[HorrorBuffy]

I honestly don't care who originated it. This is beautiful!

[prince621622]

Ben Vereen was called the "Entertainers Entertainer". This video brings back so many wonderful memories of watching his wonderful magic on stage. He truly is a gifted entertainer, his passion for entertaining and dancing is comes from his heart. Thank you Ben,

Watching Ben move is like watching cream pour from a jug.

Gary (BOJANGLES) in the Broadway company of DANCIN'// This piece was named by Bob Fosse--"Recollections of an Old Dancer"--and BEN is not doing Bob's choreography!! I can hardly wait to see what version they decide to do in the new DANCIN' that is supposed to open in NYC in Fall of 2012!! AT LEAST GIVE IT THE NAME THAT "BOB" TITLED IT!!!

[mjandcbreezyfan14]

i first heard this song on so you think you can dance and fell in love with it ever since. its like a lullaby to me

[littlesongbird1]

I saw this show on our chorus class trip to see a musical. We even got to mr. ben vereen!

[vamoalla9]

So Bojangles started life as a skinny Chinese man?

[dancinman17]

CHEAP IMITATION!! Sorry Ben!

[letchugo]

Beautiful! Great voice 2

[rickstonesvids]

[KadeshLeMort]

IS IT PRONOUNCED FOSS OR FOZZY?

[elphielover247]

@KadeshLeMort Fosse is pronounced fossy.

[Conkabar]

the single point when Vereen and Liang make contact in the fall. heart-wrenching. i think i recall gasping a little when i first saw it.

[cpramir]

Delicious!!

[dancinman17]

NO GUYS---THIS IS CUTE--BUT THE BEST VERSION (AND THE ORIGINAL---WHICH BY THE WAY WAS CALLED BY *BOB*--"RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD DANCER") WAS DONE IN "DANCIN" IN 1978 AND WAS BEAUTIFULLY ARTICULATED BY NONE OTHER THAN WAYNE CILENTO//DANCED BY CHRIS CHADMAN AND GREGORY DROTAR! PEACE, BOB

[rckymtnhighusa]

@dancinman17 I would love to see the original version that you are speaking of. Could you please tell me if there is anywhere that I might be able to find that version and view it? Thank You

[dancinman17]

@rckymtnhighusa

SORRY--but they were NOT into videos when I performed this piece on B'Way in 1978! I don't think there is any way you could see the ORIGINAL piece that BOB FOSSE choreographed on ME---unless you want to see me do it!! Ben's version--while interesting--IS HIS OWN--AND NOT CHOREOGRAPHED BY BOB FOSSE-PERIOD!!

[PeekabooS1]

So beautiful. I'm in tears.

[gemzee82]

Brad Anderson, you so would.

its official, Bob Fosse is a genius :')

[syork1101]

Is this beautiful or what?

[totallyhotonj]

This song can reduce me to tears.

[cdcotr]

[lucylizzy1992]

[holidayny]

I fell in love with Brad Anderson on Broadway.
