Fit As A Fiddle: Steve Martin & Gregory Hines 

all you ever need to know, is that one time... this happened

God, I miss Gregory Hines sweet face.

As a life long tapper I thought Gregory Hines was very gracious and generous to a nebiw like Steve Martin. It also took tremendous balls for Steve to dance side by side with him!

Good nod to Singing in the rain!

mad props to Steve Martin for keeping up with Gregory Hines

I want Hines to be alive and have a recurring role as an Arconia resident on Season Four of Only Murders In The Building. I so miss him.

Gregory Hines , one of the GREAT entertainers!

What an incredible find! I've seen so much of Steve Martin, but I've never seen this footage before. Gregory Hines is of course an absolute master, and of course he's technically the better dancer, but right back to The Jerk, there's something about Steve's dancing that has always, always brought me joy. You can tell he moves his feet in a fairly standard way for a tap dancer, but from the waist up there's just an uncontrollably joyous energy to how he moves that puts a smile on my face every time. It's something more than "laughter comedy." It's a shared happiness that runs very deep.

LOVE how they do sing, have a KILLER dance break, then belt it out after all that dancin! True performers!!!!

Steve Martin is much more than he seems.

If Steve is ever casted on Dancing With the Stars that season would be over with

who knew steve could tap? lucky to dance with gregory.

I love how there are several points while dancing that from the waist up Steve Martin's posture and motions are unmistakably his - to the point where you could cover his face and recognize him anyway.

Steve is pretty good 😊💯 even watching him from pennies from heaven 1981

Steve Martin did a nice job. This was back when people on TV and in movies had talent!

Love Gregory Hines. He is missed

This is simply amazing! Gregory Hines is unparalleled, but Steve keeps up with him very well.

where has all the sweet hardworking talent gone? Now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

That was just fantastic.

Thank you for sharing. I am a huge Gregory Hines fan. I was surprised and amazed at Steve Martin's dance and tap skills. He is far more than just a funny man as well. I knew he was talented, but never knew he could dance like that. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks again for sharing.

This was so much fun n 👏🏻. I have always loved Gregory Hines, he was so talented, a wonderful dancer, a gifted singer and a talented actor. A true triple threat❤️ Not to mention he was adorable. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸

Wow, didn't know Steve was that good.

Dripping in multi-talent. Legends on screen. Appreciate them while we have them.

This is wonderful! If anyone else has copies of Steve Martin's specials from the 70's and '80's please, please please put them up! I remember this special so well and cracked up when I heard that line again, "Hey, that's what I was gonna do!"

I miss those musical movies... 💖🇺🇲👍🏻😊

Sum this performance up in 3 words! Classic, Priceless,Timeless. RIP Gregory Hines

Gregory Hines - a huge talent gone for ever. Always knew Steve Martin must be a dancer because he moves so well on film

What a treasure!

Just fantastic, Steve Martin is a modern day Danny Kaye...he's not just a great tapper but also has a real good voice. I wonder how he keeps in such good shape!

THERE WAS NO ONE BETTER THAN GREGORY….THE CLASS OF CARY GRANT AND THE DANCING OF ASTAIRE AND KELLY COMBINED….JUST LOVED HIM💕💕💕

How did I barely find this vid....Steve martin 🙌

😂Every time I see Gregory Hines dance on film I curse the cancer that took him from us so early. I watched him dance with his father and brother when the kids were children. His brother died recently, so there mist be some mighty dancing in heaven.

Daaammmnnnn! I never saw this before.

Two Greats !!!

Notice how Greg Hines' singing is just as rhythmic as his dancing. You can hear it as soon as he starts singing; listen to the 'bounce' he gives to the words, and notice that Steve does not do this. Truly motivated by rhythm!

Thank you for sharing this!! Steve Martin surely must have been dancing a little longer by that point, but he does seem a natural at anything requiring impeccable rhythm - music, dance, and comedy!

Wonderful- love Gregory Hines, and with Steve Martin. Delightful to watch. So much- love joy humor here

I think that Steve Martin is possibly the most talented man entertainer that has ever lived. Is there anything he can't do?

Both of these guys are amazing. Gregory Hines may have been the last of the great tap dancers and Martin moves so strangely that it's excellent!

Gregory Hines tap dancing is (oh, fan myself and think) my almost favorite thing. I will sit here and watch and dream.

WOW!!! i did not know that Steve Martin had moves like that! haha i am in complete and utter shock!! go martin!! :D

Omg this was so awesome to see! Tap is so fun looking! More people should do it...

There are no performers with this must talent anymore.

Pure Joy..........both! Miss Gregory Hines! He was the BEST!

Dancers should be shown if full view not just the feet or the from the waist up. Good dancing and showmanship on both Greg and Steve. Thanks for the video. RIP Gregory Hines we still miss you.

This is incredible.

I knew Gregory Hines was a Great Dancer, was not aware he had passed! RIP Great Man! I am AMAZED at Steve Martins dancing ability whether it took him 6 months or 25 years simply doesn’t matter! Bravo! Bravo Gentlemen!

No one moves like Steve Martin

Just can't believe half of this duo has already been gone for sometime now. So, glad Steve is still sharing his talents. What an Act! Gregory Hines and Steve Martin! Always a favorite for me. Thanks for taping it! ♡

i was SO SAD when this video disappeared from youtube a couple years ago. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK!!!

Steve has been dancing for more than 8 months. That was obviously a fib. These guys are natural dancers. They are both so talented.

Gregory Hines IS a true Talent No Dought He Is In Heaven God ALLWAYS Calls Upon The Good Ones To Early.

I love this! By his own admission it took Steve Martin 6 months to learn how to tap dance for Pennies From Heaven and another 4 to film one of the great tap sequences. Pennies was a very unappreciatd 1981 movie - average audiences were not up to the task of understanding the clever, dark references and the Busby Berkley style dance numbers.

Steve Martin really ROCKED that time step.

Most watched video since 1981 and still is such good shape.... Us Betamax fanatics knew something, didn't we? Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Damn, they are amazing!

БРАВО !!!

WOW!!!!!

Today audience could not respectfully enjoy entertainment like this

Thanks for sharing!

Best of the best. Thank you for allowing me to watch. Over and over and over.......

God, I’m so glad this popped up on my feed today! Pure joy!!

Love this, made my day.

The BEST are always taken from us too soon.

Martin was taking his training seriously. Whoa

So ... Steve Martin could tap dance. Who knew? And I'm 50! LOL

That was Great !

Excellent version by Gregory Hines & Steve Martin

Never knew steve martin could dance. Lovely

Bravo bravo bravo!

What a delightfully perfect partnership of talent!! 🥰

Gregory Hines is great and Steve Martin did great. Thank you for this. Made me remember dancing on TV in my youth. I was never close to this.

This is so amazing. Two of my favorite performers of all time! How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this amazing performance.

Amazing

Thank you for posting this! I admire both these men so much! RIP Gregory!

I never knew Steve Martin could tap dance?!

And happy we are you did record this...thank you

What an absolute gem!

Wow, Steve and Gregory, Awesome!

This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. Especially those of us who weren't even alive when this aired.

GregoryHines R.I.P. He was a fantastic dancer & I loved Steve Martin in " PENNIES FROM HEAVEN" He did some great dancing himself.This was the best dance Routine,? Since I saw James Cagney & Bob Hope dancing together in the Movie " THE SEVEN LITTLE FOYS"

I really enjoyed this. Thank-you.

That was just plain fun to watch. They were both amazing, dancing AND singing.

OMG!!! They were in perfect sync too!!

Delightful! Uch...where did these days go?

Excellent

Steve Martin can tap! Who knew? I didn't. FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for sharing.

This brings back some great memories. Not just Steve Martin and that white suit, but it was great to hear Don Pardo's voice again and see Howard Shore from the pre-Lord of the Rings days.

i remember this like it was yesterday...this is truly classic, many thx for posting. There was also an Eric Idle sketch about Stonehenge

Martin and Hines mining a Mills brothers' routine.

Love this so much, fun routine. ❤️ Gregory Hines is perfect and Steve Martin was a good match, showed a lot more of what he can do. Wonderful entertainers.

The good news? In late 2012, a 3-DVD collection Martin's television stuff was released. The title? "Steve Martin: The Television Stuff." Yeah - available from Amazon.

Steve Martin worked with the great choreographer, Danny Daniels, for 8 months on the film Pennies from Heaven. I think he looks great. Also, a great tap (strip) number Christopher Walked does in that film, check it out!

as a tapper, who Fn new Steve could do this!!

Oh my, that just made my morning!

GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO .

Steve can just about anything. Awesome vid clip.

Man they did that!

Wow...brings back memories. Thanks so much for posting this.

Gregory Hines was such an amazing talent -- gone way too soon.
