“In my opinion, Gene Kelly was the greatest performer. Gene Kelly, since he is a gentleman. I adore Fred Astaire, but he was wonderful because he was so graceful. He was quite refined,” Boss remarked in an AP interview from 2014.
However, Gene Kelly might be like someone’s father who decided to get up off the couch, dance around, and clean the kitchen. Boss uploaded dance videos to TikTok with his wife, a talented dancer herself, and their children as extras.
Celebrities like Kerry Washington, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Questlove shared condolences on social media. I’m speechless, man. May this difficult time provide comfort to his family. May we all have tranquility in our daily lives? You never know who is on the edge because every day is a winding path, Questlove wrote on Instagram.

“He was one of a kind. A good man, a husband, a creative person, a dancer, a performer, a shining example… He was exceptional. He could do anything, and he did it with grace, joy, and a little swagger.
Twitch, I’m lost… I feel my heart is frozen, and I don’t want to breathe out because I’m hoping that someone will catch this terrible error if I don’t. And everything will be alright once more,” “Dancing with the Stars,” judge Inaba wrote on Instagram.
