- By popular demand, here is the dextrous, dazzling, dynamic tap dancing duo of writer/comedian Steve Martin and tap dance legend Gregory Hines. When I recorded this on my Betamax in 1981, I never dreamed I would be able to share it with thousands of viewers on this web site. This has always been one of the most watched videos of my collection.

God, I miss Gregory Hines sweet face.
Kate Reaves ....yeah couldn't agree more ...a really beautiful (&talented) guy who kept his illness to himself in till almost the end.....
A CLASS ACT ... 🌷
me too kate
I do as well. Such a loss.
I loved him! Running Scared is one of my all time fav movies. I watch it once a year.
Me too. So much.
mad props to Steve Martin for keeping up with Gregory Hines
Okaeeee!!!!
I Thank it's the other way around.
As a life long tapper I thought Gregory Hines was very gracious and generous to a nebiw like Steve Martin. It also took tremendous balls for Steve to dance side by side with him!
Steve's dancing was great, but I know Hines went easy on him. I was kind of hoping for a moment when he just opens up and slays Martin, but he was a gracious man. No disrespect at all to Martin because he is obviously pretty good, but he "kept up" with Hines because Hines held back for him.
Steve looks natural effortless love it
Steve is not a newbe
@@erinfraise7661 If you say so.
all you ever need to know, is that one time... this happened
Steve Martin is much more than he seems.
For real!!!
I want Hines to be alive and have a recurring role as an Arconia resident on Season Four of Only Murders In The Building.
I so miss him.
Gregory Hines , one of the GREAT entertainers!
who knew steve could tap? lucky to dance with gregory.
What an incredible find! I've seen so much of Steve Martin, but I've never seen this footage before. Gregory Hines is of course an absolute master, and of course he's technically the better dancer, but right back to The Jerk, there's something about Steve's dancing that has always, always brought me joy. You can tell he moves his feet in a fairly standard way for a tap dancer, but from the waist up there's just an uncontrollably joyous energy to how he moves that puts a smile on my face every time. It's something more than "laughter comedy." It's a shared happiness that runs very deep.
If Steve is ever casted on Dancing With the Stars that season would be over with
Good nod to Singing in the rain!
I love how there are several points while dancing that from the waist up Steve Martin's posture and motions are unmistakably his - to the point where you could cover his face and recognize him anyway.
No one moves like Steve Martin
Wild and crazy guy! What show was this
For sure!!!
Love Gregory Hines. He is missed
LOVE how they do sing, have a KILLER dance break, then belt it out after all that dancin! True performers!!!!
Wow, didn't know Steve was that good.
I know, it surprised me...
I know! Right!!! He could really yodel, too!
Notice how Greg Hines' singing is just as rhythmic as his dancing. You can hear it as soon as he starts singing; listen to the 'bounce' he gives to the words, and notice that Steve does not do this. Truly motivated by rhythm!
That's cuz Greg is black. However, Steve was born a poor black child.
Steve Martin did a nice job. This was back when people on TV and in movies had talent!
where has all the sweet hardworking talent gone? Now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!
This is simply amazing! Gregory Hines is unparalleled, but Steve keeps up with him very well.
This was so much fun n 👏🏻. I have always loved Gregory Hines, he was so talented, a wonderful dancer, a gifted singer and a talented actor. A true triple threat❤️ Not to mention he was adorable. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸
I miss those musical movies...
💖🇺🇲👍🏻😊
That was just fantastic.
Dripping in multi-talent. Legends on screen. Appreciate them while we have them.
This is wonderful! If anyone else has copies of Steve Martin's specials from the 70's and '80's please, please please put them up! I remember this special so well and cracked up when I heard that line again, "Hey, that's what I was gonna do!"
Daaammmnnnn! I never saw this before.
Thank you for sharing. I am a huge Gregory Hines fan. I was surprised and amazed at Steve Martin's dance and tap skills. He is far more than just a funny man as well. I knew he was talented, but never knew he could dance like that. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks again for sharing.
I also didn't know how well Steve could dance. I'm sure it would take me YEARS to even begin to approach such proficiency. He also is very talented on the banjo. The show business habit of type casting performers can certainly deprive entertainers of showcasing their multiple talents.
Martin was taking his training seriously. Whoa
THERE WAS NO ONE BETTER THAN GREGORY….THE CLASS OF CARY GRANT AND THE DANCING OF ASTAIRE AND KELLY COMBINED….JUST LOVED HIM💕💕💕
Gregory Hines - a huge talent gone for ever. Always knew Steve Martin must be a dancer because he moves so well on film
Today audience could not respectfully enjoy entertainment like this
Gregory Hines IS a true Talent No Dought He Is In Heaven
God ALLWAYS Calls Upon The Good Ones To Early.
Sum this performance up in 3 words! Classic, Priceless,Timeless. RIP Gregory Hines
Just fantastic, Steve Martin is a modern day Danny Kaye...he's not just a great tapper but also has a real good voice. I wonder how he keeps in such good shape!
Yes and just to think Gregory Hines is a better singer and dancer than either of them.
What a treasure!
I love this! By his own admission it took Steve Martin 6 months to learn how to tap dance for Pennies From Heaven and another 4 to film one of the great tap sequences. Pennies was a very unappreciatd 1981 movie - average audiences were not up to the task of understanding the clever, dark references and the Busby Berkley style dance numbers.
Gregory Hines is so classy in this clip. As the superior dancer - 33years to Martin 8 months - he took the high road and let Steve Martin shine.
In fairness, it was not well received because it paled by comparison to the BBC original starring Bob Hoskins. It was too glitzy and missed the point of the Potter original.
Dancers should be shown if full view not just the feet or the from the waist up.
Good dancing and showmanship on both Greg and Steve. Thanks for the video.
RIP Gregory Hines we still miss you.
WOW!!!
i did not know that Steve Martin had moves like that! haha i am in complete and utter shock!! go martin!! :D
How did I barely find this vid....Steve martin 🙌
i was SO SAD when this video disappeared from youtube a couple years ago. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK!!!
Steve has been dancing for more than 8 months. That was obviously a fib. These guys are natural dancers. They are both so talented.
Wonderful- love Gregory Hines, and with Steve Martin. Delightful to watch. So much- love joy humor here
I think that Steve Martin is possibly the most talented man entertainer that has ever lived. Is there anything he can't do?
Frikken right on.... He's just one of those rare guys that can do anything he puts himself to.... and does it GREAT! I watched a 2008 movie "Traitor", gritty action thriller, and when I saw that it was written by Steve Martin, I basically said exactly what you said..."Is there anything he can't do?".
I've realize that Comedians, when they are "good'... chances are, they can excel in serious roles too... seriously..:-)
Kevin Pollak, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Seth Rogan, Jack Black, Wayons bros, Bill Murry, Jamie Foxx, Whoopie Goldberg... to name just a few
Sammy Davis Jr. was the same
Both of these guys are amazing. Gregory Hines may have been the last of the great tap dancers and Martin moves so strangely that it's excellent!
There are no performers with this must talent anymore.
Gregory Hines tap dancing is (oh, fan myself and think) my almost favorite thing. I will sit here and watch and dream.
I knew Gregory Hines was a Great Dancer, was not aware he had passed! RIP Great Man! I am AMAZED at Steve Martins dancing ability whether it took him 6 months or 25 years simply doesn’t matter! Bravo! Bravo Gentlemen!
Steve is pretty good 😊💯 even watching him from pennies from heaven 1981
Omg this was so awesome to see! Tap is so fun looking! More people should do it...
😂Every time I see Gregory Hines dance on film I curse the cancer that took him from us so early. I watched him dance with his father and brother when the kids were children. His brother died recently, so there mist be some mighty dancing in heaven.
Bravo bravo bravo!
Just can't believe half of this duo has already been gone for sometime now. So, glad Steve is still sharing his talents. What an Act! Gregory Hines and Steve Martin! Always a favorite for me. Thanks for taping it! ♡
Thank you for sharing this!! Steve Martin surely must have been dancing a little longer by that point, but he does seem a natural at anything requiring impeccable rhythm - music, dance, and comedy!
Steve Martin really ROCKED that time step.
He's got happy feet!
Two Greats !!!
This is incredible.
Pure Joy..........both! Miss Gregory Hines! He was the BEST!
Most watched video since 1981 and still is such good shape....
Us Betamax fanatics knew something, didn't we?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
WOW!!!!!
БРАВО !!!

I never knew Steve Martin could tap dance?!

Love this, made my day.
Steve Martin can tap! Who knew? I didn't. FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks for sharing.
No one moves like Steve Martin
Gregory Hines is great and Steve Martin did great. Thank you for this. Made me remember dancing on TV in my youth. I was never close to this.
i remember this like it was yesterday...this is truly classic, many thx for posting. There was also an Eric Idle sketch about Stonehenge
GregoryHines R.I.P. He was a fantastic dancer & I loved Steve Martin in " PENNIES FROM HEAVEN" He did some great dancing himself.This was the best dance Routine,? Since I saw James Cagney & Bob Hope dancing together in the Movie " THE SEVEN LITTLE FOYS"
This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. Especially those of us who weren't even alive when this aired.
Delightful! Uch...where did these days go?
GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO .
Wow! I didn't know Steve could tap. Thanks for sharing!
And happy we are you did record this...thank you
This brings back some great memories.
Not just Steve Martin and that white suit, but it was great to hear Don Pardo's voice again and see Howard Shore from the pre-Lord of the Rings days.
Steve can just about anything. Awesome vid clip.
Excellent
Best of the best. Thank you for allowing me to watch. Over and over and over.......
Thank you for posting this! I admire both these men so much! RIP Gregory!
Man they did that!
Awesome, I love watching Gregory Hines tap. Steve Martin was great.
Hey that’s what I was gonna do! Hilarious!
as a tapper, who Fn new Steve could do this!!
That was just plain fun to watch. They were both amazing, dancing AND singing.
Oh my, that just made my morning!
Before I saw this, I was sure that Steve Martin was going to ham it up. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. Steve has is known to be a perfectionist. He probably dove into this endeavour "feet first."
Amazing
The good news? In late 2012, a 3-DVD collection Martin's television stuff was released. The title? "Steve Martin: The Television Stuff." Yeah - available from Amazon.
OMG! I love this SO much! From my favorite movie, performed by my favorite modern Vaudevillians
holy cow! I never, ever thought I'd see this again. How COOL!
thank you :3
