me riff after riff!!!

[@cyvette1920]

Gregory Hines was magical!

[@neobooger]

It’s tough to show appreciation during the performance… Because you don’t wanna miss a single solitary second of the genius that man possessed.

[@reginafromrio]

Nothing like a KZbin ad to take you out of a euphoric trance...

[@tassouwanttoo7406]

OH HOW I HATE KZbin FOR THAT!!!

[@MilitantX1]

My favorite tap dancer of all-time! There will never be another Gregory Hines.....NEVER! RIP my brother!

[@wifeoftim]

He's not even out of breath! Gregory Hines was amazng!

[@Cindy.P]

Such an AMAZING dancer who continues to inspire me & many others to this day. May his genius live on & may he RIP.

[@TheStellacatsmith]

He was beautiful and talented

[@lonelyenchantress2172]

Yes ma'am he was.😍

[@Rosebud2503]

He was gorgeous...so sad he is gone...😢

[@edithcarter3554]

I remember watching him as a kid and I thought he was amazing.

[@bmyra]

He's just THE COOLEST.

[@alneshiasaint-hubert1595]

Please don't forget about the Nicolas BROTHERS!!!!! wowwwwwwwww

[@SaharaSweetDesert]

I hate that tap dancing came and went too soon. So grateful I was shown Tap as a kid. Rip Gregory Hines.

[@Tina-qp7py]

I'm still doing it.

[@JayeBoogie1017]

GOD spoils us by giving us one of somethings.....and when they are gone we hurt because sometimes we want to keep them here so bad that we don't have to talk about them past tense.....RIP...MR. HINES!!!! YOU ARE MISSED

[@joanne26]

Gregory Died too young Wonderful tap dancer I remember watching him in a film called White Nights in 1985 with Mikhail Baryshnikov 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@dannigyrl]

I remember watching this with my grandfather. This was a 2 hr NBC special dedciated to then Apollo Theater. They had some amazing performances that night including El Debarge, Sammy Davis Jr., Sandman, Debbie Allen, Phylicia Rashad, etc. It was hosted by Bill Cosby.

[@thejasonadamecomedyshow7646]

Died so young RIP Mr Hines Thanks For all The Memories Sir

[@SuperMusicology101]

Dancer performer Exstrodanair RIP you're missed Brother

[@veramae4098]

I saw the last banquet / performance honoring Sammy Davis Jr. (Highly recommend his biography, "Yes I can"). Hines was performing, finished, and Sammy started walking to the stage. Not planned. He was very weak, but with every step closer to the stage he gained strength. Fabulous short performance. Hines got down and kissed his feet. Then Sammy walked back to his seat and with every step became weaker. He died just 6 months later. P.S. In his biography Sammy mentions he went into vaudeville with 2 uncles. In one part of the book, he wrote that later he realized his uncles sometimes went without food so they could feed him. 💕💕

[@ernestmalonkane8668]

The legend is gone, he will sorely be missed. RIP Gregory Oliver Hines

[@tt55899]

Lol dude he's been dead 20 yrs

[@johndrasutphin8823]

He was absolutely mesmerizing! Such a wonderful talent that we lost.

[@hollypotthoff2337]

I adore this man and his dancing talent, which are extraordinarily underrated. I am a huge fan of White Nights, but am still frustrated that Mikhail's talents are praised more than Gregory's. I have been trying without success to find a video that shows a piece in the early part of the film that showcases Gregory Hines talent--I know it's there but cannot find a video to back me up. If ANYONE with more computer expertise can introduce this much needed piece of beauty to KZbin, we will ALL be better for it. Thanks!

[@colleenc4624]

He was the best. Lovely man, so handsome too. I couldn't stand that show Will & Grace but watched it when he was on. I would watch anything with Gregory Hines!! Wonderful actor, great comedic timing as well.. Gone way too soon. RIP Mr. Hines.

[@craigbreuwet1924]

What an incredible tap dancer Gregory Hines is and to think that Gregory Himes even learned from the incredible Nicholas Brothers also

[@funkyflights]

He was pretty good at that 😀

[@starniquebrown]

Memory memoir magic, we have all got to make the most of the best of memories in this life that is of sin. Rather alone for in ourselves or with everyone.

[@JohnBarnett-u8j]

I saw this man late in his career,❤ and I am pleased I did ❤❤❤ John

[@brianwolfsohn3942]

Obviously an alien, no human can tap like that

[@AGC828]

I think TAP is underrated. Seems this dance style doesn't get much press. Rarely featured in entertainment (TV shows or film). Only recall Samie Davis Jr being the other BIG NAME tap dancer from before Gregory HInes. Clearly it takes immesne skill and i don't htink it's "made up on the spot" (as Im sure some might think).... Loved the concept of White Knights--2 of the "best" dances in teir own styles paired in a combination spy/dance movie...which WOrKED. though they never tried to get Gergory to do ballet....Barishnakov's forte....claim to fame....

[@Peppapigcaprisunrlmo1]

Meeee❤

[@stevenjamaalwallace-tull528]

I'm talmbout foolish wit it

[@tapduff]

His name is Gregory HINES, not Heins. Just sayin'.

[@mormusicclips8959]

Thank you for the correct spelling! Much appreciated.

[@mmathapelomoagi6425]

Yeeees huney

[@TagreedAbdin]

What sorcery is this? Rest in peace, Gregory Hines, I hope you're also singing a diet with Luther

[@ericastrum5926]

Does anyone know what year this was? I remember this on TV when I was a kid but don't recall if it was 1987, 88, or 89.
