Platinum...absolutely platinum. Never saw this television tribute, am so glad to know that both of these legends of tap did it together at least once. And what a moment of anticipation- the moment you see the close-up at 7:05 of Mr. Davis putting on his tap loafers, audience members are already screaming. When he mounts the stage (his body language almost seems to say, "really? okay, you asked for it...") the place fairly erupts. A moment of true dance and television magic.
You two are my idols I love to tap and you guys really inspire me thanks you so much for making a difference, for school we are doing a living museum I want to be Sammy Davis jr!
That was PURE love in that dance Gregory did; so much so, Sammy had to reciprocate it :). Very touching with both of them dancing tap. And the kissing of Sammy's feet had me in tears!
My mother was 95 - I was taking care of her - when we watched this telecast, and we both cried then, and I cry now, because it is so beautiful. Thank heavens for videos, when the ones we love have passed.
i love the African influenced part at the end of Mr. Hines' solo

@militantx0660 So true. Nothing compares to the old days of entertainment. True artists, true performers. Class by themselves. Sammy was the best!!
