i knew him a bit very sweet guy , only club owner that would ever call you back ! seriously always called me back ! i never got to ask him if he loved Rory Gallagher , as it sounds like he sure did . miss you Jeff no one can replace him RIP My friend
Music is all about one's taste, but please, please, just skip away if you don't like it! Rating thumbs down is a plain insult for this great, great musician and wonderful human being, makes me sad... RIP brother, thank you for your wonderful music and inspiration, hope you are jamming with another legend, SRV in heaven. Thank you very much for sharing 1016vortex. Peace to you all.
Jeff has been largely forgotten by the music world. Not many seem to understand the feat he complete ed to teach himself that method of playing in his lap and to be a total monster on blues guitar, he gave SRV a run for his money. Personally I think he was better, Jeff really had to feel it. Your music will carry on Jeff Healey!
This song is, literally, my favorite blues song - it gives me chills every time I hear Mr. Healey do it. Jeff was an amazing player. He is sorely missed, but will always be on my playlist.
This has to be the best ever recording of Jeff. He must have been delighted when he heard it played back. It's a wonderful combination of technical skill, passion and being in the moment. Both his guitar playing and his vocals are stunning. I miss him.
i feel like there is an incredible relationship between jeff and albert king where albert learned to play upside down being left handed and Jeff learned on his lap being blind few people can do alberts songs justice and this is an excellent version
Truly one of the best musicians I have ever had the pleasure of hearing that will never be matched in my lifetime. This is the guy today's trash talent should take lessons from.
The beauty of his talent notwithstanding his disability speaks to the fact that G-D will make everthing right in the end.... he will play in the heavens with Mozart, Bethoven, Chopin, Hendrix, Vaughan, etc.....
Jeff,is just a canadain treasure . So much talent ! That guitar playing is just pure gold one of the best in the whole world . Beautiful person RIP your missed ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💎💎💎
I dont get all mushy about people I have never met but there are a lot of days that go by that I MISS Jeff Healey. RIP Jeff Your music got me through a bunch of stuff and I hate knowing your not with us anymore.
I cannot believe I had NEVER heard of this guy! But then maybe I can . . . having been busy during those years he performed raising six kids. But OH how happy I am to have found his music - what a talent!!! My goodness I cannot imagine how huge his loss must be felt by his family. I do prefer acoustic but his ability is clear! I just listened to "Georgia Grind" in which he also plays fantastic trumpet - wow just an amazing musician - we are so blessed to have the ability to enjoy him still!!
Amazing. Simply amazing. Jeff Healy was one of the few guitarists who could reach down and touch your soul. He had the ability to draw emotion from his guitar that only a handful of great mucisians could. He was able to voice pain and pleasure simultaneously with his soaring solos...his talent was a treasure that will be sorely missed.
WOW Brings back memories of 1991 in Edmonton Alberta where he Played in concert at the Convention Center on Jasper Ave.I had the privilege to be at the front of the stage about 15 feet away from Jeff,watching in amazement as he played.A concert I will never forget. To bad he is gone, :`( One of my favorite Guitarists.Maybe I will see you again Jeff,in God's new world to come :-D Peace out to one of the Greatest artist of his time.You are missed Jeff :-)
He plays NOT a great guitar but it is played as if it were an extension of a body part of his. Gives a whole new definition to the word, musician! God take care of this soul!
Oh my beth ann...i have been in the music business for years so i know all about jeff healey. he is one of the best in guitar history, by far. please do yourself a favor and find his music and listen. one of my favorite people...r.i.p.jeff (he's gone now but his music lives on)
Jeff was a master and a true guitar hero, up there with my favourite Gary Moore. Funny enough Gary was famous for his version of 'As The Years Go Passing By' as well. I've never heard Jeff play this before today believe it or not! It's a fantastic cover, Jeff R.I.P.
This man, oh how this man could make music. SRV had been my favorite, until Jeff. Then all bets were off. I wish we had more time with him, so full of grace and having to deal with so many difficulties. Jeff Healey was one of a kind.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! When he tears into that emotional, climactic, building solo starting around the 4 minute mark, the hairs on my arms stood up and I got chills that lasted the rest of the song! Just phenomenal. RIP Sir Jeff!!!
Jeff worked at his craft. I saw him many times at seedy and not so seedy joints on Yonge St in the early 80s. First time was at the Upper Lip. I once just heard him as we were walking down the street and popped in for a few beers at the old Colonial. He would go to Yonge St and play wherever. Saw him about 7-8 times. The last being at Ontario Place forum. RIP Jeff you were the best.
Jeff Healey .Sorely missed in my music world. Being a guitar player for most of my life, I cant even compare my abilities to his. But I can identify with the feel. ' The best moments onstage are when you can close your eyes and let it flow out of you. Jeff did it every day. I think he had an advantage rather than a disability. And also the left thumb with a mind of its own. OMG. Miss u Jeff.
Jeff's voice and guitar licks were unique, as he was unique. We will miss you dear brother, but your music live on in us today. Thank you for all the wonderful years of blues music done in your style. Musicians are a sacred people as they add so much joy and beauty to our sometimes drab lives. God Bless you Jeff.
Beautiful! It is said , you feel the Blues. Can you imagine how much energy it takes to perform this version, down to perfection? We can watch all the other great guitarist, doing this very song. I hate to compare and then 'share'. This is, hands down the very best! As the years go passing by' RIP Jeff
i knew him a bit very sweet guy , only club owner that would ever call you back ! seriously always called me back ! i never got to ask him if he loved Rory Gallagher , as it sounds like he sure did . miss you Jeff no one can replace him RIP My friend
One of the most underrated guitar players EVER. He belongs right on top with the very best!
One of the more underrated guitarist of my life time. Great stuff. RIP Jeff.
E' vero.....era molto bravo !!!
Anyone that thinks they can play the guitar, listen to this man first!!!... Legend!!
I can feel his music in my bones...God only shared this treasure of a man with us for a little while...I miss you Jeff..
Deeply moving and spiritual music. Jeff is a pure guitarist. Never will be another one like him.
He was and always will be one of the greatest.
R.I.P. Jeff
Wow
The world is a richer musical place thanks to Jeff.
Most underated guitar player EVER !
Music is all about one's taste, but please, please, just skip away if you don't like it! Rating thumbs down is a plain insult for this great, great musician and wonderful human being, makes me sad...

Check out Confidence Man by Jeff, awesome.
I am not sure 3 million views makes him largely forgotten. Anyone who saw Jeff and got sawed in half will not forget........ever.
What a talent, forever missed by those of us who truly understand music 🎵😎🎵
Jeff music is recognized for people who truly love artist like him and that is more than enough. He was a talent. RIP
An incredible talent under normal circumstances, but to play at this standard with the handicap Jeff had was simply magical,sublime. ☘
Hell I think the whole dam
band is awsom!!
This song is, literally, my favorite blues song - it gives me chills every time I hear Mr. Healey do it. Jeff was an amazing player. He is sorely missed, but will always be on my playlist.
He's so beautiful and pure
RIP Jeff Healey! True talent. What a badass!
sitting here thinking about the years going passing me by,thanks Jeff RIP
This has to be the best ever recording of Jeff. He must have been delighted when he heard it played back. It's a wonderful combination of technical skill, passion and being in the moment. Both his guitar playing and his vocals are stunning. I miss him.
Jeff Healy - among the coolest of guitarists.
Wonderful guitarist and a wonderful singer.

Jeff was a natural born bluesman with incredible musical talent , He is sorely missed , RIP !
Wow first time ever I saw him with a gibson ;D cool... maybe it's because it's a gary moore song. Jeff you are being missed man we love ya !!
A beautiful talented young man that was taken away from us way to soon!!!!!!
He started at 3 . It was his prayer closet. Be well Jeff . And thankyou.
i feel like there is an incredible relationship between jeff and albert king where albert learned to play upside down being left handed and Jeff learned on his lap being blind few people can do alberts songs justice and this is an excellent version
Jeff healy was awesome.to bad we lost him.great guitarist.
Someone who never needed "autotune" or any of the other studio tricks available today to make music - real music.
I just continue to be blown away by Jeff"s talent WOW!!!!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! R.I.P
Truly one of the best musicians I have ever had the pleasure of hearing that will never be matched in my lifetime. This is the guy today's trash talent should take lessons from.
TRUE.
When you play guitar like this, love for this instrument cannot be put into words ! One of the BEST ALL TIME ! PERIOD
The beauty of his talent notwithstanding his disability speaks to the fact that G-D will make everthing right in the end.... he will play in the heavens with Mozart, Bethoven, Chopin, Hendrix, Vaughan, etc.....
How beautiful he was!
Jeff,is just a canadain treasure . So much talent ! That guitar playing is just pure gold one of the best in the whole world . Beautiful person RIP your missed ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💎💎💎

Yes, Boz wrote it and brought it out. But Jeff saw it all and so much more. And he couldn't even see. Fly away, free bird, and take your rest
Amazing. Simply amazing. Jeff Healy was one of the few guitarists who could reach down and touch your soul. He had the ability to draw emotion from his guitar that only a handful of great mucisians could.

Jeff ,jedan od najboljih blues gitatista koji iako slep bogom dobio ovakav talenat i jedinstven stil sviranja gitare.
This is one smokin' hot blues by the Master himself ......... why do the great ones have to leave us so ......
I had heard him back in the 90's but lost track of him, and didn't know he had died. What a class act. You won't be forgotten.
This is an indelible proof that the sensitivity doesn´t need to have physical eyes, but spiritual ones.
Come on!!! Wow!!! Can he play. And look how he does it. Guitar in his lap, awesome
A privelige to listen this absolute excellence
WOW Brings back memories of 1991 in Edmonton Alberta where he Played in concert at the Convention Center on Jasper Ave.I had the privilege to be at the front of the stage about 15 feet away from Jeff,watching in amazement as he played.A concert I will never forget.

such a legend
After listening to this for a few seconds.....It becomes you...An inseparable u.
He's never gonna be overlooked as far as I'm concerned, Jeff was an inspiration to all guitarists World over RIP Jeff Healey
He plays NOT a great guitar but it is played as if it were an extension of a body part of his. Gives a whole new definition to the word, musician! God take care of this soul!
Got to see him play few times while living in Toronto at the Riv on Rivalda Rd. New Years Eve thing. Mike S.

Jeff was one of the best blues men/guitarist to ever grace these ears. Thanks for posting this.

No Words can express the mans singing and playing! R.I.P. was taking away way to soon!!!

Underappreciated underrated legend..the best kind.
The way blues should be played...simply awesome

Had the privelege of seeing him at Alberts Hall Toronto. Amazing talent..RIP Jeff.
Saw him in 1990. A 2 hour set and 4 encores. Was so good they wouldn'tlet him go home! That note at 1:02 is an icepick through the heart.
Thanks for the history lesson.
He is the epitome of Blues!
