He knows there are people who think of him as a movie actor who also dances, after his appearance with ballet star Mikhail Baryshnikov in White Nights. (He also played a cop with Billy Crystal in Running Scared and portrayed a military investigator with Willem Dafoe in Off Limits.) Now, however, Hines can be’called a dancing actor who also sings. Epic Records has released his first LP, Gregory Hines, with a successful rhythm and blues single, That Girl Wants to Dance With Me. Ever since he sang and danced on Broadway in Eubie, Comin’ Uptown and Duke Ellington's Sophisti cated Ladies, he has wanted more. “I've been trying to get a record deal for about six years,” Hines says. “Nobody was interested in me. I went to the major labels and producers. I was discour- aged. Then, in 1985, record producer Luther Vandross saw a rerun of a Saturday Night Live show on which Hines had sung. CORNY PLOT? “If I saw this in a movie I wouldn't believe it,” Hines says. “A guy's trying to get a record deal and a major singer-songwriter-producer calls him up. When I was in the studio recording, sometimes I'd look through the glass at Luther and I couldn't believe it.” Vandross, Marcus Miller and Skip Anderson wrote ballads, uptempo and funk songs for Hines. “We felt we could make a contemporary sound and one that would be attractive to a broad range of people,” he said. “I didn't want to push back the clock in lyrics. DEBRA TOMPKINS I'm a 42-year-old guy. I feel comfortable with where the clock is. Luther felt the same way.” irst they sang a duet, There’s Nothing Better Than Love, which went toa Vandross album and shot to No. 1 on the R-and-B charts. Hines has it on his LP as well They meshed their schedules and started recording the Gregory Hines album in January in Los Angeles. TAPPED OUT “Thad to be there,” Hines said. “I was rehearsing Tap, the film I just finished shooting. I'd rehearse the dance sequences from 11 a.m. to 3 then from 4 to 1 in the morning I'd go in the studio and work with Luther.” Since Hines was seven years old and had first séen Sammy Davis Jr. at the Apollo Theatre, he'd wanted to work with him. “He came out on stage and there was such excitement. He came out without background singers, light show, smoke machine. For two hours he dazzled you with his energy and his abilities. There he was on the Tap set. It was the best working experience I've ever had.” Hines’ wife, theatrical producer Pamela Koslow, is developing a musical about the life of jazz composer and pianist Jelly Roll Morton, to star Hines. NO REVUE “It won't be a revue; it'll have a story. I'll be at the piano and there will be times I'll use dance as a metaphor for piano,” Hines says. “I'm done with revues. It is enjoyable to be in a show that’s as successful as Sophisticated Ladies was, but it got to be boring after a while. 1 wanted more to do than sing and dance. Duke Ellington's music is what got me through the year and.a half I did it. I'd come to the theatre; I didn’t feel like going on. I'd hear the overture and I was ready to perform.” School of Cable 10 TV DANCE SHAW CABLE 10 TV Sept. 7, 9 and 11 gridey te J September7,1968 Az ~ > Overwaitea GRAND FORKS 355 NORTH EAST TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY mm BC TEL \& GRAND FORKS _ ANNUAL FALL FAIR Saturday, September 10 ENTER EXHIBITS 10.a.m. to7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 9 Juding Begins at 7:30 p.m. Exhibits at the G.F.
