🕊Wow... Peaceful transitions to the legendary, trailblazing entertainer #MauriceHines, who has passed just a few weeks after turning 80. The award-winning documentary Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back @mauricehinesmovie - a "...poignant portrait of the unapologetically Black and gay elder tap and Broadway showman" - is fantastic! Please watch to learn more about his remarkable life and career: www.mauricehinesmovie.com

Executive produced by my hero @therealdebbieallen, "Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back is an intimate portrait an intimate portrait of an outspoken showman who with humor and grace navigates the highs and lows of a seven-decade career, and a complex relationship with his superstar brother, Gregory Hines."

On This Day in New York City History February 14, 1946: Tap Dancer, actor, choreographer and singer Gregory Oliver Hines is born in New York City and raised in the Sugar Hill neighborhood of Harlem. He was born into a musical family with his father Maurice Robert Hines being a dancer, musician and actor. Hines the elder put his sons on the path to entertainment. Gregory was dancing as early as the age of 4 and performed with his brother at the legendary Harlem Venue the Apollo at the age of 6. His path through entertainment would be a lifelong endeavor.

Hines starred in such films as History of the World (1981) The Cotton Club (1984) and White Nights with Mikhail Baryshnikov (1985) Running Scared (1986) and Renaissance Man (1994). Hines also starred on TV shows and most importantly on the stage as a renowned tap dancer. He would influence such tap dancers as Savion Glover, Dianne Walker, Ted Levy and Jane Goldberg.

His accolades include Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Tony Award.

Hines would die of liver cancer at the age of 57.

Today We Honor Gregory Hines Gregory Hines began dancing as a child and went on to launch a successful Broadway, television and film career. His notable movies include The Cotton Club, White Nights, Running Scared and his appearance in Waiting To Exhale. He studied dance with master tap dancer Henry Le Tang and spent much of his early career dancing at the Apollo Theater, gleaning knowledge from such fellow performers as the Nicholas Brothers and Sandman Sims. Hines was an avid improviser of tap steps, tap sounds, and tap rhythms alike. His improvisation was like that of a drummer, doing a solo and coming up with rhythms. He also improvised the phrasing of a number of tap steps, mainly based on sound produced. "He purposely obliterated the tempos," wrote tap historian Sally Sommer, "throwing down a cascade of taps like pebbles tossed across the floor. In that moment, he aligned tap with the latest free form experiments in jazz and new music and postmodern dance."

8/9/03 I will always remember that date. We lost a tap legend. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I was even lucky enough to take a class with him. Thank you Gregory for introducing me to so many people. Thank you for sharing your love of the dance with me. I miss you. #gregoryhines #savionglover #tap https://www.instagram.com/p/ChB7uioOUEh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
