	Telegraph \| News \| Gregory Hines
		Hines himself grew up to be an exceptionally graceful tapper, yet one always alive to the aural as well as visual possibilities of the form, using his feet to build jazzy, expressive rhythms of varying density and volume, all conjured from something as prosaic as the shifting of weight from one foot to the other.
		Hines was a charming and usually phlegmatic man, but his failure to win any of the three awards rankled with him, a bitterness that was not assuaged until 1992, when he was voted Best Actor for his portrayal of Jelly Roll Morton, the jazz pioneer who denied his fl ancestry, in Jelly's Last Jam.
		Hines completed a trio of hoofing films with Tap (1989), an improbable yarn in which he was torn between tap-dancing and cat-burgling, although it did provide cameos for many of the great names of tap, including Davis, Sims and Hines's protege Savion Glover.

	Gregory Hines: The Last Song and Dance Man
		When Gregory Hines died on 9 August, he left a legacy of artistic accomplishment in the fields of pop music, film, stage, and, of course, "hoofing." Born in New York City in February 1946, Gregory Hines initially made his mark as a member of a tap-dancing family act with his brother Maurice Hines Jr.
		Gregory Hines, like Maurice and fellow song and dance man Ben Vereen (remember Tenspeed and Brown Shoe [1980]), was part of the generation of Black male performers directly influenced by the crossover success of Sammy Davis, Jr.
		Because so much of Hines' crossover success went against the afro-pomo cultural nationalism championed by Spike Lee, Public Enemy, and Eddie Murphy to some extent, Hines was often perceived as outside of the "Black by popular demand" loop of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
