Gregory Hines attributes much of his success as a dancer to Sammy Davis Jr. whom he met around the age of nine, and stated that everytime he was with his idol he learned something new from him. Davis’s sincerity helped Gregory to keep the "show business" life in perspective.

Like Sammy Davis Jr., Gregory is also nearly blind in his right eye. An accident at age 9 damaged

his sight, which has deteriorated over the years. It hasn't effected his dancing ability, Hines can entrance an audience with his footwork.

The father of three, Gregory's children are all taking after their Dad. Daughter Daria dances tap, ballet. Daughter Jessica prefers modern and son Zachary likes "hip-hop."
