- Abstract
- Special hosted by George Burns and broadcast live from NBC's studio H celebrated 100 years of popular music with performances by Sarah Vaughan, Eydie Gorme, Gregory Hines, Henry Mancini and Steve Lawrence; choreography by Peter Gennaro and Henry LeTang.
Hines sings "Toot, Toot, Tootsie" with no dancing; and "It Don't Mean a Thing..." starts a dance with the first note on the tips of his toes (no, Glover did not invent perching on the toes!)
Hines dances sideways and on the diagonal; no taps, so the beats are more resonant; dances up a flight of stairs where he is joined by four dancers (awful choreography and presentation by two white and two black women) doing times steps; unidentified chorus. - Source
