Episode description

On August 9, 2003, Gregory Hines – the legendary tap dancer, actor, and singer whose unparalleled rhythm and charismatic performances revitalized the art of tap dancing for new generations – died of liver cancer at the age of 57. Hines’ passing came after a private battle with the disease, which he had kept largely out of the public eye. Though his career spanned decades, from Broadway to Hollywood, Hines’ effortless style, innovation, and passion left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry and on all those who were inspired by his artistry.
