I hope that they give Maurice a stamp as well. RIP to Maurice and Gregory Hines. I loved these incredible performers ❤❤. This was truly beautiful. I admire siblings who love one another to this degree.
GOD BLESS GREGORY HINES & HIS BROTHER MAURICE HINES(I HAD MET BOTH GREGORY & MAURICE HINES BACK HOME IN NEW YORK CITY DURING THE 1980'S). GREGORY HINES WAS THE GREATEST TAP DANCER IN HISTORY!!!
When I was growing up I never knew anyone other than my family that had the name of Hines. As kids we would be joked about it and our nickname was “HINESPARTS.” I would get pissed. When I discovered Gregory and Maurice I was amazed. Great dancers and great looking guys. I wish I had met Gregory. Looking at his movies and television appearances I felt a kinship. And the duet with Luther Vandross makes me sad every time I watch it. I think Greg and I would have been GREAT FRIENDS. I would not be surprised if I found out we were related. Anyway REST IN HEAVEN “COUSIN.” You are missed😏❤️
Wonderful Maurice. Yes, he was pretty. Very, very beautiful. Seemed like a genuine guy, caring and humble I believe. So happy to find Daria. In profile, she looks exactly like her daddy. I hope their still doing ok. Blessings to the Hines family.😔🌹😔
Loved this man! Gone way too soon. Such a talent, as is his brother. I remember "Hines, Hines and Dad" from the 1960's. It was teary hearing Maurice speaking so passionately about their relationship. Daria is beautiful.
What a great warm tribute. I was lucky to see him multiple times, and even had him bring me backstage once for photos. As time passes, I tend to forget Gregory is gone. He was so alive during his life, I just assume I'll see him pop up again someplace. And I'm so happy I don't remember he's gone way too soon.
Now, he is someone I would have loved to have seen perform live. He seemed the ideal performer for a one man show. Maybe he did have one but I'm just unaware. A triple threat performer born to entertain.
Wow I so related to his brother I always felt that way about my sister. I miss Gregory he was truly part of my childhood growing up he was the man . RIP Gregory
Beautiful speech Maurice! I admire you.This love between you and Gregory is just beautiful! The memories you continue to carry of Gregory & you growing up, is just beautiful! You continue you know, to keep his spirit alive by continuously recalling the those memories growing up to the very end. You've made him proud! Maurice please visit Broadway Dance Center. lt would make Gregory happy. It would keep Gregory's legend even more alive. I'm gonna pray Gregory spirit will nag you to visit the school. Don't think its just a dream. Twice his spirit has spoken to me. I even told Barbara. She looked at me. It's a gift l have. It took me yrs. to accept it. I'm thankful to God today. Go visit Barbara Duffy's class like Gregory did. It would mean a lot to Barbara and everybody. Stay well!
Beautiful stamp! Have a few, but refuse to use them. Beautiful speech Maurice! Love the way you & Gregory got along all those years. Little shocked you were the shy one! You'd never know it! I am proud of you bringing your niece to this great event unveiling the stamp. Seeing the cohesiveness between the two if you! It's today, years have gone by and l still miss your brother. There are times I'll get angry at myself, knowing l have the gift of healing but never giving it a thought, to pull Gregory aside at Broadway Dance Center, even if it would've been in front of students, to just lay hands on him and pray over him. Pray for both of you. For your safety with all the traveling you'd often do. Pray over him, to continue to give you both, a reward for a healthier lives each time. Each time you'd share your talent with students like myself, a reward from God for sharing both of you. Especially with Students at Broadway Dance Center and within other states. The motivation Gregory gave me was just so inspiring that it has stayed with me till this day. There is no doubt it will never leave. Like l told Barbara Duffy one day, " Don't be alarmed if you see Gregory around the school for a second. It just means he's still with us." I hope one day l can return to Barbara's class. especially since l promised Gregory l wouldn't stop tapping. Please take care of yourself Maurice. We don't want to loose you too! Stay well. God Bless You!
@@kristalhart Thanks for your response. I wish they would've made that stamp while Gregory was alive. He would've gotten a kick out of it! I don't know why they always wait till one passes to do a tribute. When l had noticed Gregory stopped coming by, l asked Barbara. She said, "You know him always doing movies."l accepted that. As time went by no sign of Gregory. I told Barbara , "Barbara, not for nothing, l don't want to scare you, but l happen to be charismatic. I have the gift of prophecy since l was eleven. It took me years to accept it. I don't mean to push religion on you, but l feel something is wrong. I just hope l'm wrong." Barbara looked at me. As time went on my phone rang early in the am. I got up, ran to the tv. There it was. I called my boyfriend stating l needed to be alone. He asked if l was ok? I told him l was taking the phone off the hook. He said he'd call me later. By then l had called the school. There was a recording the school was closed that day in Gregory's honor. That week l went to class, gave Barbara a card. I stated inside she was in my thoughts. That l knew something was wrong from the start. However, she wasn't to be alarmed if she saw Gregory around for a split second. How that was normal. That it meant his spirit was still with us. That week as we began warming up, the door suddenly opened, like Gregory would. Barbara looked at me. She freaked out. I wasn't surprised. Still, l was a little upset. Mad at myself, mad at God for not giving me a sign to pull Gregory aside and pray over him. Use the gift of Healing l was given. This gift l've used on many. A gift many want and don't get. Why was l chosen l have no idea. Still, l learned to accept it. I even prayed over Frank Hatchett when he was hospitalized. Some students were there visiting. God gave Frank strength to return to teach. I was surprised. What was beautiful was when l was going to another class, Frank saw and waved to me. I was concerned like many. I especially, when we lost Richard Elner, who owned the school back then, l attended the mass and spoke out. Frank was crying like a little boy. As l returned to class many thanked me for the speech l gave. Others smiled. I thank God for these gifts.Since the death of my mother, my sister and niece behavior deprived me on returning to class. Now with this Covid and all this crime, l pray all this stops, so l can keep what Gregory had me promise him, to keep on tapping!
Stay well. Each time you get a flue shot, take 2 tylenol. Many refuse to get the shot because they get sick. It is due to the bug already being inside but one hasn't felt it yet. These shots makes the bug surface & that's why one later feels sick. The booster made me feel bloated. Have peptobismal in case you need it. It ca.e in handy when l got the booster. Take care & stay well!
@@kristalhart We must pray that all this violence stops among the youth, so we can all return safely to class without worrying about getting to and from the school. This may have scared a lot to students away. We must continue to pray for them too. In reality, for everyone.
Maurice, love how you have Daria by your side there. Your the close one next to her daddy. Then showing that love for him. Keep the legend alive. Pass down to Daria the legacy of tapping. Get her to tap! It would mean a lot to Gregory. You may even hear him tapping along with you both then in heaven! Tapping like crazy! Think about it!🎆
I hope that they give Maurice a stamp as well. RIP to Maurice and Gregory Hines. I loved these incredible performers ❤❤. This was truly beautiful. I admire siblings who love one another to this degree.
