[@SheIsTooNice]

Look how excited he gets. Being blind, he is so open, and honest. He isn't performing. He is the music

[@sheradonna]

amazing blues i am ten and i am addicted to this stuff R I P Jeff I just wish i could have gone to one of his concerts

[@saturn9999999]

He was Amazing ,,,,,RIP Jeff......Show'em how to pick up there ! Jeff fought cancer all his life., He lost his sight as a child from it... I think he had a few bought with it,. it was cancer that took him.. very sad.

[@choosetheblues]

Thank you for all your great music Jeff. Rest in peace my brother. Another gift from Canada to the world.

[@9874col]

goodbye jeff mate i hope you see the light wherever you are, video is class by the way.

[@MrCaribbean]

jeff was out of this world,one of the better renditions of this song that i have heard.jeff was truely amazing,just goes to show how much we should thank god for what we have.And use our gifts for the better of man.

[@upsman63]

love seeing him from the heart bobbing his head while playing this tune. even though I'm not blind still bobbing my head the same way from the heart on a very Kick A song!!!!!

[@lucasquirrel]

nobody ever played quite the way he did. his limitations made him a unique and incredible player because he had to find his own way. his soulfulness and lyrical quality of both his "voices" were a treasure. he is terribly missed a true genius as his interest went far beyond blues to many genres. RIP Jeff. you are dearly missed shally

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Not many covers of this that I like.. But this is the best.. (yes best!) Thanks for the intensely great sound quality.. and for getting this up to share.. All the info you posted here is very helpful. I have some cd buying to do.. and I aint rich! But there are some priorities in life.. Jeff IS one! Live music is the other, when possible.

[@roselovr2004]

One of the things I never understood about the bluegrass folks--they speed this song up so much that it kills the melody. I love BG, but that may be my one big criticism! Thanks for this. Lordy, Mr. Healy had the talent!!! I was so sorry to hear that he passed away!

[@bucephalus48]

An awesome display of musical prowess! And in a style where it really counts, full of experts. I hope they play this rendition at my funeral. Hell, listening, I AM sitting on top of the world!!!!! I hope you RIP Jeff Healey Sir.

[@yhcranaalex]

[@drdrum1]

As someone who is visually impaired myself, a note on Jeff. He chose to play the way he did, it had nothing to do with his being someone who was blind, but rather a preference he had to play in this manner.

[@TheCliffandPhilShow]

R.I.P. Jeff.

[@ugotbawlz]

Jeff was the Jam...he loved Jazz and Blues and played and sang them oh so well. RIP dude. You were da musical bomb.
