I once was out walking my dog and saw him out on the sidewalk waiting for his car practicing steps. I walked quietly by and we smiled at each other. I didn't want to break them mood. It is a moment I will always remember.

What nice memories Linda. I'm sure those are the types of things he would want people to remember as well as his art.

Wow Linda, what a great memory. I found this article and thought I'd post it. It gives a good story of his life.

I didn't even hear about his passing on t.v. He was a very talented man.

I can't believe it!!!

He was one of my favorites.........

I loved that scene in "Tap" where he took everyone out of the dance club and improvised a tap fest on the street with all sorts of city sounds..... he was soooooooo good......

Rest in Peace Gregory.......

I NEVER got to see him dance in person. He was at Beau Rivage in Mississippi last November and was only about one hour away. I just didn't have the money to go. I am heartbroken now that I'll never get to see a great dance in person.

I was sorry to hear about this death. He was a great performer.
