Artist of the day - Dance Legend Gregory Hines

After seeing him dance on Sesame Street, I remember prophetically proclaiming to my then husband "Gregory Hines is going to be a big star someday!"  Of course, I was right as he went on to have success in dancing, singing and acting.  Last week I again watched his dance scene with Mikhail Baryshnikov  in the movie "White Nights" and was overcome with his talent, his presence - his enduring spirit. 
Gregory Hines & his successor, Savion Glover
I will always miss you!
