Gene Gene the Dancing Machine: Legend

[@lindafelt5238]

God Bless Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine... what a terrific man who had talent and brought joy to the world. I know that he's dancing for God.🤼🤾🤸🏃

[@silverlaptop2022]

If we ever forget how to be happy, .......🎶🎵

[@saints093]

Gene Gene could really bring down the house with his dancing and the audience would be cheering him on and dancing along with him, but Gene rocked on The Gong Show, and Chuck was funny as well

[@dannydoughboy120]

Gene Gene always made my day....Never will see this type of entertainment again.

[@andregodfrey3022]

He's STILL & will forever remain our LEGEND RIP Sir

[@wm.patrickmilford4589]

To be honest, Gene was the only reason I watched the Gong Show.

[@CoxinatorProductions]

He was the best!

[@raymondacarswell8470]

Real talk

[@paulamiles9559]

My sister and I went from liking the show to being rabid fans- because of this wonderful man.

[@winstonsmiths2449]

Him and the Unknown comedian

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

The band though...❤❤🔥🔥

[@michaelhull63]

He was what we all waited for in our house whe Gene Gene the dancing Machine would come out ohh so fun

[@CoxinatorProductions]

Same with our family!

[@TheMajorchutzpah]

Been a fan since since those original days. The gong show was a wake n bake ritual. Sad irony he had diabetes in later life and both legs amputated at the knees. God bless you Gene Gene! You are remembered!! Btw the song is Jumpin on the Woodside” Everyone Dance!!!

[@markandmargie7331]

That guy had the moves. I got exhausted watching him dance at the end. Great 1st entry.

[@ericjohnson9477]

Loved me some Gene Gene the dancing machine. Always made my day when he popped up.

[@silverlaptop2022]

Clap along with Chuck, dance along with Gene 🎵🎶😎

[@jaewok5G]

the greatest show ever on television

[@CoxinatorProductions]

[@theheartland1861]

[@Bobbyb732]

A legend !!

[@CoxinatorProductions]

I realize that this video isn’t for everyone, but then you realize that it actually is for everyone and you’re just being a grump. #bhm

[@paulreed1142]

So glad you could get C3P0's father to narrate this post.

[@karlfisher1864]

Gene was the greatest! Karl

[@vmjr543]

Gene was classic

[@lilcamjax]

That’s my grandfather

[@CoxinatorProductions]

We loved Grandpa Gene!

[@lilcamjax]

@@CoxinatorProductions lmfao my cousins called him that all the time I just referred to him as grandpa cause I only had the one growing up

[@michaelscott7462]

This man brought immeasurable joy to millions of people...and still is!

[@lilcamjax]

@@michaelscott7462 one of the greatest men I’ve ever know for sure and one of my biggest inspirations

[@jimjohnston5719]

"Okay. We have an act who isn't here, we need a sixty-second filler, any ideas?" "Gimme my jacket." And thus, a legend was born.

[@colletteryan56]

I loved that show

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Great to see this tribute to a great soul. One correction: The Count Basie tune is not One O'Clock Jump. It is "Jumpin at the Woodside." The Gong Show Band was made up of some very hot players and they did the Basie tune Solid Justice every time.

[@CoxinatorProductions]

My narrator was given the gong for that mistake!

[@colletteryan56]

Good old days

[@dalegarraway9865]

Not one o'clock jump. the song is "Jumping at the Woodside"

[@CoxinatorProductions]

Correct! Never trust a Brit.

[@jpsned]

Thanks for pointing that out. 👏

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Came here to say that as well. I'm arranging it for my band!

[@joemanzotherealjoebizz]

Chuck Barris, JP Morgan and the rest of these maniacs gave us the impression that they were all fired up on cochise, little did we know that it was mostly true!

[@CoxinatorProductions]

It was a party for sure!

[@antoniocobb9648]

What was that robot's name?

[@David-yw2lv]

What is the name of the tune being played?

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Jumpin at the Woodside, Count Basie

[@David-yw2lv]

@@cheeseheadfiddle Thanks

[@topsecretbear9918]

The lesson is "lay off the sweets."

[@eliterry3785]

Great topic. Horrible bot narrator. Great topic though.
