  • In 1988 he recorded his first album "See The Light" with the Jeff Healey band and they were featuring in the cultmovie "Road House". Both - the movie and the album - were very succesful and that was their big breakthrough.
    In this clip we see Jeff playing in 1988, just before his breakthrough, and right after it in 1989 in the German TV progam "Ohne Filter".
    In this compilation video Jeff Healey (discovered by another guitar hero Stevie Ray Vaughan) shows again that he is one of the greatest guitar players ever walked on this planet.

    There needs to be a Netflix Movie about Jeff Healey! The world must know about his incredible courage, talent and strenght. He died of cancer. RIP Jeff Healey.

      Roadhouse is the closest but they probably will. Being in the music business most of my life, you have a lot of people that will consent to a movie. I can’t imagine the actor portraying Jeff

      @@alexanderhanksx Netflix is also ridiculously expensive. Don’t know where y’all at but NY its $15 a month and each extra TV is $7 extra. So $20+ plus tax for 2
      TV’s plus the internet and cable is not worth it.

He dug what we were doing and jammed with us both times. it was a damm good time! so he got us to open for him in utica,ny. He wanted me to come back to be featured with his band on a thursday night but sadly he got too sick by then. Jeff inspired me and many others with his great guitar playing and musicianship. On top of that he was a wonderful person.

    Mezzo-baritone singer, too...imo (idc if I sound a bit off)...rare ability to go very rich & deep while sustaning alto-to-tenor overtones...absolutely love his singing.

    If it gets any better than this you would be in heaven with Jeff and Jesus. Good grief! There has never been better. Move over Jimi and Stevie. You have been replaced in the angel band. God Bless Jeff Healey! Wow! Unbelievable! Just...Wow!
