Thank you for this. He was and still is a Canadian Treasure and one of the most amazing artists I ever seen in my life. We're proud of him. RIP Jeff Healey.

Jeff Healy was diagnosed with eye cancer when he was less than 5 years old. The resulting surgery/treatment left him blind. He learned how to play blind and was an amazing musician. Sadly, the cancer returned short of his 30th birthday, and that time, he did pass away from it. Gone to soon, like many talented people.

yeah it was a shitty thing to happen. he left us a lot of good jams though. I had a friend go to brain cancer the same way. they got it, and he was in remission for a couple years, then the shit came back with a wicked and aggressive vengeance. treatment didn't work he was dead within a couple months. he helped me get a job in october and he was dead by december.

Brings me to tears. Seemed like such a kind and humble man. Couldn’t see….but he had a vision. Didn’t play holding the guitar the traditional way….he forged his own path. A perfect example of not letting anything stop you from doing what you want to do.

Jeff was 2 years old when he got cancer and lost his sight. Not 5 years. But ok 2 years or 5 years is equally terrible. And Jeff was not in his thirties when he died. Jeff was 42 when he died of cancer.

I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff Healey live......twice. His studio recordings are amazing. His live performances........mind-blowing. 🤯🤯🤯

Great to see Jeff getting some props here; when he performed this song live in concert, some believed he could see a bit. Not so, as he suffered from retinoblastoma, a rare cancer which necessitated the removal of both eyes at 8 months of age. It certainly never hindered his playing or singing, as evidenced in this video. He's sorely missed by music lovers. RIP, Jeff.

Jeff Healey Band was in "Road House", playing a house band, but they did some of the best covers I've ever heard from any house band.

Jeff's cover of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is the only cover of that song that I like.

In the dictionary next to the word "incendiary," there should just be a picture of Jeff Healey. Rest in peace, Canadian King.

It really is the first word that comes to mind listening to him go.

I met Jeff when I was a kid outside one of his concerts in Northern California. Really nice guy.

That's Dr. John on the keys......superstar !

Just like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, when a musician is blind, a spiritual super power seems to take over and elevates them to a higher level.

He, like Kenny Wayne Sheppard, was someone who Stevie Ray took under his wing. I hope he and Stevie are jamming up in Heaven... pretty sure the Good Lord is enjoying the jam! RIP to both of them; We have been left poorer for their loss. Also, if you haven't seen the movie Road House, Jeff is in the bar band. Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot star in the movie - I encourage you guys to check it out, it's a classic.

I appreciate your reaction videos. Jeff actually died in 2008. RIP Jeff 🥺

Guys ..Thank you for featuring Jeff Healey. This was a Devastating performance. I was not a Stratocaster fan but Jeff's performance here changed my mind. RIP Jeff and thank you for the Magic

Healy jammed with SRV too!

Dr John on keys, Marcus on bass, the incredible Omar Hakim on drums...a heck of a band to be jamming with Jeff.

Jeff was a national treasure here in Canada. Besides his guitar work and singing, he was one of the best jazz trumpeters on earth and a major authority on early jazz. He was a radio host also, sharing some of his thousands of vintage jazz records with listeners to Toronto's all jazz radio station JazzFM... Jeff appeared on film, too, in the Patrick Swayze movie Road House. He's hilarious there, essentially playing himself; he was hilarious in real life also, with a dry, wicked wit. Could've done standup comedy too if he'd wanted.

He was a funny yet humble man.

He was in the movie Roadhouse. Awesome talent!

Would have liked this video a thousand times if I could. Love Jeff and his music.

He never seen anyone play guitar, and he is self taught so he just plays it the way he hears it. Love Jeff, and Dr John too. I was working a blues festival in Michigan and it was directly after Katrina. We thought we had lost him and 4 other musicians that were in the line up were lost. Dr John showed up wrinkled cloths and shell shocked but always the performer, he gave his all. He played 2 pianos at once, and did his Cajun dance. When I was younger I would do anything to be around all the live music, sell tee-shirts tickets, or sling beers. Good days back then.

I'm so glad you didn't tell them about JH being blind. I thought you were going to give it away when you asked them what was different. GREAT JOB JAMEL!

One of the most underrated and underappreciated Blues artist guitars ever phenomenal and blind to boot

and Omar Hakim! One of THE best drummers EVER.

People have seen Jeff Healey perform before they just don’t know it. If you’ve seen roadhouse, the movie you’ve seen Jeff Healey not only perform but act as well.

love jeff healey and love all ya cuties reactions to his song...

Oh how we miss Jeff❤️💕🇨🇦🇨🇦😢😢😢he was a legend

whatching you and the fam rocking out to Jeff was great!!! The music is in your souls !!! No denying it.. :)

Dr. John on the keyboards! Gotta love some Dr. John. I saw Jeff Healey in OKC at a local radio station Jam festival. We setup the lights and small stage for the all day music fest. I found out he would be playing, as well as Tommy Shaw, fresh off a break-up with Styx, doing a solo tour, and Rick Emmit from Triumph would be appearing as well. I took full advantage of my stage crew pass and came back for all the shows! Jeff Healey was 4 feet away from me, on a small riser stage. Even with such a small stage, our lighting crew had set up a really great sound system so the whole convention center would be able to hear the music clearly. Watching him play that close to me, I could feel the speakers ringing in my ears, though I didn't care at the moment. Jeff caught the 'lightning', channeling that realm that great musicians seem to be in when they go off into a trance-like state. And he got up to dance, kicking the chair away. He was so close to the edge of the stage, I feared he would fall, so I stood firm, people pushing into the back of me, thinking I would do all I could to catch him. It was amazing to see and hear him so close. I saw him at 2 other shows in OKC before he passed away. I was truly saddened, nearly as much as I was when I heard SRV had passed. That small concert is definitely on my list of best experiences in my life.

Jamel, this video reaction you posted is hitting me hard. I lost my father recently. We are both musicians and shared music daily. I showed him this video some time ago and he was floored. Anyhow it’s just making me think of him and feels good. As for healey and this band….completely monstrous. There’s nothing like watching great players connect their souls and get down. True gift from above. Jeff was channeling here. His band was smoking. RIP Jeff!

Glad to see you react to Jeff. He was an awesome guitar player and I put him above some of those mentioned not because he was blind but he wailed on the guitar. Love his music and RIP Jeff.

I always thought it ironic that so many of his songs had references to vision. Healey was amazing! Could play anything and a great voice. Went to the blind school in Brantford On.

Happy to say your Bros are back, and when you told them the reality of Jeff Beck, priceless.

Jeff healy has alot of great songs

Mid/late '80s, Victoria BC, early evening on a warm summer Thursday: Me and some of the boys headed out to a local meat market / pick up bar that usually had a DJ. (🤭 Hey, I was young, well, late 20s, and there would likely be pretty girls there! 😂). When we arrived, we were perplexed to discover there was a lineup to get in, with posters advertising a live performer (not usual) debuting that night, with praises by the likes of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. So, what the hell, we waited in line. Once we got in we sat at a table right by the dance floor, about 15 feet from a two foot raised stage. After ordering our beer, the band came out, obviously guiding a blind guy. My buddies and I kinda looked at each other quizzically. 🤔 They sat him down in a chair onstage, handed him an electric guitar, which he placed on his lap 😯 ... then, when they started to play ... my world changed ... forever. It was Jeff Healey and his band, before their first album came out: I had never heard of him/them before, but he, specifically, had my attention now. He proceeded to play the cleanest, most amazing, unbelievable guitar licks I'd ever heard. He played blues, he played rock, he played country, he even played a bit of what sounded like flamenco. He played Hendrix better than Hendrix, he played with his teeth, he played while literally jumping around blind like a mad man. He seemed to be having a religious experience onstage. Despite it being a dance club, NOBODY danced that night. Every person, patrons and staff alike, stood around, hypnotized, with their mouths agape, staring, hardly believing what they were seeing and hearing. I went back Friday and Saturday, and again three nights the following week, as they were playing a two week gig there. Their first album came out shortly thereafter, and then he was in a movie with Patrick Swayze, and then ... well, I sadly never got to see Jeff Healey perform live again. But I still feel blessed, and I shall never forget how amazing the experience was that first night I saw him play! 😊

Oh Canada ! Peace and Love...................RIP Jeff

Another great Jeff Healey song is When The Night Comes Falling. Check him out in the movie Road House.

I am Blessed to have seen him live twice and I also met him. He was amazing. Truly underrated

I was so lucky to see him live. An absolute legendary wonder. Suggest you also check out another Canadian guitar legend, Colin James. Pretty sure there's a video out there of him and Jeff together also.

So many people won't try things and blame their circumstances, but Jeff was a huge talent, in spite of his circumstances. Amazing!

Night Music was a show hosted by David Sanborn (super famous jazz sax player) in the early 80s, great show! Accompanying Jeff is Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums, Dr John on piano. What energy! Thanks for the great reaction!

Thank you for sharing this with your brothers I feel like I should be there

Fast forward to famed Toronto blues club Albert's Hall in 1985 where a then 19-year-old Healey - already renowned in Canada - was discovered by none other than Stevie Ray Vaughan. Love their duet Look Little Sister.

I love Jeff Healey's music

He was very unique and talented RIP Jeff ❤

Love Jeff Healy

Such a talent!!

Seen Jeff in a small bar here in Canada before he became famous. What a great show he put on. Was sitting about 20 ft away.

Jeff was born 1966 ,and died in 2008. He played angle eye on Road house in the road house script in the 1980s

Listen to his Angel Eyes.

Wasn't his band. He was appearing on a late night show called Night Music hosted by David Sanborn (sax, Miles Davis, Paul Butterfield etc.) that featured an eclectic mix of musicians. He was already well known among musicians and so they sat in with him. Clips and episodes can be found on this site and others.

Another GREAT guitarist!! Love watching him play!!

Well done lads!!! Wicked reaction!!

RIP Jeff Healey, cancer took his eyes at 1 and his life 2 weeks before his 42ng Birth Day and a month before his 1st studio album in 11 yrs was released.

Your 1st reaction was Hilarious ! when you stood up and walked off camera's view and then peaked back in I was laughing my butt off 😂

saw Jeff open for Bonnie Raitt at the CNE around 89/90 great performer! Mac killing them keys

He's blind....has been for years! He was also in the movie Road House as a musician.

He had two greats backing him up, Marcus Miller on bass and Omar Hakim on drums...killers.

I saw Jeff live in 1988 in Bristol, England for a blind guy he was amazing. He had the place jumping and when he got really excited he would get up and just keep playing and the bass player had to guide him back to his seat, what a night. I saw Was not Was at the same venue, review some of their stuff.

Jeff was born and raised in Toronto's West end. He knew people that I knew. He married a woman my sister knew. Angel Eyes was the first song played at my wedding. (Oh and I dated Eilleen 'Shania' Twain for a short while in 1982)

I muted this video and played a song from the old Lawrence Welk show over your video. Same time signature and tempo. Watching you and your brothers head bangin' to Lawrence Welk is hilarious. Thanks for all the great reactions through the years.

Jeff's best performance would have to be As The Years Go Passing By. Your brothers would love that one

First time I saw him in road house and never left me .

I saw him a few times when he was up and coming and hanging with Stevie Ray Vaughn.

You're doing a fine job with this channel. Been following you for 2 years or so.

Jeff Healy was a great guitarist, but that performance was next level being backed up by pianist Dr. John and Marcus Miller killing it on bass!

I can't remember if you've shown your brothers the Eddie Van Halen Eruption solo! I'd love to see that reaction! Great reaction today fellas!

I saw him and the band live in the 90's and he was all in. Every show, every song, every note. It was funny because whenever he got up and neared the edge of the stage, part of the crowd would surge a bit so someone could catch him if he fell. He never did. He knew every square inch. I think he probably got a laugh out of it. RIP Jeff.

He will be missed

The Base Player was the Great Marcus Miller, formerly played with Miles Davis, and is a great Solo Artist in his own right.

This was not Jeff’s regular backing group. The bass player is Marcus Miller and the drummer is Omar Hakim, two of the all time greats and part of the house band for Night Music, the weekly show this performance came from. Pianist Dr John was another guest from the same episode who sat in with Jeff.

You have GOT to watch Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey do Look At Little Sister!

That's what's Blues is all about , .....

There's a part when he's playing with Stevie where Stevie looks at him jamming like wtf am I seeing

The pianist is legendary Dr. John. You can react to him too. While your reacting to doctors, there's Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show.

Can you imagine how bad all of the record companies that passed up on singing him to a contract are kicking themselves for not singing him .

Janis Joplin Jimmy Hendrix Stevie Ray and Jeff. They are jammin in heaven right now !

Your faces when he stert playing with his teeth😂😂😂😂

He and his band mates were the house band in the movie Road House

Heard this song playing on the car radio just last night. My daughter commented that a blind man was singing a song about seeing the light, and she wondered if he was being ironic toward himself intentionally.

Hell yea agree 100%

The one and only Jeff Healey. Out of this world guitar playing with such soulful singing. Check out Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughn on "Little Sister". Blew SRVs mind. RIP Jeff and SRV.

He was in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze too.
