Gregory,
I miss your smile and your great talent. You were one of a kind. God Bless you in heaven.
As we past 5 years since you’ve passed on, I am glad to have been able to witness the greatness that was you man. Please say hello to Luther, what a talent show God has
I so enjoyed his performance in White Nights with Mikael Barishnakov. He was sooo smooth in the rehearsal hall scene. It was the reason I watched the movie over and over. And, at Sammy Davis, Jr’s birthday show, he and the Grand Tapper danced together….what a treat. He was so right to kneel and kiss Sammy’s feet. But, he was really close to the perfection of any tap dancer I’ve seen.
YOUR SONG WITH LUTHER VANDROSS WILL BE CHERISHED FOREVER - WHAT A DUO!!!!!!!
I just found out Gregory passed away and I surely feel sad. I remember him in a Merv Brook movie dancing and acting as a slave in ancient Rome… many of us will surely miss him, God rest his soul.
Thank you entertaining us with your great talent Rest in peace….
