I remember seeing Jeff Healey for the first time late 80's at Grossman's Tavernette in Toronto. He came on stage when the house band went for a break and he just completely blew me away. A French woman was sitting at my table and in response to my adelades said "tres ordinaire, tres ordinaire", which left me wondering what planet she came from!!!. Never forgot that night!!

saw jeff healy twice at the apollo in manchester completely blown away by a fantastic guitar player bob

I'm saddened to find out that Jeff Healey passed, I just happened upon the sad news online. I fell in love with "Angel Eyes" and could listen to it over and over. God Bless :(

luckey to see jeff twice in manchester england,fantastic guitar player and a very funny guy, one of the greats for sure,I hope it gives some comfort to his family that he gave so much pleasure to so many people all around the world, thanks jeff,keiron manchester england

I had the honour of meeting Jeff some 13 yrs back when they played a show in Peterborough. My oldest son was blessed to have Jeff play on one of his albums something I will always hold dear. Being a fan of Jeffs myself it was more then a thrill to actually get to meet him and join the band on the tour bus where we were welcomed with open arms. I have to admit I was like a love struck teenager then just again for that moment.. Playing with his Beautiful little darling Rachel's toes. Jeff was all smiles and Kindness. You will live on in our hearts and minds.

I first heard of Jeff from hearing his song "angel eyes" and fell in love with the song and then his music. I remember coming across him on the movie roadhouse and thinking how well he could also act. I never realized he had been fighting a lifelong battle with cancer and my heart goes out to his family and friends. You can see every beautiful thing now, can't you Jeff? Will never forget you.

First of all,deepest sympathies and thoughts to Jeffs family-they will never be alone while Jeffs music lives on.I have followed this guy since the beginning.Such a talent and taken too soon.I understood that he was coming over on tour to see us this year-something I was really looking forward to.Now that the MAN upstairs has taken him to the 'great gig in the sky',I guess I'm gonna have to wait a little longer-that ticket has been booked for a while!Rest in peace,Brother,if you get the chance!See ya soon! Geoff (and all other Rhinos,Winos & Lunatics from UK !)

Jeff, you were an inspiration to all who played guitar. I had the honour of meeting you at your bar in Toronto some years ago and you gave me great advise on how to practice and be patient with it. You will always have a special place in my heart. Our loss is Gods gain, rest in peace, always remembered.

BE FREE

Thank you Jeff Healy for your wonderful music that touched all of our lives may you rest in peace brother.

Jeff has ironically opened more eyes to the blues/rock/jazz scene than most of us musicians with the gift of sight. You will be missed my friend, until we meet at the Big Road House in the sky.

It was great to see a person playing for the love of music and not for all the things he couldn't see! He was blessed.

Really enjoyed running into Jeff at Tim Horton's in N.F.O. last year. Awesome surprise it was. Dearly missed. Patti G.

I had the honor of meeting Jeff as a bass player in an opening act at Freeman Field several years ago. Before Jeff's show we spoke briefly and took a picture together that hangs on my wall and that I will always cherish.My condolences are extended to his bandmates and family and may God bless Jeff on his new journey in heaven.

It gave me chills every time I heard him play. As a guitarist he may have been the most underrated player of our time. His execution was flawless and a style all his own, breathing new life into classics like Hideaway. My perosnal favorite will always be Blue Jean Blues; he just tore it apart. I think the fact that he could not see was the reason he had such musical prowess; every note was pure feel and emoition. I will miss him and I suspect that the world in general never knew what an amazing talent he possessed. It went well beyond his blindness and he should be held in the same regard as most of the great blues and jazzmasters.

R.I.P. Brother Jeff..Heaven's got one heck of a band,, but we'll sure miss your playing here on Mother Earth..Thoughts & Prayers to the Family.. God Bless...

Fantastic musician, great influence on all of us - a really tragic loss. Our very best wishes to Jeff's family, who will miss him more than any of us mere fans.

What a loss for the world of music! Many regrets that I never had the priviledge of seeing him live. My deepest sympathy to his family & friends. A Fan Forever, Arne (Enjoy the Angel Eyes on you, Jeff)

our condolensces and prayers are with his family.....god bless ya jeff.....godspeed

You may have not been able to see here on earth, but you'll be able to see in heaven. Thank God!

You will be sorely missed. What a career you have had. May God keep watch over you and your family.

I met Jeff last summer at a Blues Festival in Washington State. He was such an awesome person and a terrific artist. I will truly miss him. His music will always be with me, and I will always treasure the chance I had to meet with him and talk with him.

thank you jeff for showing me how good your music is....for me, you were the true star of roadhouse.....you will be sadly missed......

You have left a place in my heart. I will never forget how wonderful you were. You will be so missed.

You were an inspiration to many. May God Bless your soul.

saw jeff and the band twice in glasgow and was blown away and instantly hooked sad day for music

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MUSIC.

Phenomenal musician. Champion spirit. Family man and all around hero to many who love blues guitar. Your dedication to your gift - despite so many obstacles - shows what true grit really is. Thank you for all you have done for the music industry - and for anyone with a soul who listens to your music and is moved by it.

when I first heard you I thought it was Jimi Hendrix. One of my all time favorite concert preformances was when you played at F&M college, With a lazer light shining down on you and fog coming across it looked as though you were inside a lava lamp,that was in the early 1990's and I can still picture it in my mind today.Angel Eyes was the first song I danced to with my now ex-wife at our wedding reception. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!

You will be missed dearly. God bless you

I saw Jeff in Louisville KY he was unreal, but the story here is that I have played Jeff's music for my 13 yr old girl and 8 yr old boy but they've never seen him. So monday night without knowing what had happened I was showing them who he was with video's on utube. I also just last week whent to his website to see if I could find a show to take them too...UNREAL! Loved his music He will be greatly Missed.

you where truly an amazeing artis,and a smokeing guitar player,,I will truly miss you,,When SRV passed away you where the one alot of us turned to and you welcomed us with open arms,Now its your turn ,another blues slinger is being called back home,God bless you and to yours,

my heart gently weeps rip jeff

Tommy Vance ( also sadly departed, Friday Rock Show dj radio 1) played "see the light" and thats what Jeff did for me .That was back in the 80s an ive been a fan ever since. wonderful blues/rock artist with quality feel. thanks Jeff you are missed already. definately not forgotten, steve UK

Thank you Jeff for the great music you've made. I feel lucky that I had the opportunity to see you play live. Your music lives on forever! Rest in peace and I hope you are in a much better place now.

"Stick it to the man" Pure raw talent and a very sad loss to music.Thank you for sharing your music and giving me the best memories. My thoughts are with your family and loved ones today.Enjoy your jamming time with Stevie Ray and Satchmo.

a great loss to your fan's & family my heart goes out to you

dear jeff, it's a shame, you had to leave this life, now you can play with stevie again. so long,

'Bye Jeff, all guitars are gently weeping today. Get jammim with Stevie Ray, make the heavens rock! RIP

RIP, Jeff, today is a sad day. You will be remembered.

I had no idea that Jeff was blind since the age of one nor that he had cancer but this I do know, I have danced many many times to Jeff's very beautiful song Angel Eyes . I loved it the first time I heard it . Cancer is such a cruel disease . I am a 63 year old Great Grandmother and cancer took both my parents from me just six months apart. My sympathy goes to Jeff's family.

What a fantastic guitarist. Watch Jeff on You Tube doing 'Look at Little Sister' with that other genius, Stevie Ray. RIP Jeff, you will be missed.

Been lucky enough to see Jeff Healey twice because he never forgot his fans in Scotland. What a talent, what a loss

why must we be left without so many guitiar heroes taken away in their prime. too many memories with my mind, i can not believe that you are gone. soo many people i let know of your magic....... say hello to my sister!!!!!

The song might now be over...but the melody still resonates...

10 yrs. ago we had a benefit for my stepmother who was battling cancer. The live band there played "Angel Eyes." That Jeff Healey song will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Thanks for the music Jeff!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Jeff quite a number of years ago at The Living Room in Providence,RI. The place was packed and we were,literally, squeezed between the stage speakers watching his every move. Man, talk about blown away by this monster talent. He slayed me that night in much the same way Stevie Ray Vaughan blew me away, the first time. An amazing talent has, once again, left us too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with your wife and kids. We will never forget you.

I remember Jeff in a sleazy little bar in Belleville,Ontario, and he was the best talent to ever walk in the door, ever! I will always play my harp along side this mans music ,for he was one of the greatest blues players in the world!

Still my guitar gently weeps.
