Ben Vereen "To Dance" Rare Live Night Club Performance 70's

[@Artoliva]

Getting to play in the orchestra when you were dancing was an amazing excuse for me thank you

[@Artoliva]

Experience not excuse

[@Artoliva]

Yes experience lol

I love u Ben you was such an inspiration when I was little dancing plus my parents seen you and got your autograph and I still have it...

Watching MADTV and looking up pop references that go over my head. I've learned of Fiona Apple, Tommy Tune and now Ben Vereen. People have this passion that makes it impossible to look away from their performances. Very impressive.

I remember Mr.Vereen when I was a child. Great memories 💛 I still think he's very handsome and a lovely gentleman.

[@foxtrotdesigns6051]

A confident and fluid performance in what seems to be a rather small space. Great moves and great body!

[@karenrhjackson1331]

GORGEOUS 🥰🥰🥰

[@laurelton236]

Gorgeous movement, gorgeous man for all time!

What a wonderful clip, thanks so much for posting. I saw Mr. Vereen perform in the 70s at the Empire Room at the Waldorf Astoria. I'll never forget seeing him live, in such a small venue. (Granted, the small spaces restrict his ability to move, but you still get a taste for his magic as a dancer and performer.) This brings back so many memories. A treasure.

A great entertainer, a great humanitarian, and my dearest, dearest friend for (mumble mumble) years...

OMG! To have seen this live! I would have fainted! What a beautiful man and dancer! So lithe. Gorgeous powerful body.

Very cool person! A friend of mine teaches at Cornish College in Seattle and Ben Vareen will be the guest of honor at their 2016 senior graduation commencement . This guy is amazing as a performer!

[@chrisg4584]

Did anyone else used to watch him in Zoobilee Zoo?

[@Slipslod]

Bravo!

[@hananricketts6327]

Ooookay okay okay.... Like if the Glass Cannon Podcast (not for faint of heart) brought you here! They were right- - What a fun performer!

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

Disney's movie "Fantasia 2000" has the same Gershwin tune in it, and I kept thinking this is Ben Vereen's dance interpretation of that song, just like the Disney one is the animation interpretation of this song.

[@franzbrod9616]

Mr.Vereen is most likely a very sincere and a warm and wonderful human being, seems so nice and big hearted.. and that beginning piece about dance and nature was entrancing.. but I guess I just dont get his style when he starts dancing and singing. doesnt appeal to me. and its too bad, because he seems like such a sweetheart of a guy. but damn is he a giant of the stage! That dude's a star!

[@psychedelicpython]

I wonder if it the small space he has to dance in?

[@Mike-jh4yu]

O I forgot you signed it chicken George xo

[@silviadalvia6545]
