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!
