- 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
I really don’t like the RIP meaning. I have a very few of my friends left with all the stuff that goes on. Anyway I like to think of it as
Rock In Peace my brother ❤️🩹💔
Screw Netflix, I'd love to see it done right. That's one I need a physical copy of. Plus Netflix has really gone downhill lately.
@@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.
Netflix? Wonder where they will put gay scene...
2024, im 40, i just discovered Jeff Healy. Absolute genius, taken from us too soon.
My. 5 month old son is blind ...it gives me such hope
Put a guitar in his hand
Born blind but God give him a gift and passion to or the guitar and music most underrated guitarist of all time . I remember he and Stevie Ray Vaughn played hey little sister had to be best dual guitar performance of all time . He's gone but his legacy and music will never be forgotten . He and Stevie Ray Vaughn . Has the angels in heaven rejoicing . Till we see you again . In Jeff and Stevie on the other side of river Jordan y'all play on . God bless 💯✝️🐺🤠
To be Idolized by such great musicians as SRV, BB King, Eric Clapton,George Harrison, Jeff Beck Etc Etc, what a great testament to a Canadian Legend
Don't care what any ones says he's one of the best guitarists in the world, Screw Rolling Stones!
Rolling Stone is birdcage paper!
Jeff is definitely one of the greatest guitarist of our time 🎸 ❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥
God Damn, this dude is a monster!!!! How is he not ranked as 0ne of the best guitarist is just sinful......i was lucky enough to see him live once.
The World Will Never See The Likes Of Jeff Healey Again.
It's funny because neither will Jeff.
@@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888 And that is funny why???
Yup he was the real deal wish I saw his concert live
And what a shame that is
He deffinately knows his guitar.
Plucking those strings with every ounce of his soul. Never be another like him.
Jeff is the greatest blues guitarist legend, such talent is rarely seen, music, lyrics, solo guitar at the highest level
Playing on his lap he used five fingers all the time and he knew right where to put them......RIP Jeff
Dude was Lethal on that guitar!!
Stevie ray Vaughn said J.H. was the" BEST ". That speaks VOLUMES!
They were very good friends. It pains when talking about 'Who's the Best?' Let us just enjoy the music they gave us. SRV was an incredibly talented & passionate player as was Jeff...Listen & appreciate...That's what I do!
Both hard working, serious and passionate musicians beyond ten times what most people go for.
No body compared to Jeff..a master
😱😱 wow
I have played guitar for 50 years and I am still totally blown away by Jeff Healey! RIP
Not only was he blind, but he also plays a modded, japanese Squier Strat, which at the time were considered "cheap import guitars" by many guitar elitists.
Jeff is a blues legend. Canadian icon. A humble talented guy. Commercially maybe overlooked but that doesnt matter. In the musicians circle he was a volcano erupting on the guitar and a freaking great singer as well!! will always be missed
All of that and more higainamp, could not have said it any better,
I love his voice as much as his playing.
Incredible!!!
Nailed it!👍
He made that axe🎸 scream perfectly😎❤
Sorely missed.
Aussie fan🌏
I can't think of any other blind guitar players that shared the stage with Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jeff Healey is the reason I've seen the movie Road House a bazziloin times.
Rick Miller yeah, it’s not that hot blonde bitch in the tight dress.
Wow!!! What did I just see.. I was drooling from start to finish.. The best there is, best there was, the best there ever will be.
Picking with his teeth, stomping on the whammy bar, and cranking out some of the best blues rock lead guitar I've heard in ages! What's not to like?
Jeff Healy the man !!!! One hell of a blues player and guitarist RIP brother play that guitar on the other side
Healey
Gotta give that Bass player some credit people ! 🚒 🔥
Hopefully there comes a guy or woman like Jeff, Gary and Rory play as they did. Staight fom the heart.******
He really was incredible!!🎸🎶🎵
God gets to listen to Jeff and Stevie for eternity.
This guy was top-notch it's a shame his only claim to fame is the movie Roadhouse. Killer guitarist and to be blind and do it is three times as hard.
Well, I was feeling depressed & sorry for myself. (Again!) Then I see Jeff play, and I know what he went through & suffered, and I think to myself: dude - I am SO lucky to enjoy - every day above ground, the simple pleasures I take for granted(!) May God bless us all!
Amazing amazing guitarist. Should be in the top of any list of greats .great voice too .for tough times he had in life and fully blind omg just listen ...massive loss to real music
His duet with Stevie Ray Vaughn on "Little Sister" is The tightest duo I've ever seen - of any kind.
These Are Facts.
Sitting on Top of the World,
As well.
What a monster guitar picker he was if you want to say underrated I would agree I saw him and Stevie Ray when I lived in Texas I feel so lucky to have had the pleasure may they RIP
I'd have loved to be there! Ya lucky dog! 💙🎶💙🎶💙
You are one of the very lucky few to have seen these legends together. What I wouldn't do.... ?????
Jeff had the smoothest wide pitch bends and the silkiest high end vibrato of any guitar player…. Plus an endless bag of cool interesting licks and chord riffs that he would pull out at all times… he was a Master.
The most underrated guitarist of the Story! :(
Not only was he a pro at guitar. But a pro at finding his seat after standing up
R.I.P. Jeff, you were a Diamond with spectacular, playing ability, i don't know how you did it, I can see , but i cannot come close to you, Cousin Figel
What can I say? Musicians like B.B. King, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn gave a wow to him. Incredible. If people continue to forget about him, he'll remain way underrated for good.
Also Ritchie Blackmore loved Jeff's playing.
Never on any top 100 guitar lists of Rolling Stone absolutely criminal do those people know anything
truemansparks do they bollox Jeff was truly amazing it's criminal how underrated he was
It's all about commercial worth. Jeff was not that commercially sellable, for whatever reason. Utter bullshit!!
Jeff's widow and kids don't have to give money to the Rolling Stone to buy him a place on one of their lists.
He was the greatest.
Neither was Steve Lukather (Toto) Jeff's great friend and one of the last people to talk to him! EVERY Great Guitarist loved Jeff! From Stanley Jordan, to Clapton, to Luke to SRV and many more! Rest in Peace Brother Jeff.
truemansparks ognuno si fa la classifica sua
That See The Light album was jaw dropping. His Blue Jean Blues song is one of my favorite of all time.
close your eyes. open your ears. doesn't matter HOW JH
did it. Just listen. An amazing and unique talent. rest in peace, mr Healey.
I miss this man so much, his playing and that VOICE, RIP JEFF HEALY, You are at the top of my icon list
Healey.
In case you didn't know Jeff lost his sight at age 2. F-KIN GENIUS
Actually he wentt blind at one, and his eyes were removed by age 3. He had prosthetics in place of his real ones
What a trio- DR. JOHN on keys... amazing musicianship.
My favorites, Jimmy Hendrix
Joe Satriani, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Healey
He was channeling some Jimmy right there! Definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever was!
I 1st met Jeff when he booked me at his club a few times. Bizz wise he was a pleasure to work with. He told you what he could pay and what he expected from you. so cool and easy to work with. 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.
.........and beautiful voice!
jeff healey was totally awesome he was right up there with the best - yet i will never know why he did not get the acclaim he deserved -
I can see what I'm doing and I still can't get anywhere close to that!
Jeff Healey has the legendary guitar taste that flows in his heart and hands automatically...God given talent..and his music is awesome and Jeff strums every cord and string like it's his last time to play..Great entertainment on this stage and the band is terrific..great singer ..
Completely blind, and can rock the fuck out of any guitar. My admiration goes to this man.
I've just forgotten how freakin' good Jeff was.
His phenomenal talent and legacy need to be highlighted more . As far as I am concerned Jeff Healey remains one the THE most breathtakingly exciting players that I have ever heard !
He is the best and the most underrated guitarist
Drinking in the middle of a crazy solo might be one the weirdest thing I've ever see LoL. He was such a boss.
absolute legend what more can i say
a shame he was never recognized for the talent he had fabulous .. bless him
Rolling Stone list statement : Never let anyone on this planet judge for you! If you do, it means you make their opinion exclusive and thus above yours and everyone else's!!! Got it.
One of the most exciting players ever IMO
Who are these dudes that hit unlike on these legends
...are u deaf what can you play?
Most of them are trolls who unlike videos just to unlike them, no other reason, no life.
They are all mongs.👍
They are music rejects who are still trying to master the elementary school 'Recorder'!
Yeah Yeah 😎🇦🇺
Not only are they tone deaf, but they’re the type to think that auto tune is where the talent is really at!
Songs like Confidence Man, As The Years Go Passing By, Blue Jean Blues, and Hoochie Coochie man, are just a glimpse of Jeff Healey's amazing work.
His cover of
"Sitting on Top of the World"
is Unparalleled.
This dude makes some crazy shit happen on the guitar the sounds are amazing and so damn fast and precise imagine if Jeff went down the metal road I don't listen to him much but hands down he's one of the greatest players in history and most people don't even know who he is
And it's totally criminal, that they don't know what great music is!!!!!
AMAZING!!!
Absolutely killer guitar player
A talent that the world will never see again
Got to see him once. Was mind blowing!
Lets not forget...Jeff also had a great voice.
He is up there with BB KING
R.I.P JEFF HEALEY 🎸⚰
Say, BB who? BB was a joke compared to Jeff. I loved BB back in the day but puhleeze? Really? Jeff makes BB look like an amateur.
@@TabRoss1st
Each to there own bro.
🇦🇺🤓
Jeff's phrasing was up there with the greatest of all time...he was and remains one of the most underrated guitar players to ever pick up the instrument....we all sure miss your genius Jeff....🎸🎸🎸
Yeah, this is simply phenominal! The guy was a genious! Top 10 ever!!!
"See the light" floored me when it came out...and it continues to do so.
His guitar playing was wonderful, but he also had a great blues voice for singing. Amazing what he accomplished against the odds all his life.
My eyes going bad every year I hope I can have just a fourth of his enthusiasium.
Jeff Healey you are still a legend ! You will always Rock on in my Heart ♥️
So excellent. No more words,!!
So crazy to see him play the way he plays and that awesome sound comes out. His fingers look like they're barely moving
Friggin. Amazing. Saw Jeff live at Konocti, in the 90's, up close. Such a cool guy. RIP
I saw Jeff once on Queen Street, it was quite something to cross paths with a Legend.
He had a music club in Toronto of course!
this performance was perfect unbridled blues never to be equaled...so much for the critics huh!...RIP Jeff Healey..
Guitarist Extraordinary !!
WOW.. Jeff one of the Best players ever .....what talent ...great voice too
Damn! Jeff just rips it up and shreds it to pieces! One of my top 4 favorite guitarists of all time! He was so awesome! RIP!
When I recall how many band's/musician's I've seen in life, growing up,......I've yet to see any of them "SWEAT' like Jeff!!!!!!! Tell me he ain't jammin' hard!!!!??? Holy God :)!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. forever,......
and then,... take all your buddie's in heaven, that we've also lost, and form the best band in HEAVEN!!!! I get front row center, called it! :)
When you even shock the shit out of your bandmates your amazing!!!!
What an amazing talent he was! It freaks me out watching the way he played, since it was so unorthodox. I wish I would have had a chance to see him.
he was truly one of a kind!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW ! Amazing
JDD
I wish I saw him live! Not fair! He IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER
What an awesome Canadian, the best!!!!! xo LoLa xoxo
that solo was so metal.
Meanwhile at home with my guitar.." First finger second string third fret, third finger first string third fret, 1/4 bend, no wait...."
Thanks
Hey man....that's how all the greats started out. Don't stop.
I’ll just rock up with the house band and play an incredible performance ..
Roadhouse brought me here. I've seen the movie a million times and I wanted to see if this was a real band. The man could play! play that funky music white boy! RIP sir.
Jeff healey is a badass I seen him a few times in Toronto back in the late 80's and then in the 90's a couple times the guy was talented as heck and so glad my Uncle turned me on to him as a kid
Saw him in his club in Toronto, unforgettable experience...
Monster of the blues!
Jeff, stevie, Eric in Wisconsin...Best night ever
Top man! Amazing player.....just amazing. Looking forward to hearing you on the other side Jeff..... can't wait.
i am a big fan of Jeff he was amazing : great voice, amazing guitar tone with a strat guys !! all his notes are incredible cos he did not see anything ! his notes were the best ones !
What a total pro! Incredible everything and it amazed me that he knew where the guitar was at all times and whammy bar despite his disability!fantastic!
I'm enjoying his voice as much as his fantastic guitar playing. Wow
This just brings tears to my eyes. Oh, sweet Jesus !!
