Jeff Healey is a Legend!!! Yes, Jeff is Blind. He lost his eyesight at one year old (cancer). He left us way too soon!! Such an Awesome gift that was shared with the world. His incredible voice and incredible talent as a musician will always be remembered. RIP Jeff!
He went blind as a child due to cancer of the eyes. At school he was given a guitar tried playing normal but found he liked it better on his lap. Cancer returned and he passed away at 41. He and Stevie Ray were friends.
Jeff's live version of See The Light and his duet with SRV- Look at Little Sister are also fantastic. He was a Canadian legend who passed far too early (41) due to cancer.
Miss Jeff Healey. So much Talent and Skill. So very very underrated and over looked in conversations of great guitarist. He belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. RIP JEFF. A TRUE TITAN.
Jeff lost his sight to cancer of the eye and his dad gave him his first guitar at 3. The cancer returned when he was 41 and he passed. I am so glad I saw him live..Talent personified one of the most under rated jazz guitarists of our time.
Such an inspiration! Don't miss "See the Light" or "Look at Little Sister" where he and Stevie Ray Vaughan go toe to toe! I'm sure you will love them. And yep, he was blind, but that didn't stop him... it was the making of him. Sadly missed.
Jeff Healey lost his eyesight to cancer when he was only 8 months old & when he turned 3 his parents got him a youth size gutair & he started to learn how to play on his own & he was considered a musical prodigy & believe it or not . Their were about 3 or 4 record companies that passed up on singing him to a music contract . R.I.P. Jeff Healey .
i got to see him front row at la zona Rosa in Austin Texas. man he was awesome i didnt know he was blind he got up and jammed the guitar at the end of song and broke guitar on stage BAD ASS.SORRY YOU ARE GONE GOD BLESS YOU MISS YOU
It's always best when people react to Jeff for the first time, judging him as a guitar player and as a singer and then finding out. Otherwise, he gets judged as a blind man. Better this way.
Brother.... do you wanna know who discovered Jeff Healey and gave him the stage to play on ? The Goat ...Mr . Stevie Ray Vaughan . Lost his eyes when he was 1 year old. Totally blind and his style is off the chain ⛓️
Not only blind but plays the guitar on his lap!Have you ever seen anything like that in your life.? A lot of people can't play the guitar. The proper way period on your lap , come on bro l o l
The way he sings and plays...you never would have known he is blind...

One of the most talented Bluesman to ever grace a stage. Definitely not talked about and very underrated. Especially being blind.
RIP Jeff
Spent the 90's living in Toronto. Managed to catch him live several times at Grossman's on Jam Night or at his bar. Truly gifted musician.
Jeff was a great guy👍 nice reaction 👍

What an incredible story, his life is - and tragic at the same time. See The Light is totally insane, bro. You'll love it, Greg!! ✌🏼❤
Nice reaction. That guitar playing is a special kind of magic and I could tell that you felt it too.
Angel Eyes is a must see by him 💕
Yes he was blind at a very very young age. I was heartbroken when he passed away..

RIP Jeff Healey such a fantastic musician gone too soon!
Met him in Atlanta in '99 or '00 at Midtown Music Fest. He was a really nice guy!
He is one of one. Feel it or realize You are dead inside

His band was featured in the first Roadhouse movie. They played the house band.
Jeff does a great job with this song but be sure to check out "As the Years Go Passing By " Boz Scaggs with Booker T and The MG's .

One of the first times I saw him play a Pauly.
