pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

I hope there is a child out there who wants to grow up and be like Gregory Hines R.I.P.!
Hopefully. I think Zavion Glover studied with him before he, Gregory Hines, died.
@@Caramel1806 yes Savion is carrying the torch now & teaching & proliferating the knowledge & footwork forward!!!!
Multitudes of them.

Can't believe Gregory Hines is gone... what an amazing talent!!!
Lol its been 20 yrs
Died so young RIP Mr Hines Thanks For all The Memories Sir
I hope there is a master still out there to teach a child who is inspired to be the next Gregory Hines.
Savion glover!
Absolutely brilliant! Gregory, you are sorely missed. What an inspiration you are!
My favorite tap dancer of all-time! There will never be another Gregory Hines.....NEVER! RIP my brother!
I’m watching this with tears in my eyes. 😢
Me too! Happy tears!
Gregory Hines was magical!
Such an AMAZING dancer who continues to inspire me & many others to this day. May his genius live on & may he RIP.
Nothing like a CZcams ad to take you out of a euphoric trance...
OH HOW I HATE CZcams FOR THAT!!!
It’s was the taking the jacket off while still tapping in motion for me riff after riff!!!
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 CZcams, we will ALL be better for it. Thanks!
He was absolutely mesmerizing! Such a wonderful talent that we lost.
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.
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
The legend is gone, he will sorely be missed. RIP Gregory Oliver Hines
Lol dude he's been dead 20 yrs
Please don't forget about the Nicolas BROTHERS!!!!! wowwwwwwwww
He was beautiful and talented
Yes ma'am he was.😍
Ahhhh, so handsome all over....I miss this man. 🍃🌿☘️🌱🌸
He was gorgeous...so sad he is gone...😢
He was excellent! God bless you. Thank God for this wonderful talent. 🙏
He's just THE COOLEST.
I remember watching him as a kid and I thought he was amazing.
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.
Dear beautiful Gregory, now his brother Maurice has joined him, but I wish they were still here. 😢
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.
You expressed him well. You can feel his goodness and pure kindness. Thank you for sharing. 🍃🌱🌸☘️🌿🍃
@@user-ls9rz3pl1j Thank you
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.
Damn, I’ll never get tired of watching him dance.
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.
last true hoofer of our time
Gregory Hines the King!!!! 👑
This amazing man died way too young. He was so effortless.
I remember when he passed I was staying at a hotel and they dropped the news paper at my door it read Gregor Hines passed away man he was a great dancer he is definitely missed
Dancer performer Exstrodanair RIP you're missed Brother
What an incredible tap dancer Gregory Hines is and to think that Gregory Himes even learned from the incredible Nicholas Brothers also
Master Dancer!
some guys are just cool.meaning of cool here.
God...I miss this man...hope he's entertaining everyone in Heaven!
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. 💕💕
I wish I could have seen him in person.
Would you like to learn how to tap?
I'm doing him for my Black History Month project! *I wanna be like him now*
I’m trying to get my daughter to do her project on him too!
He is the definition of a master class OG! I can’t stop watching it over and over.
He does really knows how to dance! This is some epic moves!!! awesome B)
Yep! True talent. Such a delight. TY for posting.
100% talent
ONE of the most talented Brotha's ever. I mean when you can sing a song with Luther Vandross!!! C'mon man
For my money - the absolute best!
I miss this man.
I hate that tap dancing came and went too soon. So grateful I was shown Tap as a kid. Rip Gregory Hines.
Simply amazing. Such a talent.
Legend ...
Gregory Died too young
Wonderful tap dancer
I remember watching him in a film called White Nights in 1985 with Mikhail Baryshnikov
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴🏴
Very Amazing! I’m thinking the one person that unliked this video has no feet. Sorry about that, but learn to TAP on your hands. Then, maybe you might be able to give a thumbs up.
He's dancing w/ Maurice again.. and dad.. Hines Hines & dad.. saw them growing up in the catskills..
Real talents
He was the man!!

Yeeees huney
Ion think people get THATS HIS FEET😱😱😱😱😱 WOW
anyone know what this performance was from? Or where it was performed at?
What sorcery is this? Rest in peace, Gregory Hines, I hope you're also singing a diet with Luther
No Ice Cream Sunday ?
Obviously an alien, no human can tap like that
His name is Gregory HINES, not Heins. Just sayin'.
Thank you for the correct spelling! Much appreciated.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THE STOP TIME “ BUM BA BUM BAAA BUM “ PIECE HINES STARTED TAPPING TO? IS IT A JAZZ STANDARD OR SOMETHING HINES COMPOSED HIMSELF?
something he composed himself i had my band lift it i think i have a chart of it somewhere laying around

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....
This brotha was cold on the dance floor. Genuine off the floor too!!!
What is the name of the song they are playing
02:25
r.ip. Gregory on this the annv. of your death and we know you are dancing in heaven maybe with sammy and fred too!
All I can think of is Happy Feet
