I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Hines in the 90s while working at a Hotel. Hines was in town filming "A Rage in Harlem". I was the Doorman so I would speak with him daily and he was very friendly and always asked us how we were doing. After a couple weeks I asked Mr. Hines if he could sign something for my Grandmother Mary Lou. My shift was over and my Grandparents were meeting me to go to dinner and were standing a half a block down the street. I motioned to them one moment. Mr. Hines said of course to signing the autograph and then I mentioned that her down the street and he took off running to her calling her name "Mary Lou, Mary Lou I have your autograph" and then gave her a big hug. Boy oh boy was she beaming the rest of the night. I like to think they met again in Heaven and laughed about it. It's a great memory for me. RIP Grandmother and Mr. Gregory Hines.

Gregory Hines has never been spotlighted as he should. He was a true performer. Multi talented and one the greatest personalities ever. He was a triple threat (dancer, singer and actor) and was sooo entertaining to watch.The electrifying vibe between him and the late great Sammy Davis Junior was amazing. The current generation truly missed something great

He and his family Lived right next to my grandparents and parents in Harlem. They were all very close net families. My grandmother remembers him growing up and playing with my parents. I met him when I was very young, but I was too young to know anything back in those days. He hung out mostly with my uncle and aunt Shirley.🤷🏼

I first saw him in the Los Angeles production of Sophisticated Ladies at the Dorothy Chandler pavilion in 1982, he was magic. I enjoyed him in the occasional movie, and laughed hard when he had an ongoing role on Will & Grace. But I got to meet him and talk to him several times at St. Monica's Catholic Church Sunday evenings waiting for mass to begin. (You had to go early if you wanted a good seat!) By that point he was very skinny and obviously unwell, but he still had his warm, welcoming smile and still cracked wry jokes. I was sad when I later heard he had passed away. He was truly a gift and he never stopped giving.

[@roberthayes2593]

I'm an older dude. But I fell I love with this guy when the movie" Wolfen" came out. He was different from a lot of the black male actors I had seen. He didn't tap in that movie. I didn't know anything about him being a dancer. His Afro was just INSANE to me. And he had this kind of laid back hipness to him. Like he knew something that everyone else didn't. I'm gonna keep this short, I'm not at the eulegy, but this guy ment a lot to me. A lot. R.I.P. Gregory. ....❤😂❤❤. I swear I could do an HOUR on this. Say high to my MOM when you see HER.

I used to see Gregory Hines in midtown NYC in the 90's . I used to see him so much that my he always acknowledged me , and I acknowledged him . People would see me speak to him and thought I knew him. It wasn't that I worked for different businesses in midtown. The last time I saw him he was going to the knick game. I worked at 2 Penn Plaza so the garden is right behind were I worked. He spoke to me as usual, I spoke to him. That was the last time I ever saw him. He was very approachable, and very nice, he was so humble. As big as a star as he was you would think he would be rude. I met many other entertainers and they were rude. Gregory Hines was totally the opposite. Nice guy , at least he was to me .
