Jeff was one of the greatest guitarists to ever live. His guitar playing was revolutionary in the fact that he played it across his lap and used his thumb to play combined chords that would simply blow the roof off of any venue he played. Listen to his song "See the light" and you wil TOTALLY hear his gift. Rest in peace Jeff, you definitely left your impression in the blown minds and ears of an entire generation.

I am a huge fan of Jeff's! I did not know he had passed away until now. I have to say, other than Stevie Ray Vaughn, I have never seen a more soulful white boy blues guitarist than Jeff! The boy made you feel his songs and that is why he was such a rare talent to me. An amazing guitar player and singer. I will miss him and his music. I will continue to discover more of his music and always be a fan of his and the blues. R.I.P. my brother!

I remember when he was on several news shows on CBC and Much music. He released “See The Light” before Roadhouse because I bought the album/tape before the movie was out, I was hooked. Here was a a guy that was blind, played the guitar like a piano and hit notes that a regular guitar player can’t hit. Jeff made “Roadhouse Blues” by the Doors popular in the Roadhouse movie. That guy could really play something special. I call him “ the blind Hendrix”.

Hi. I’m new to your channel. Jeff Healey brought me here. I’m in love with his music, especially his ‘See The Light’ album. Thank you so much for going out to the grave and the park I never knew about. Jeff was truly one of a kind and it breaks my heart to know that I’ll never get to meet him. Sadly, he passed away the same year my father passed away, both from cancer… My father died just 3 months after Jeff. I’ll forever be grateful to the movie ‘Roadhouse’ because that’s how I discovered Jeff. It’s still such a great film all these years later, so is the soundtrack, but Jeff Healey and the music really made that movie great, aside from the great cast, the mood of the film and all the great martial arts performances of course. I never knew that Jeff played with B.B. King! I had the privilege of seeing B.B. King perform at the Doheny Jazz & Blues Festival at Doheny Beach here in California and he was brilliant! I’ll never forget him coming to the stage in an all-leather American flag jacket. I’d pay good money to go back in time and see Jeff Healey and B.B. King perform together. How magnificent that would be. Thanks again for this! I liked and subscribed. 🌹

But saw him life and up close enough to briefly talk, at the Back Alley Bar in Calgary years ago. Ironically a large fight/brawl broke out there that night, not as notable as Roadhouse but... Too cool.

Regardless of any struggles or disadvantages Jeff may have had, he selflessly gave his gift of music to the world. Not to say that he saw them as 'struggles'... he seemed to effortlessly wade through life, always with laughter and a smile. Guy's a legend of Blues guitar. Maybe you have to be blind, to get guitar tone, like that... that extremely 'fine tuned' ear was a gift, to us! Thanks for the vid. I imagined hearing a teenage Jeff Healey playing guitar, as you walked in his neighbourhood. ❤

Went to high school with Jeff Healey at Etobicoke Collegiate institute in the 80s. He had a huge bunch of students around him all the time. Nice kid. I used to play ball hockey when I was a kid in that park inside the tennis court located off Park Lawn. Of course back then it wasn't called Jeff Healey park. I used to like it because it was secluded on a dead end.

I was so fortunate to catch many of his early club shows in Vancouver and meet him and his band several times. He was selling his See The Light singles at the first show I went to.

My then G.F. insisted I learn how to play Angel Eyes and that's how I was introduced to Jeff. I then saw him on Road House and on David Letterman where he played Confident Man and stood next to a chair wailing on a guitar solo then sitting back down and finishing the song. It was and still is awesome. I was deeply saddened to hear of his death years ago, thanks for remembering him.☮☮☮

I think he played like he absolutely HAD to, from his soul as most blues artists do. It's what makes the music so very good. You just want to tilt your head back and close your eyes and let it soak in. Yes, Roadhouse was and still is a guilty pkeasure, who wouldn't love Swayze and Elliot accompanied by the blues? It never pretended to be an Oscar contender but it was a simple movie with good guy winning against bad guy. Hope Jeff is resting in peace picturing joining in with the greats that went before him.
