The duet with Luther is my favorite version of the song. I love Gregory Hines and his performances. Continue to rest in eternal peace and power, amen. ❤️🙏🏽😔🕊️
Agreed. The title is deceiving and completely unnecessary. I enjoyed the many accomplishments of Gregory Hines noted in this video. I remain a fan. I heard The Hines Bros mentioned but, they were also known as Hines, Hines & Dad.
There will never ever be another Gregory. Amazing talent. When he worked with Billy Crystal just 🔥🔥🔥🔥Gregory was a multifaceted talent we will never see again. He will always be missed. 🙏❤️
Great all-rounder. Dancer, Actor, Comedian, Singer . A clear jack of all entertainment and sorely missed, never forgotten. Rest in happiness with your ancestors.
I’m 55 years old this year and I can remember Gregory all through my decades … an incredible actor and what a dancer !!!! … I think he was truly more happy Tap Dancing than he was reciting lines … yeah ?? … no ?? … RIP dancer … wish you were still here … 🙏❤️💐👏🇨🇦
Growing up I had the biggest crush on this man. He was nothing short of incredible!!! His brother recently passed away in 2023. Two amazing talents. May they rest in peace!
I met him one night in a high-end L.A. restaurant. On my way to the restroom, I see Oliver Stone at a table to my right, who looked up and nodded. On my way out and going back to my table, Greg Hines was dining at a table/booth on my right. Our eyes met. He was having dinner with a woman, and I stopped dead in my tracks at his table. He looked up and smiled, knowing I recognized him, and he shook my hand. I think we extended hands simultaneously. I can easily recall the feel of that genuine handshake. I told him I admired his work so much and started to move back to my table. He introduced me to the woman he was dining with, and my girlfriend was sitting at our table, agape at seeing this. So, I called her over and introduced her to Greg and his date. He says, "Hey man I KNOW you!" I smiled and said, "I doubt that." and he insisted, "No man, I KNOW that I know you!" I said, "No man, you've met someone who LOOKS like me ... but it wasn't me." We politely disengaged and it's always been a find memory whenever he comes up. He could not have been a nicer, more polite and warm person in that situation. I was saddened when I learned he passed away just a few years later.
Mr Gregory Hines grew up with my family in Brooklyn New York, he dated my aunt and my grandmother 👵🏾 use to tell him to get his big feet off her couch.
You know he would visit our city often and go to the grade schools and middle schools to talk to the kids and I remember the last time he was here he said he would tap for a child who asked him to tap the next time that he was in town. I can only imagine that maybe he was feeling ill at the time but I don't recall what caused his death
“There’s Nothing Better Than Love” with Luther Vandross was a beautiful duet. The fact that we lost both of the legendary black entertainers far too soon, is rather sad and disheartening! What a well rounded entertainer. -RIP🕊️Gregory….
Listen to his song “So much better now” from the same album it is excellent. Not many people have heard about it even though I do remember it from the time this self titled album was released. RIP Luther Vandross & Gregory Hines you are sorely missed.
I remember when this song was released. I was a young college student. My love was just like the lyrics. Now, I'm experienced and less romantic. Sadly.
I am now 79 years young and I can remember that every appearance of Gregory Hines performing was a special event. I only own a DVD of Running Scared. I am blessed to have it. Thank you for the excellent video. ❤
HE NOT A BROTHER WHAT YOU TALKING!!!!! READ GIRL DUETERONOMY 7:3,4,6. HOSEA 4:6. READ IT. THESE ARE COMMANDMENTS!!!! YOU FOLJS HAVE JUMPED IN BED WITH YOUR ENEMIES AND THEY STILL HATE YOUR KIND. NOW THEY KILL YOYR SONS, SHOOTING YOUR FOLKS IN THE HEAD!!! BESTING THE WOMEN DOWN!!!!! WAKE UP!!!! TGEY GAVE FOOLED YOU.
@@JudahMoon Indeed. The narration is probably A.I.. All artificial. I do appreciate the life history of Gregory but the clickbait puts serious doubt in the credibility of the channel.
This doesn’t reflect at all on the credibility of the black community ! It’s time we stop taking responsibility for everything black ! (Positive or negative). If real equality is the goal then we must realize that everything done/ said by 1 person of color doesn’t reflect on the whole race!
Not to use them as a barometer, but you don’t see all white people apologizing for serial killers (Dahmer or Gacey), or other criminals (like Epstein or Weinstein). They don’t represent ALL white people, just like no one person can / should represent the variety, scope & diversity in the Black community !!! ✌🏾❤️
Listen to the song which he sung that was produced by Luther Vandross & Nat Adderley Jnr and his musicians called “So much better now” it is excellent.
White Knights, The Cotton Club (encore), Renaissance Man, Tap, and History of the World Part 1 are some of my favorite movies with him. My older brother and I loved watching his movies. I miss both Gregory Hines and my big brother 💔
I wonder why renaissance man never got much attention because it was truly a great movie. All of those actors of color who participated in the movie and wellness like Danny devito, Mark Wahlberg, Penny Marshall directing. It was a tearjerker and a good movie
I loved Gregory Hines..I saw him on Sesame Street I had a huge crush on him I can say my whole life…He was a huge talent and he is still greatly missed.
I had the opportunity to personally meet Gregory Hines in Brooklyn while he shoot some scenes of a movie in Bed Stuy Brooklyn! Jelly’s last Jam had already made a hit at this time! And I saw him while they were shooting some scenes of a Movie he was going to be in, and they were taking a break! And I walked up to Him and began talking and we talked for about 10 mins non-Stop as if we knew each other! I was really moved by our encounter and his kindness towards me! This happened somewhere between 1990-1992! I’ll always remember Gregory and his Magic as an Entertainer Par Excellence but even Greater Human Being!! 🙏🏽❤️👑 Salute well Deserved!!
He was kindhearted. I met him in 1993 and the movie renaissance man came out in 1994. I was an extra in the movie and walks up to him and said Mr Hines I am so pleased to meet you and then told him my name and he was so sweet and he took a photo with me and later on when he saw me on the set he winked at me acknowledging that he remembered haven't met me on the set earlier that day as we traveled from one set to the next to do different scenes.
He was a gentle person. I met him in Barbados 🇧🇧 while I worked as a production assistant on Sports Gutterperk, a Saturday with former Barbadian Body Builder, Roy Callender. The 2nd time I met him was my first time in New York in the Village. He wanted to know what is doing in cold NY away from sunny Barbados
R.I.P Gregory Hines don't know if you left to soon but you definitely paved the way and impacted the world for dancers, actors, actresses to keep the art of entertainment alive! With such big shoes to fill your remarkable work will never be forgotten!✌️❤️
I’ve been a super supporter of Gregory Hines since I was little being born in 83 and loving music and dance I watched movies like Tap,Grease, Sparkle,and The Wiz over and over again just to name a few we had VHS tapes back then but once I was grown I found another level of loving Gregory Hines when I saw him as and his brother in The Cotton Club their performance was Stellar and then again when he played Mr Bojangles himself which Hines never get credit for he did an Amazing job for that no one else could’ve done that role he was made specially for that role 😳❤️🎶💕 Society and / the powers that be only allow Our greats to be greats with restraints But for Greg he mentally and emotionally broke those chains 3 times and that was when Gregory was on stage, the movie Tap and you can feel his freedom in the movie Bojangles while portraying The Iconic Bill Robinson you did a good job research and educating the youngsters about Real Icons and Real Talent. Thank you Salute 💕🎶❤️
I WILL FOREVER LOVE , RESPECT & LOVE THIS MAN!! I'm 67 yrs young I miss him to this day , so Thankful for videos recordings movies and MEMORIES OF DAYS GONE BY
No need to mislead people in the title. 😏 if you know, Gregory Hines and the world of entertainment people are going to naturally watch it. Gregory Hines was the sweetest person I’ve ever met. RIP MY KING
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
A one of a kind true icon that left a void never to be filled again. Here lived, walked and tapped a great man never to be forgotten....A life well lived, will never die. Thank you Gregory for sharing your smile, your talents and your soul with us. I am truly grateful to you. You will forever remain within the cool breeze.... for you are one with it. Eternal brotherly love. ✌🏽😎👍🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
Was there ever a more talented and beautiful spirit than Gregory Hines to have passed this way in our life time. He gave us all he had to give? Gregory te quiero para siempre.
I just did research on which type of Cancers, Gregory Hines died from.It was Cance of the Liver. According to Yvette Glover, mother of Tap Dancer , Savion Glover. Rest in peace with the ancestors. ❤
I saw him in his last acting role as Bill Bojangles, and I could see that he was really sick, and not too long afterwards he died. He will be greatly missed. A true multitalented man. Miss you much.
I remember seeing Mr. Hines on Broadway in Jelly's Last Jam with my mother and grandma. They saw him in Eubie and Sophisticated Ladies on Broadway years before. And I remember his grandchild went to the preschool I taught in. I had to contain myself when he walked through the door the first time. It was lovely just seeing him be grandpa to his grandson.Then we just got used to him being there at drop off or pick up time. What a class act. I definitely miss him tapping. Watching him tap looked effortless, like I could get up and do it too. He was hilarious as Ben on Will and Grace. RIP Gregory.
Gregory Hines appeared in two movies with Whitney Houston- Waiting To Exhale & The Preacher's Wife. Sadly, he died on her 40th birthday in 2003. Then 8.5 short years later....
Confirms what?! That he could dance his 🫏 off? He and his brother were up there as two of my favorite hoofers. They also were very good singers. What a combination! I miss them.🕊
Ive always admired Hines. Its interesting how with all we as ADOS people have to deal with in society but we still decide to marry the oppressor. PTSD-Post traumatic stress disorder. So sad.
Ok Black people we have to stop with all of the click bait misleading titles crap, no matter how you spin it, it is still deceptive, it's way too much of this crap going on and it needs to stop😡😡😡
Mr. Hines was a Multi talented man. He brought joy to everyone who followed him and his career!! He is so missed! To be absent here, is to be present with our Lord! Rest in peace Mr. Hines
Iam sick and tired of TH-camrs destroying the departed ones characters. He was probably the most talented entertainer ever came around, we his fans miss him alot and may the Buddhist gods continue to rest him in peace.
I miss this guy. I met him when my brother was on Broadway in “Bring in Da Noise” and taking lessons from his teacher Henry LeTang. It was cool chopping it up with him. Truly a big loss for us all.😢
@@BebeNow He really absolutely was!!! My Aunt danced with him at The Cotton Club and another show. I met him after Jelly's Last Jam and he remembered my aunt!!!! Talked with my family & I for awhile while signing autographs!!! The absolute NICEST PERSON EVER!!!!! I hope he is tapping away up there!!!
@@misha2929 that’s beautiful! I was a dancer for 15 years . When I first met him in 1984 he was going to the same gym as my mother. She was too cute. She called me at home and told me that he was there and that I should come pick her up. So I did, and I met him, and he was so nice and so gracious. I was 14 at the time, had a major crash in many ways. What a talented man. AND he’s second wife was also very nice. I met her another time at the gym. They would workout together some times. I was strength training at that time for dance. Beautiful couple at that time.
I MET MR. HINES ON THE SANTA MONICA PROMENADE IN THE EARLY 2000'S. WE SPOKE & SAID SAVION GLOVER IS THE GREATEST EVER. WE WERE SMOKING CIGARS NEXT TO LONE WOLFE CIGARS WATCHING STREET DANCERS. REALLY COOL
I caught about the last 2 hours of this discussion. The Man represents the Nation-State in the marriage. The women and children represent your citizens. It's not a partnership. The wife may need to wear the hat of the CEO, CIO, or CFO. Teacher, Janitor, Doctor, etc... At the end of the day; the man must produce, provide, protect, secure, and defend. Of course, he must also Govern. I hope this clears that whole partnership nonsense up.
I loved watching Gregory Hines in movies but especially loved his sitcom. As a teenager he had me hooked by singing the duet with Luther Vandross. RIP Gregory Hines ..
It seems unreal that it’s been 21 years! He was a triple threat talent: dancing, singing & acting. So sorry to hear of his brother Maurice’s, who was equally talented, ecent passing.
Gregory Hines life & career is very inspiring!!!! He has returned from the dead more times than his passing!!!! He showed that if you have ambition combined with passion, you become a force that can't be stopped!!!!! REST IN PARADISE!!!!👏👏👏👏
This man is one of my favorite entertainers EVER he's is apart of my up bringing i loved the movies running scared and the cotton club i dont think he is has gotten his just due he was a amazingly talented human being
"Running Scared" is a fantastic cop/buddy film. Love it! And yes, I have his cd, which I adore. I could have watched him read the phone book - though if he'd have done it while dancing that would have been better. Loved him as an entertainer, and he will always be missed.
I remember flying home to Jersey and my sister and I few into LaGuardia… Ran into Gregory Hines walking through the airport and we flipped out… Got hug and Autograph. He was at least 6’5
He didn't seem that tall to me, maybe 6 feet if that but he did have on a cap and I also had on Flats and in the photo he didn't look that tall unless I was about to pass out😂 now Danny DeVito on the other hand might have come to my shoulder maybe a little above and I have a long head🤔
@@sconiersclan 😂😂 I understand but I had reached my full adult height by age 13 and that wasn't very tall just average height for a woman though. Anyway I just looked it up and he was 6 ft tall
He just dropped a serious diamond he said “I work through what I’m goin through when I’m dancing” “ I try not to think about what I’m creating and just create” I love it!
"Shine sweet freedom shine the light on thee...." he sung backround on micheal mcdonalds song from the movie Running Scared,listen for it/watch the video. Great guy!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
Gregory Hines was an all-around talented man. There's a jazz song he did, "So Nobody Else Can Hear" on an album by Jimmy Cobb featuring Freddie Hubbard & Gregory Hines & Bill Cosby titled same as the song. For the jazz lovers, do check it out, I don't believe you will be disappointed. He sure is missed!
One of my favorites by him is “.Something to Live For“ by Billy Strayhorn. He sang it in the musical “Sophisticated Ladies” on Broadway, with another musical legend - Phylis Hyman.
His duet with Luther vandross "there is nothing better than love" ❤ is classic rest in peace Mr Hines
I love this song! It's on repeat on my playlist.
He was excellent In the Mr. Bojangles movie.👍🙂
@@calvthomas6153I think I'm going to watch that video tonight.
The duet with Luther is my favorite version of the song. I love Gregory Hines and his performances. Continue to rest in eternal peace and power, amen. ❤️🙏🏽😔🕊️
One of the best! ❤❤❤
Great video, but the title is MISLEADING. no need to mislead. Many people will watch the video anyway, as Gregory Himes was beloved by many.
Absolutely I was saying the same thing
Totally. Don't appreciate
Agreed 👍🏼 😅
I hate when channels do this. I’m almost tempted to discontinue watching!
Exactly! Straight click bait!!!
The title of this video is the definition of "CLICKBATE" and it was unnecessary. The mini documentary was good.
Agreed. The title is deceiving and completely unnecessary. I enjoyed the many accomplishments of Gregory Hines noted in this video. I remain a fan. I heard The Hines Bros mentioned but, they were also known as Hines, Hines & Dad.
I agree
Be sure to thumb it down.
I was confused and then angry at that to wtf
True
There will never ever be another Gregory. Amazing talent. When he worked with Billy Crystal just 🔥🔥🔥🔥Gregory was a multifaceted talent we will never see again. He will always be missed. 🙏❤️
Gregory/his brother were pretty good tap dancing.but Gregory had a little more talent with the acting/the singing.
@@user-yj9rw2oh7l I had the privilege of meeting him, truly a great man
Great all-rounder. Dancer, Actor, Comedian, Singer . A clear jack of all entertainment and sorely missed, never forgotten. Rest in happiness with your ancestors.
I’m 55 years old this year and I can remember Gregory all through my decades … an incredible actor and what a dancer !!!! … I think he was truly more happy Tap Dancing than he was reciting lines … yeah ?? … no ?? … RIP dancer … wish you were still here … 🙏❤️💐👏🇨🇦
As another 55 year old fan of Brother Gregory I cosign your statement
I'll be 54 this year. I love the way Gregory dances.
He was an amazing dancer
I just turned 55 this year and I loved Gregory Hines..I loved the movie " White Nights"..He was a excellent dancer and actor..
Legend
Growing up I had the biggest crush on this man. He was nothing short of incredible!!! His brother recently passed away in 2023. Two amazing talents. May they rest in peace!
Me too! So sexy he was.
Me too…….
So crazy me too lol
I met him one night in a high-end L.A. restaurant. On my way to the restroom, I see Oliver Stone at a table to my right, who looked up and nodded.

He could not have been a nicer, more polite and warm person in that situation. I was saddened when I learned he passed away just a few years later.
This is a memory to cherish. 🙌🏾😊
Wowww it’s been that long?! He was so talented.
Yes. He was.❤
White Knights was one of my favorite movies, he had a scene talking about the racism in America that was epic, he was really talented ❤️
That's the one girl, the best movie ever that showed almost all of his talent
The click bait title was completely unnecessary. 🙄🙄🙄
Gregory Hines was a gem that left us far too soon. 👑👑👑
Mr Gregory Hines grew up with my family in Brooklyn New York, he dated my aunt and my grandmother 👵🏾 use to tell him to get his big feet off her couch.
😂😢
LOL
Oh how wonderful, wasn't he a nice guy? I only spent a day with him on the set of Renaissance Man and I just knew
You know he would visit our city often and go to the grade schools and middle schools to talk to the kids and I remember the last time he was here he said he would tap for a child who asked him to tap the next time that he was in town. I can only imagine that maybe he was feeling ill at the time but I don't recall what caused his death

What rumors was confirmed? You didn’t say anything that we weren’t aware of…
Disappointed? 😒
Classic clickbait
The movie " Running Scared" was my favorite along with the song by Michael McDonald " Sweet Freedom" from the sound track. innocent times.
Stop the clickbait please.
We already have too little integrity in the black community.
His family confirmed what rumors?
You noticed she didn’t respond. That’s very low integrity!
@@JudahMoon Indeed. The narration is probably A.I.. All artificial. I do appreciate the life history of Gregory but the clickbait puts serious doubt in the credibility of the channel.
You might get people once or twice, but after that, you lose credibility and and trust and they lose interest.

GREGORY & LUTHER,…….BEYOND LEGENDARY. 🫡 DEEPLY MISSED!!! 🥺🙏🏾😞
Listen to the song which he sung that was produced by Luther Vandross & Nat Adderley Jnr and his musicians called “So much better now” it is excellent.
Best male duet ever witnessed
Gregory, Luther and brother Maurice RIP 😢

It wasm't the Hines trio it was Hines, Hines & Dad.
🎯. Bingo ! 😉👍
William do you know any details of how his duet with Luther developed to fruition?
There was also Hines, Hines & Brown with Johnny Brown aka Bookman from Good Times

What an amazing talent! White Nights was one of my favorite movies, and loved the duet with Luther!
He was an accomplished dancer. And I liked that he was able to dance with Sammy Davis Jr. Running Scared was a great movie. So was Wolfen. RIP 🙏🏾
Gregory Hines appeared in two movies with Whitney Houston- Waiting To Exhale & The Preacher's Wife. Sadly, he died on her 40th birthday in 2003. Then 8.5 short years later....

Gregory Hines was the nicest sweetest most humble man I have ever met and he loved us bodybuilders. To know him was to love him
I loved him in White knights & waiting to exhale 😅✌️❤️😌. Brother Gregory R.I.P.
Confirms what?! That he could dance his 🫏 off? He and his brother were up there as two of my favorite hoofers. They also were very good singers. What a combination! I miss them.🕊
Ive always admired Hines. Its interesting how with all we as ADOS people have to deal with in society but we still decide to marry the oppressor. PTSD-Post traumatic stress disorder. So sad.
What is ADOS??
Sounds like your the real oppressor.
Love is Love. Take it where you find it.
Worshiping melanin won't save you.
Thanks for sharing with us a detailed insight of the life of our good brother Gregory!!
Ok Black people we have to stop with all of the click bait misleading titles crap, no matter how you spin it, it is still deceptive, it's way too much of this crap going on and it needs to stop😡😡😡
Mr. Hines was a Multi talented man. He brought joy to everyone who followed him and his career!! He is so missed! To be absent here, is to be present with our Lord! Rest in peace Mr. Hines
Iam sick and tired of TH-camrs destroying the departed ones characters. He was probably the most talented entertainer ever came around, we his fans miss him alot and may the Buddhist gods continue to rest him in peace.
I can't believe so many forgotten memories until I saw these clips. Especially the 90's😮😮
*RIP Mr. Hines."
I miss this guy. I met him when my brother was on Broadway in “Bring in Da Noise” and taking lessons from his teacher Henry LeTang. It was cool chopping it up with him. Truly a big loss for us all.😢
Not just an incredible & talented dancer, but the Nicest SWEETEST man you will ever meet!!! Fly High Angel! ❤
Omg I just commented something SIMILAR he was the sweetest person I’ve ever met.
@@BebeNow He really absolutely was!!! My Aunt danced with him at The Cotton Club and another show. I met him after Jelly's Last Jam and he remembered my aunt!!!! Talked with my family & I for awhile while signing autographs!!! The absolute NICEST PERSON EVER!!!!! I hope he is tapping away up there!!!
@@misha2929 that’s beautiful!
I was a dancer for 15 years . When I first met him in 1984 he was going to the same gym as my mother. She was too cute. She called me at home and told me that he was there and that I should come pick her up. So I did, and I met him, and he was so nice and so gracious. I was 14 at the time, had a major crash in many ways. What a talented man. AND he’s second wife was also very nice. I met her another time at the gym. They would workout together some times. I was strength training at that time for dance.
Beautiful couple at that time.
I MET MR. HINES ON THE SANTA MONICA PROMENADE IN THE EARLY 2000'S. WE SPOKE & SAID SAVION GLOVER IS THE GREATEST EVER. WE WERE SMOKING CIGARS NEXT TO LONE WOLFE CIGARS WATCHING STREET DANCERS. REALLY COOL
I caught about the last 2 hours of this discussion. The Man represents the Nation-State in the marriage. The women and children represent your citizens. It's not a partnership. The wife may need to wear the hat of the CEO, CIO, or CFO. Teacher, Janitor, Doctor, etc... At the end of the day; the man must produce, provide, protect, secure, and defend. Of course, he must also Govern. I hope this clears that whole partnership nonsense up.
I loved watching Gregory Hines in movies but especially loved his sitcom. As a teenager he had me hooked by singing the duet with Luther Vandross. RIP Gregory Hines ..
It seems unreal that it’s been 21 years! He was a triple threat talent: dancing, singing & acting. So sorry to hear of his brother Maurice’s, who was equally talented, ecent passing.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF KING GREGORY HINES👑BRAVO 👏🏼 🙏🏽👑👏🏼
I hope he knew how good he was.
Gregory Hines life & career is very inspiring!!!! He has returned from the dead more times than his passing!!!! He showed that if you have ambition combined with passion, you become a force that can't be stopped!!!!! REST IN PARADISE!!!!👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the memories really miss you see you on the other side
Truly missed, they forgot to mention The Preachers Wife ❤

Nothing revealed!

Loved him in Waiting to Exhale 😍...
Gregory Hines was magic, Handsome down to earth, and caring man, I loved his smile.❤👑
This BS is why i go to the comments first
I'll be 50 this year, and I loved watching Gregory Hines over the years.
"Running Scared" is a fantastic cop/buddy film. Love it! And yes, I have his cd, which I adore. I could have watched him read the phone book - though if he'd have done it while dancing that would have been better. Loved him as an entertainer, and he will always be missed.
I remember flying home to Jersey and my sister and I few into LaGuardia… Ran into Gregory Hines walking through the airport and we flipped out… Got hug and Autograph. He was at least 6’5
He didn't seem that tall to me, maybe 6 feet if that but he did have on a cap and I also had on Flats and in the photo he didn't look that tall unless I was about to pass out😂 now Danny DeVito on the other hand might have come to my shoulder maybe a little above and I have a long head🤔
@@sable7114 I was only 13 years old he was tall to me
@@sconiersclan 😂😂 I understand but I had reached my full adult height by age 13 and that wasn't very tall just average height for a woman though. Anyway I just looked it up and he was 6 ft tall
RIP Gregory you were an exceptional person.
He just dropped a serious diamond he said “I work through what I’m goin through when I’m dancing” “ I try not to think about what I’m creating and just create” I love it!
He is truly missed Rest my brother
Thanks for sharing this and Love and Light always Iva ❤🎉
He had way too much talent for one person. Loved him!
"Shine sweet freedom shine the light on thee...." he sung backround on micheal mcdonalds song from the movie Running Scared,listen for it/watch the video. Great guy!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
Hines radiated kindness. Wonderful man.
He died…OMG, I definitely thought he like most older artists just gracefully removed his self from the spot light due to age! 😢😢❤❤
Gregory Hines was an all-around talented man. There's a jazz song he did, "So Nobody Else Can Hear" on an album by Jimmy Cobb featuring Freddie Hubbard & Gregory Hines & Bill Cosby titled same as the song. For the jazz lovers, do check it out, I don't believe you will be disappointed. He sure is missed!
One of my favorites by him is “.Something to Live For“ by Billy Strayhorn. He sang it in the musical “Sophisticated Ladies” on Broadway, with another musical legend - Phylis Hyman.
That was a great song
King❤❤❤
