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….
I miss watching Gregory Hines, he was a Great Talent, & although I never met him, he was a real decent man to watch, I 1st saw him & his older brother on; “Sesame Street”, I’m sorry he’s gone, yet he left behind a decent legacy, & his children & grandchildren are part of that legacy.
tap was a good movie
Gregory was a true role model for others to emulate. He will be sorely missed for his grace as a actor, dancer, and humanitarian. His legacy lives in those who witnessed his talent. Rest in peace my friend..and may God bless your family!

Didn’t like some of his films but he was one of the best and talented tap dancers in the industry. A shame to loose him at the prime of his career. Rest in peace.
talented tap dancer, loved him with billy crystal and he was great in that russian movie white nights. deeply missed.
I just watched White Nights and couldn’t remember what he died of so I looked it up. What a talented man he was & he is missed by all.
What a beautiful human! You are a legend my friend. In my mind I play over and over the duet you did with Luther Vandross “Nothing Better Than Love”…what a timeless piece. You are forever in my heart.
Marvelous talent, and smooth…Man, so smooth!
You were the best. I really miss you. Tap is one of my favorite movies. You were awesome in it and White Knights. I’m sorry you had to leave this world so soon.
