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!!!

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!!

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

@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
