I'm so sorry to Toni & Donna. That's heartbreaking. I came to comment on here bcuz my husband & I had this as our wedding song & it's our 33rd anniversary. I'm so lucky to still have him. Five yrs ago he had a heart attack, they put a stent in. Then recently he has chest pain, burning, shortness of breath & he went to the hospital. They needed to put a new stent in, the old one was completely blocked & he was in the verge of another heart attack. Now he has a valve condition & will need a couple of valves replaced. I feel so bad for him. He's a great guy, an amazing husband, father, Grampa, son, brother, & friend. I am hoping to celebrate our 50th someday. 🙏💕😍💑👫💏
My wife of 15 years died this week. We will bury her tomorrow. Playing some favorite songs and this one expresses how I felt about her every day we were together. Thank you for finding the words to express my heart. Love you Annie. Miss you.
So very sorry for your loss!! Prayers for you and your family and friends!! That's the magic of music...you are transported to a "better time"...and those memories will always be a part of you!! Blessings to you and yours, Grace
I have been married to my sweetheart for 52 years and I love her more every second of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every year!!!! She was 17 and I was 20 when I married my angel. Now we are in the winter of our lives and I thank God every day she turned her angels eyes my way.
Very beautifully said i felt the same about my wife who i met when i was 20 and she also was 21 ironically this was the first song we danced to. She passed on jan 6 2021 from covid at age 53 . I will always remember her asking me to dance . I knew instantly we would be together forever. God how i wish i could have one more dance with her
Ed C ~ Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful love story with all of us. Reminds me so much of my great grandparents ~ who I was so fortunate to have grown up around them and all of my wonderful family ~ They also married young as it was done back in the day ~ They married as teens and were together forever ~ to have grown up around that kind of pure love was a true blessing for me, personally. Great grammie and grampie both lived to be in their late ninety's ~ So beautifully said "The winter of our lives" as I live in Northern Maine (Presque Isle) Been here going on 21 years now and the longest I've ever lived anywhere as I truly have a nomadic soul. When I seen you say "The winter of our lives" ~ They winters are truly long here and I just turned 61 this past March and the winters are getting rough on me and then, I stop and think of my great grandparents who lived their entire lives here ~ with a huge family surrounding them ~ they survived it and never heard them complain not one time ever about the winters ~ So, I'm going to take a page from their book and realize that every minute God grants me is a minute I will never take for granted. Thank you, once again for sharing such a beautiful story of pure love. Enjoy together ~ The winter of your lives ~ God Bless both of you today (Mothers' Day 2021) and every minute you have to cherish and love one another. ♥ +
Still listening in September, 2024, and I am soon to be 77 years old next month! I am a sassy, sexy, hair nation rock music loving grandmother and trying to teach my grandchildren the great music of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and even some into today’s music!
I was lying next to my wife singing her to sleep in 1996 when she was pregnant with our first child 24 yrs ago I still sing to her today she is my soulmate
My wife of 35 year's and I use to listen to this song when we first started dating, what wonderful time in history the 80s were the best and so was the music. Rip 🙏 Jeff..
Jeff Healey is proof that you don't have to see to be able to read music... It's a true gift that lies deep within the soul! This is one of the most beautiful songs that comes from within the soul... that deeply touches one's soul. ❤ May you Rest In Peace Jeff ... your Legacy will endure forever!! ♾️ Thank you for sharing. 💖
Jeff was just pure talent he loved music n he could express himself without reading music he just spoke from his heart. I will forever treasure this song forever 🎵🎼💟🎧🎤
Beautiful song and a great voice. Those of you that have this kind of relationship, please thank God for it. You really don't know how extremely blessed you are.
I'm a grown man 62 years of age when I watch Jeff Healey, a blind man singing this song, I just have to cry every once in awhile that's what I do. Jeff Healey was a great blessing to this world taken in the prime of his life and he is sorely missed
That's doesn't mean he didn't have talent and soul. It's not amazing. What's amazing is his talent shown thru. Even if it wasnt enduring over decades he still had a brief moment.
R.I.P. Jeff, Still listening in 2019. Artist and musicians just don’t put their heart and soul in their music like they use to!!!! Road house wouldn’t have been the same great movie it was, if it wasn’t for this band also!!!
I agree with you, the artist's today sure don't put their all in their music they produce. So much of it is digital enhance and wrote by someone else for them to get famous from the writer's work and creative mind, heart & soul.
Had a slow skate to this song with the guy who would be my Junior prom date back in 1994. Never saw him again after prom night... then less than a week of being on a dating ap post divorce he messaged me. More than 2 decades after that slow skate we're discovering how perfect we are for each other.
I'm so happy for you both that you found each other. I wish that some thing like that would happen to me. I have been on several dating sites for 5 years and I haven't found anyone yet. Congratulations to you!!!!
Truly well stated. God gives us gifts that are for His glory. I stand amazed at those who have physical disabilities but put us able bodied people to the test. This is a beautiful song and your comment gives me goosebumps! Very thought provoking. May God bless you abundantly.
Yes, yes yes, beautiful voice love this song. Been listening 2 it sense I was like 15! Me & one of my very best friend use to sing this at the bar karaoke, but he died 2 yrs ago & miss him so much. He had an incredible voice!
'Road House' will always be one of my top 5 movies EVER! Patrick Swayze and Ben Gazzara will incredible in that movie but loved that Jeff and his band were in it too! They made a kick-ass movie all the better with a phenomenal soundtrack! I guess I just found my wedding song that my girlfriend and I will dance to when she becomes my loving wife in a year and a half! I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH Helen!!! You complete me in EVERY way a man can possibly be!
I have only just discovered Roadhouse 2 weeks ago and I've already watched it about 10 times! I love it. My favourite Patrick Swayze film. And the soundtrack is awesome, mostly due to Jeff Healey, who I've also only just discovered! Incredible.
@@TOM_OUTDOORS I' ve always loved that movie , from the very first time and its soundtrack too ..... Absolutely Brilliant ! I still love It ! Also , I love all the music of Jeff Healey and all the movies of Patrick Swayze . Something very special , for me . Greetings from Italy !
my husband messaged me this song and a couple days later passed away in a terrible car accident. this song means the world to me. R.I.P. Edward Wilhite. I love you with all i got
This was the song my husband Charlie sang to me walking down the isle at OUR WEDDING, he means the world to me and my first marriage ever. What a gentleman and I know he loves me so. RIP your awesome JEFF!!
My wife and I met to this song, she was in 7th grade and me 8th. Today, 08/13/2016 we have two awesome kids and still going strong! I not ashamed to say I still cry when I hear this song. We had no idea but I know this, she is my sun rise every morning!!! She is my best friend ever, I love you Brandy! This year BTW will be 16 years of a best friends marriage!
Wow, I remember they would play this song for the last chance to dance with someone at the skating ring. That was back in the 90's, and I still love it in 2018. Who else?
This once in a lifetime shooting star of a talent forever made his mark in history with quite possibly the greatest love ballad of ALL time.. I'd put "Angel Eyes"up there against anything in the past 50 years.
Great song. Great musician. More importantly - great person. This man didn't let his blindness define him, only motivate him to overcome and help others with disabilities. A hero
This song is still one of my best love song since it came out back in 1988. Off course I’m still listening this song now in my room in 2023 after 35 years.
MY husband sung this to me in the middle of a bowling alley ! HIS name is Gary Thompson . he's not in this world ANYMORE.passed at a very young age gave me a beautiful daughter. Ashley Thompson . MISS him terribly everyday . thank you for such a beautiful memory with this song !
I heard this song when i marred sam .i was so in love.buy he passed a way.i have been married 3 Times an all 3 was a different love. An verey spelly love
Jeff didnt need to see with his eyes. That man saw clearly with his heart. I'm a hip hop fan first but this song right here?! It gives me chills and goosebumps they way Jeff wrote and performed purely from the heart. Timeless.
Amen. I've loved this song since it came out in the '80s and revisit it on RUclips from time to time. When I began to deal with vision loss due to a degenerative corneal disease 10 years ago, Jeff Healey became a true rock star. His story is tragic, but his music lives on. He is indeed an inspiration to many, including myself, who is seeing the world better with one not-so-fun corneal transplant thus far and one to go. I'll never have 20/20 uncorrected vision again (or maybe even corrected), but I'm grateful to not be where I was a few years ago. To everyone with advanced keratoconus, you can do it and it really can be worse.
@@oceans.and.deserts Thanks for sharing your inspirational story of your vision struggles!!! What an inspiration you are for others!! Blessings as you continue on your journey!!! Praying all goes well for you. Peace and happiness, Grace
Matt brooks 8004190333 im coming home too u today my hott love matt brooks yes yes i am just so u know i said yes yes omg love u forever and ever its kristin tate ur hott hott fiance hott sex sex sex love u so much
I had the honor of opening for him in Louisville in 1989 when I played in a upand coming band we had the chance to make it but our jobs took us on another path jeff was such a great guy RIP
Laying here in bed with the memories of this song, so much so, I had to listen again. My husband, along with his sister and friends called me in the middle of the night and sang this to me. And I crumbled. And I said yes. And we started dating. And we moved in with each other within a few months. 5 years later we married. Everyday was pure happiness. 20 years later, I became a widow. In a blink of an eye. Let the one you love know it every day. You don’t know if you’ll ever get a second chance.
GOD BLESS. IVE LOST ALL BUT MY MOTHER AND SONS. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO REMARRY. MY HUSBAND HAD HEART DISEASE. I LIVE WITH THAT FEAR. TRULY FROM MY HEART, LOVE YOURSELF. LIVE FOR YOU NOW, SOUNDS KINDA HOKEY, BUT FROM MY HEART PRAY TO LIVE FOR YOU. WE ALL HAVE BUT A SHORT WHILE
We don't know how long we have on this earth. My sweet husband passed away suddenly 10 years ago. He was only 55. We always said, I love you before going to bed. I'm so glad we did that. I make sure the people in my life know how I feel about them.
Gives me chills every time I hear this song!!! Such a talented and gifted musician is Jeff Healey!! To think he was blind and sang and played guitar like this is amazing!! RIP Jeff, your legend and music live on!!
If you are part of the 4.4 thousand people who gave a thumbs down to this song You have no concept of good music or extraordinary talent. Artists from this era had true musical talent and their lyrics told a story that elicited real emotion. The majority of Today’s music is nothing but Auto Tuned and meaningless repetitive words. R.I.P. Jeff Healy
Hear Hear! Today's stuff is pathetic. Back in the day, you actually had to know how to play an instrument (or several), know how to sing and be a good singer, be a good entertainer and put on a good show and do it for far less than these jokes of today. This is why 60s through 80s music is STILL broadcast on countless stations all over the country and will be still in another 50 years.
I think it was a reoccurence from the cancer he had as a child, but it just set into his legs and then spread to his lungs. Just my own thoughts on how cancer occurs.
This was my 1st dance song at my wedding. Not married to him anymore, but this song makes me remember I definitely loved him deeply once. Thankfully, we were able to get past the pain and anger and become friends again. Since we are raising children, it truly is for the best for everyone. 💗
First dance at my wedding too... Married 18 years, but divorced now. I loved her so much, shame she decided to step out. We too are raising children, we communicate in the best interests of the kids, but we are not friends. Ironically her name was Nicole too.
Nicole is my daughters name!! Beautiful......I envy you. It is such a blessing to be able to get past, and CO-PARENT, my gosh....if only......she's 20 now, but still, she needs her father. She wants to have him in her life. He was never my partner, and yet he refuses to speak to me or co-parent. I've heard her cry at night because of the pain she feels about him. Blessings to you, Nicole, and your family!!
Still one of my all time favorite songs. I know it's possible, to make good music- I knew/know my my BFF, Martin Austin. mainly a drummer, but he play the guitar , piano, harmonica & sings all by what he hears, he has been in a couple Local successful Bands. From Minneapolis. opened The bar "Whiskey Junction" off of Cedar Ave. in MPLS., Minnesota. One of the bands nae he was in was called "The Saloonatics" Ironic, He & is wife Sue, live in Cedar, MN. I rented the basement , His uncles "the Houly Brothers was inducted into the Minnesota Hall of fame. Many of his uncles have the heredity eye disease. Guys/Gals can't have BFF's when either or get a woman & marry her/him.
A truly beautiful song and an even more amazing musician. ...if anyone has not read this page regrading Mr. Healey, it is very well written. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Healey
@@malkneilThat may be true, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. Though you should really takes some time to think about where does everything in the Universe come from, and how do living things exist and create more living things. It's pretty incredible how all living things work so perfectly and serve a purpose, even all the way down to bacteria. Maybe there's a God and angels and all that, or maybe there's not...But something is in control. She can believe what she wants, like you can believe what you want. There's no right or wrong. That's why it's called faith.
This is a masterpiece from the 80's and will allways be on my top of my playlist. He died too young. Beautiful voice and song 2019. Man wishing I could go back to the 80's for many reasons.
I was born in 1962 and turned 62 July 2024.i can relate to this song. This beautiful woman who took a chance on me walked into my life 30 years later still going strong. Still here September 2024!!!!
Jeff was a brilliant guitarist with a unique way of playing. I had the privilege to see him play live on two occasions and at one of them he played this song when all the audience pleaded 'Play Angel Eyes' when Jeff asked for requests! Sorely missed. A true guitar legend.
My dad passed away in Oct 2020 and his friend sang this song to me and informed me that it was a song they both loved to sing karaoke and I never heard my dad sing this song but when I listen to it I can hear his voice ❤️
My husband and I too..41years 9months and 3days. He passed away recently after a TBI and a broken neck. 💔 Here listening alone..1st time since we were both listening... 🙏 RIP PATRICK 😇 👀....4evr
he's the smartest man in the world he sees Beauty with his eyes closed. Not saying being blind is good but sees more than me and I'm not blind. His music is beautiful.
If this is love, why does it scare me so.... I met my wife when this song was strong on the airwaves. We parted ways, bit I still love her. We got 3 kids, and I was finally loved unconditionally. Too you Teresa, thank you for loving me when I didn't believe in myself. And kids that no matter how bad Dad can be, love me just the same.
@DavidDuvall-um6mh You're lucky. I can't seem to reach mine from USA to UK with no point of contact other than very slim Facebook posts of his I've liked. 😢😢
My first live concert was Jeff Healey at The Thebarton theatre, Adelaide, Australia. I was there front and centre leaning against the stage. Still the most awe inspiring concert I've ever been to. Thanks for the Music Jeff.... You'll never be forgotten
The first time I heard this song was at a bar with my fiance. He played it on the jukebox and we danced. Eight years later, and this is still our song, and he still thinks I'm his angel.
@@timrowe8123 well... Lol... Actually nothing much came of it.. I was young so just wasn't meant to happen... Just one of those special things you remember 😊innocence and all.
Awww. I was also in high school when it came out. Wish I could go back and live it all again! Here's a dedication to all the '70s babies and girls with big hair (mine was naturally big and curly so my absolute heyday). 😉
This is the first song I ever heard from Jeff and I was instantly hooked, his voice was amazing and his emotions were poured into every song for us to feel. R.I.P Jeff, you are sorely missed!!
I am stunned that Jeff Healy passed away. I love this beautiful song and the music and lyrics are amazing and meaningful. May it always make people feel good !!! R.I.P. Jeff Love your voice and you always
Probably the most underrated guitarist ever!
And hes blind....he could definitely rock out
Was so sad to hear he was sick, he was such a great performer.
I agree with that! And the fact he was blind, and how he played his guitar, made it even better!
agreed
Awesome and very special human being that ever played a guitar the he did ! Peace be with you always my friend !
Who keeps Jeff’s memory alive in 2024? ❤❤❤
He’s gone??? 😢
Just received the Roadhouse full sessions album on vinyl, still loving Jeff Healey.
One of my favorite singers 😢
Ya know, it's one thing to be thought of as an idiot. It's altogether a different thing make a comment and prove it.
Do you play a guitar?
@@stephentravis6127great call!
I was married 38 years & my husband used to sing this to me at night. He passed away in 2020 & I miss this.
So sorry for your loss. But what a wonderful man you had that sang this to you at night. I hope that gives you some peace and wonderful memories.

You just have to sort through the weeds to find the flowers.
I agree; I seem to lose in love..I apparently have a, 'broken picker'. It seems that most every man that I choose is, to put it mildy, a jackass
This song is too beautiful to be expressed in words. RIP Jeff Healey.. Your songs always with us..
This is a great song,Jeff.May you Rest In Peace!
I love this song reminds me of my first wife I should have held on to her but was to stupid to do so
AMEN to that sister
Born in 88 but I appreciate this man so much.... One of the greatest !!! I love his music
I wish you to be alwayz with your man :)

So true it's sad
I am 56 and feel the same way
Stevie Ray found this man he is real good

What is so amazing about this song is that Jeff was ...blind.. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it
He had cancer that took his vision and eventually his life
That's doesn't mean he didn't have talent and soul. It's not amazing. What's amazing is his talent shown thru. Even if it wasnt enduring over decades he still had a brief moment.
Sure was a good looking guy too... mmm❤
It makes me cry too!😢😢😢😢

Perfect example of how someone can be given so much with very little to go on. Take nothing for granted and use every gift God gave you.

Such a talented musician gone to soon...RIP Jeff Healey
Love it and Road House was one of best kick ass movies of the 80's, possibly of all. You just don't get them like this anymore.
yes, i loved the song and the movie.
I have only just discovered Roadhouse 2 weeks ago and I've already watched it about 10 times! I love it. My favourite Patrick Swayze film. And the soundtrack is awesome, mostly due to Jeff Healey, who I've also only just discovered! Incredible.
@@TOM_OUTDOORS I' ve always loved that movie , from the very first time and its soundtrack too ..... Absolutely Brilliant ! I still love It ! Also , I love all the music of Jeff Healey and all the movies of Patrick Swayze . Something very special , for me . Greetings from Italy !
Straight up
AMEN
This is music. Reminds me of Road House... Rip Patrick and Jeff . My favorite movie
IronMan #1 just love his voice! He left this world way too young 💙
IronMan #1 Jeff died?

Love hearing stories, like that
My wife and I met to this song, she was in 7th grade and me 8th. Today, 08/13/2016 we have two awesome kids and still going strong! I not ashamed to say I still cry when I hear this song. We had no idea but I know this, she is my sun rise every morning!!!

Gives me hope for marriage! That's awesome
All good things
SWADE Productions awesome dude! Good to hear news like that
I love this song your story is so sweet going on 26 years my Husband
Wow, I remember they would play this song for the last chance to dance with someone at the skating ring. That was back in the 90's, and I still love it in 2018. Who else?
Joshua Sosebee I’m listening to it right now
I hear ya!! o the great skating ring !!!! those were the days
Specially all nighters on Fridays
Limbo
Me. Loved those dances and skating. I'm a 80s and 90s kid too. Born in late 70s I have a wide range of music and this is close to top of my list.
This once in a lifetime shooting star of a talent forever made his mark in history with quite possibly the greatest love ballad of ALL time.. I'd put "Angel Eyes"up there against anything in the past 50 years.
Totally agree
Truth!
Great song. Great musician. More importantly - great person. This man didn't let his blindness define him, only motivate him to overcome and help others with disabilities. A hero
+Bill Rabara Well said...
+Bill Rabara amen
Very well said Bill.

very inspiring musician!!
I'll be playing this at my wedding if I ever get married. I've always loved it, even though it was before my time. Amazing natural talent.
He passed away few years back ...if you seen the movie roadhouse with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott he was the band at the bar..
This was my parents wedding song
This was mine and my husband's wedding song almost 21 years ago. It's been our song for going on 31 years
It's a amazing song I'd like find that kinda Love.
This was my Wedding Song
He was adorable, what he couldn't see, he could say. His heart
❤
This song is still one of my best love song since it came out back in 1988. Off course I’m still listening this song now in my room in 2023 after 35 years.
Good for you 😅
Priceless ballad, Priceless musician.
MY husband sung this to me in the middle of a bowling alley ! HIS name is Gary Thompson . he's not in this world ANYMORE.passed at a very young age gave me a beautiful daughter. Ashley Thompson . MISS him terribly everyday . thank you for such a beautiful memory with this song !
:(
"May God keep you always together. Amen."
He'll always be watching. Just remember, it was your angel eyes that drew him too you and true love never leaves.
So sorry for your loss.
I heard this song when i marred sam .i was so in love.buy he passed a way.i have been married 3 Times an all 3 was a different love. An verey spelly love
Jeff didnt need to see with his eyes. That man saw clearly with his heart. I'm a hip hop fan first but this song right here?! It gives me chills and goosebumps they way Jeff wrote and performed purely from the heart. Timeless.
Angel Eyes written by John Hiatt.
Hes blind
@@shannonmorrison7455 Thank you
Omg I have chills right now
@@jeffschuler5659 I didn't know he was blind I mean sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like a statement it was more of a question
I request this song all the time and no one knows it😢. Really? How is this not a classic? ❤
must be around a bunch of young people. This was a hit back in the day.
I sing it to my wife when we go out.
these kids today wouldnt know good music if it hit them in the face lol
It is a classic we know
I am from Bristol Tennessee, we have a local band called Ivy Road, they do a fantastic version of this song.
My fiancé chose this song for our first dance this October.. I can’t wait … totally fell in love all over again ❤
Hello Michelle how are you doing today???
This guy was such a great musician and an inspiration to all disabled people RIP
not many know(now-a-days) he was blind. Or adopted. What a beautiful human
Amen. I've loved this song since it came out in the '80s and revisit it on RUclips from time to time. When I began to deal with vision loss due to a degenerative corneal disease 10 years ago, Jeff Healey became a true rock star. His story is tragic, but his music lives on. He is indeed an inspiration to many, including myself, who is seeing the world better with one not-so-fun corneal transplant thus far and one to go. I'll never have 20/20 uncorrected vision again (or maybe even corrected), but I'm grateful to not be where I was a few years ago. To everyone with advanced keratoconus, you can do it and it really can be worse.
@@oceans.and.deserts Thanks for sharing your inspirational story of your vision struggles!!! What an inspiration you are for others!! Blessings as you continue on your journey!!! Praying all goes well for you. Peace and happiness, Grace
One of the greatest blind man playing the guitar in all my time of life 1977 still going 43 I love th his band so much I listen to it every single day
I didnt even know he passed away :-(
How could anyone not love this? His voice, his skill as a musician, this song... I just don’t get it 🤷♀️
Matt brooks 8004190333 im coming home too u today my hott love matt brooks yes yes i am just so u know i said yes yes omg love u forever and ever its kristin tate ur hott hott fiance hott sex sex sex love u so much

Plenty of us love this, sweetheart.
Because people dont have taste no more
Nathan Krush yes indeed, proud to be in that group ♥️
I'm very proud to have been an opening act for him...
He's the best
Really wow
Awesome brother
I had the honor of opening for him in Louisville in 1989 when I played in a upand coming band we had the chance to make it but our jobs took us on another path jeff was such a great guy RIP
@@tony3434 that's awesome, is he as sweet as he seems???
Jeff was barely 20 years old when this hit the charts! Good ol days.
Laying here in bed with the memories of this song, so much so, I had to listen again. My husband, along with his sister and friends called me in the middle of the night and sang this to me. And I crumbled. And I said yes. And we started dating. And we moved in with each other within a few months. 5 years later we married. Everyday was pure happiness. 20 years later, I became a widow. In a blink of an eye. Let the one you love know it every day. You don’t know if you’ll ever get a second chance.
So sorry for your loss sis. 💗
Thats really sad...but really awesome!!!!!
GOD BLESS. IVE LOST ALL BUT MY MOTHER AND SONS. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO REMARRY. MY HUSBAND HAD HEART DISEASE. I LIVE WITH THAT FEAR. TRULY FROM MY HEART, LOVE YOURSELF. LIVE FOR YOU NOW, SOUNDS KINDA HOKEY, BUT FROM MY HEART PRAY TO LIVE FOR YOU. WE ALL HAVE BUT A SHORT WHILE
Bless you💔
We don't know how long we have on this earth. My sweet husband passed away suddenly 10 years ago. He was only 55. We always said, I
love you before going to bed. I'm so glad we did that. I make sure the people in my life know how I feel about them.
Gives me chills every time I hear this song!!! Such a talented and gifted musician is Jeff Healey!! To think he was blind and sang and played guitar like this is amazing!! RIP Jeff, your legend and music live on!!
Same here!!!
Same here
They seriously need to bring music back like this
Nah. We can keep listening to the gems like this.
July 2, 2024 - Rediscovered this gem! Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦 ✌️
Awesome, South Africa has been on my bucket list for forever but retired at 70 years old unfortunately I don't think it will ever happen. Be well.
If you are part of the 4.4 thousand people who gave a thumbs down to this song You have no concept of good music or extraordinary talent. Artists from this era had true musical talent and their lyrics told a story that elicited real emotion. The majority of Today’s music is nothing but Auto Tuned and meaningless repetitive words.
R.I.P. Jeff Healy
Preach!
If they can't appreciate anything this honest and pure......to Hell with them....
Hear Hear! Today's stuff is pathetic. Back in the day, you actually had to know how to play an instrument (or several), know how to sing and be a good singer, be a good entertainer and put on a good show and do it for far less than these jokes of today. This is why 60s through 80s music is STILL broadcast on countless stations all over the country and will be still in another 50 years.
Chrystal Hendrix if you turned a thumbs down to this song you are a f×&"*?g idiot
Yessssss! That man was blind!!! This is my all time favorite song!!! Rip Jeff Healy
This song takes me back to 1989! I love this song!!! Back when music was good!!!
Ain’t that right bro me too... good times
Gone so soon. So young. Passed away at age 41 on 3/2/08 from lung cancer. Poor guy. May he RIP.
How did he get lung cancer?Did he smoke?
Not sure. He was an occasional smoker.
I think it was a reoccurence from the cancer he had as a child, but it just set into his legs and then spread to his lungs. Just my own thoughts on how cancer occurs.
we work in second hand smoke, especially in Jeff's time
line.
Sorry bud nothing to do with smoking. Or second hand. In other words LOOK it up. RIP Jeff.
1:43 Still listening July 2024 all the way from Tucson Arizona 🙏❤️👍🌵🤠🥃🥃
Still listening to Jeff . August 2024.
❤❤❤❤Listening in June 2024! I love this song!
This was my 1st dance song at my wedding. Not married to him anymore, but this song makes me remember I definitely loved him deeply once. Thankfully, we were able to get past the pain and anger and become friends again. Since we are raising children, it truly is for the best for everyone. 💗
Thanks Nicole 🎊🤙😘🤙😊
First dance at my wedding too... Married 18 years, but divorced now. I loved her so much, shame she decided to step out. We too are raising children, we communicate in the best interests of the kids, but we are not friends. Ironically her name was Nicole too.
Nicole is my daughters name!! Beautiful......I envy you. It is such a blessing to be able to get past, and CO-PARENT, my gosh....if only......she's 20 now, but still, she needs her father. She wants to have him in her life.
He was never my partner, and yet he refuses to speak to me or co-parent. I've heard her cry at night because of the pain she feels about him.
Blessings to you, Nicole, and your family!!
YOU WERE BLESS TO BE A BLESSING TO EVERYONE MY BROTHER.
GODS SPEED.
Gone too soon he was an awesome musician RIP Jeff Healey
RIP Jeff. I hope you are looking into the eyes of real angels brother.
He can see now.
***** March 2, 2008
Still one of my all time favorite songs. I know it's possible, to make good music- I knew/know my my BFF, Martin Austin. mainly a drummer, but he play the guitar , piano, harmonica & sings all by what he hears, he has been in a couple Local successful Bands. From Minneapolis. opened The bar "Whiskey Junction" off of Cedar Ave. in MPLS., Minnesota. One of the bands nae he was in was called "The Saloonatics" Ironic, He & is wife Sue, live in Cedar, MN. I rented the basement , His uncles "the Houly Brothers was inducted into the Minnesota Hall of fame. Many of his uncles have the heredity eye disease. Guys/Gals can't have BFF's when either or get a woman & marry her/him.
A truly beautiful song and an even more amazing musician.
...if anyone has not read this page regrading Mr. Healey, it is very well written.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Healey
Denise Bodinski this was my wedding song truly amazing
They need to make a biopic of this man. An absolute inspiration.
I couldn’t agree more.
biography movie is in the works, Christie announced. Cant wait
Awesome😅
they do especially for the time in his life when he was playing at that bar with some famous bouncer named dalton 🤣
already in the works and the movie is going to be released in Fall of 2024
One hell of a singer. He is missed today RIP Jeff Healey and let your music live on brother.
Great song ever
Yeah watch out for those spanish woman the most beautiful woman in the world
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
This song is so sexy.He had the angel eyes.RIP. J.H.He saw beauty with no sight.
Great observation...classic. My wedding song.
Yes he did
Touch'e
Beautiful voice such a talent playing the guitar
Joi Williams Like Jeff, my girlfriend is blind and can see amazing things people with vision cant
The good die young!Rip Jeff Healey you are lookin' through the angel's eyes now
Amen to that 🙏
Yes he is.❤❤
There's no proof there's a god of any kind. I find solace that he impacted people while he was living. Somehow that's enough for me.
@@malkneil
Its not about proof its about FAITH
@@malkneilThat may be true, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. Though you should really takes some time to think about where does everything in the Universe come from, and how do living things exist and create more living things. It's pretty incredible how all living things work so perfectly and serve a purpose, even all the way down to bacteria. Maybe there's a God and angels and all that, or maybe there's not...But something is in control. She can believe what she wants, like you can believe what you want. There's no right or wrong. That's why it's called faith.
Still listening in 2022! 😍😍 Rest easy, Jeff Healy! 😇🕊🎤🎵🎸❤
Still listening to such a beautiful song in 2023
Watching Jeff in the original Roadhouse was enough for me. Him and Dalton (Patrick Swayze) had me as fans forever. RIP to both legends who are missed.
This is a masterpiece from the 80's and will allways be on my top of my playlist. He died too young. Beautiful voice and song 2019. Man wishing I could go back to the 80's for many reasons.
Me Too!
Me three!
This and If I could just hold you again stays on repeat.
Wish I could live the rest of my life in this era.
Jeff, this song still reaches me today. A true legend.
Jeff passed in 2008.
Very tragic 😥
Died way too young
Its about ten years since their passing. RIP to Jeff and Patrick two very talented gentleman.
Which one is Patrick
@@c-mankendall2825 Patrick Swayze, he was in Roadhouse with Jeff.
I was born in 1962 and turned 62 July 2024.i can relate to this song. This beautiful woman who took a chance on me walked into my life 30 years later still going strong. Still here September 2024!!!!
Jeff was a brilliant guitarist with a unique way of playing. I had the privilege to see him play live on two occasions and at one of them he played this song when all the audience pleaded 'Play Angel Eyes' when Jeff asked for requests! Sorely missed. A true guitar legend.
I wish I could have seen that. I fell like I missed out for his passing.
Sitting on the intercoastal watching the Dolphins
Listening to my music.
So blessed you are to have seen him play live! He was an amazing musician!🎵🎸
RIP Jeff Healey 🙏
The Voice brought me here! RIP Jeff Healey.
My dad passed away in Oct 2020 and his friend sang this song to me and informed me that it was a song they both loved to sing karaoke and I never heard my dad sing this song but when I listen to it I can hear his voice ❤️
Hold on to that memory. It would be so cool if his friend has a tape of it.
Weird flex....
That is beautiful.
I've been with my wonderful husband 40 years we are soul mates and this is our story
My husband and I too..41years 9months and 3days. He passed away recently after a TBI and a broken neck. 💔 Here listening alone..1st time since we were both listening... 🙏 RIP PATRICK 😇 👀....4evr
One of the most underrated guitarists ever, Jeff we miss you.
he's the smartest man in the world he sees Beauty with his eyes closed. Not saying being blind is good but sees more than me and I'm not blind. His music is beautiful.
most of us fail to see beauty with eyes. Jeff had a gift of soul sight!
Mark Zmayefski
Absolutely
He feels beauty with his heart and soul
What a beautiful person and gift he was in this world 🌎
An Gel uui
Mark Zmayefski your comment deserves a ♥in my book.
Sometimes you can see more without your sight.
Such simple lyrics but his voice turned it into a masterpiece.
completely beautiful song!!
+Mike Wagner Indeed.
U know it
lilly2874 his voice is awesome. Hard song to sing!
The voice
Listen to him alot love this song ❤ oct 9 2024 ..fly High legend
I know I may not be the desire of every man in the room. But I am for one and that’s enough for me!💖😌
If this is love, why does it scare me so.... I met my wife when this song was strong on the airwaves. We parted ways, bit I still love her. We got 3 kids, and I was finally loved unconditionally. Too you Teresa, thank you for loving me when I didn't believe in myself. And kids that no matter how bad Dad can be, love me just the same.
I had someone once that loved me that much
Me too! GREAT SONG
RIP Jeff! Such a talented musician with a loving heart. This song takes my breath every time I hear it.
I'm 68 my life has really changed since I met my soul mate my Lisa she is the love of a life time she is 55 we are truly a match made in heaven❤❤❤
@DavidDuvall-um6mh
You're lucky. I can't seem to reach mine from USA to UK with no point of contact other than very slim Facebook posts of his I've liked. 😢😢
My husband played this for me on the jukebox the night he proposed 16years now this song still touches my heart.
My first live concert was Jeff Healey at The Thebarton theatre, Adelaide, Australia. I was there front and centre leaning against the stage.
Still the most awe inspiring concert I've ever been to.
Thanks for the Music Jeff.... You'll never be forgotten
Who is listening to this 2020 a great song Jeff Healey is good guitar it's sad Jeff Healey RIP. 😎🤘🤘
Condolences 🙏 take care everyone
Jeff is a treasure that will always be missed.
The first time I heard this song was at a bar with my fiance. He played it on the jukebox and we danced. Eight years later, and this is still our song, and he still thinks I'm his angel.
Sweet, on New Years Eve I celebrated our 43 years together!
Little does he know...
Hell ya that's awesome this song is me and my wife wedding song the best Rock on guys
If you don't love this there is something seriously wrong with you!
ABSOLUTELY one of the sexiest songs.
Amazing, Breathtaking song A BLESSED man with a God given voice, gone from us way too early, I pray he's singing in a Angel band when I get home
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you are having a great day?
He'll be there 😇
I too pray that I will see all those who brought wonderful music that touched my soul when I finally am able to go home.
Well said! I to hope Jeff is singing in heaven!!!! Beautiful sweet awesome man!!!!
Way to go Cindy 👏 😇
First song ever dedicated to me on the radio from a crush when I was in high school...:) sweet memory...😏
Nice
😥
Did you give him the time of day?
@@timrowe8123 well... Lol... Actually nothing much came of it.. I was young so just wasn't meant to happen... Just one of those special things you remember 😊innocence and all.
Awww. I was also in high school when it came out. Wish I could go back and live it all again! Here's a dedication to all the '70s babies and girls with big hair (mine was naturally big and curly so my absolute heyday). 😉
This man is blind and still plays amazingly. Very talented and blessed. He came out in the movie, Road House
He Was Great In Road House!!
Played with stevie ray Vaughn too
Вчера с мужем смотрели этот фильм с Патриком Суэйзи, так я узнала об этом музыканте.
I just love this song so much Thanx Jeff you truly had a gift!
With all due respect Jeff was the gift.
I know right
one of the greats
talented singer with a very special gift.
He had a great heart to write this. .
Listening from Kentucky August 22,2024 5:30am. He was amazing ❤
This is the first song I ever heard from Jeff and I was instantly hooked, his voice was amazing and his emotions were poured into every song for us to feel. R.I.P Jeff, you are sorely missed!!
I was at work doing my security paper and it was on radio that was 20 yrs ago
I am stunned that Jeff Healy passed away. I love this beautiful song and the music and lyrics are amazing and meaningful. May it always make people feel good !!! R.I.P. Jeff Love your voice and you always
