    Jeff is one of our Canadian treasures. Jeff lost his sight to cancer when he was around 1 so he learned to play the guitar in his own unique way from an early age. Jeff unfortunately had his cancer return and he lost his battle to it just a few short years ago but thankfully his music lives on in his albums and videos of live performances. RIP Jeff Healey. Gone too soon. Xo

    Jeff Healey (Pronounced: He-Lee) was a genius on guitar and the soul in his voice would melt the hardest heart! Found to have Ocular Cancer as a child it took his sight. Later in life that same cancer returned and had metastasized to his brain before it was found. 😪

    Got to see Jeff play live twice. Once he was headliner doing a full set in a 2000 seat theater. Totally amazing music. The other time he was the surprise curtain call after The Robert Cray band full set before a SRV and Double Trouble full set before an Eric Clapton full set. When Clapton ended the night he did an encore and had Jeff come out with him and rip it up. Stupendous closing tune. More Jeff Healey please.

    If you check out the biography that's on UA-cam, it tells about the reason he plays with the guitar flat is because he had a hard time making the chords with his fingers because they were shorter, once he grew it was just easier to keep playing that way. He was an amazing guitar player. I highly recommend his cover of While my guitar gently weeps, it's phenomenal

    I sorry guys, but I did have to smile at your comment that he wasn't even looking at his guitar. But I'm sure that many people have told you that he was blind. Unfortunately, he had to have his eyes removed when he was just a baby. Hence His somewhat unique guitar playing style.
    By the way, please don't forget to react to Gary Moore The Messiah Will Come Again Live. Link below:

    Cancer caused Jeff to lose his sight before he was even one year old. It was his blindness that produced his unique way of playing guitar. Sadly, it was also cancer that caused his death at a young age (41, I think). Known primarily for his guitar work, this song shows he also had an amazing voice -- PERFECT for singing the blues!
