See the Light was the first CD I ever bought way back in 1988! Jeff was part of my musical coming of age! I'm glad he was able to inspire so many people in such a tragically short life. What a great guy! An inspiration to us all

I am shocked. I had no idea Jeff Healey had passed away. I just watched him on Road House. He was such an inspiration. May God touch his family!! He is defintely a legend.

Hell To Pay tour, finished up with a blistering version of Hendrix's Voodoo Chile in the encore. Just watching "See the Light" and "Hideaway" on YouTube brought it flooding back. Talk about floored, we were all speechless all the way home. The single best performance I ever had the honour to witness. Thank you, Jeff.

Jeff Healey will be remembered as one of a kind in the music industry. What a special individual. His faith kept him far above the rest of the best. May he play and sing with the angels now.

thank u jeff god speed ,

I first saw The Jeff Healy Band in a little pub in Wasaga Beach, Ontario back in the 80's. We had just come in to get some refreshments from being on the beach all day and the bartender told us to get ready to see a spectacular guitarist. He was absoultely right and from that night on I was a huge fan of Jeff's. The one song that has helped me over and over again through out my life was "Let it all go" and not only his guitar finese but the lyrics to his music have brought so much pleasure not only to myself but many throughout the years. Rest in Peace Jeff and thank you for sharing your music.

In 2000 when visiting Toronto i was taken to a concert, a medley of artists. Jeff,, I was in awe, I didnt even know of you until that moment. I had no idea such life and feeling could be made though a Guitar. It's a memory I will take onwards with me forevever. Thank You Jeff. Hope i end up the same place as you one day! Play on my hero! Chris. Las Vegas ps. special thanks to the moose for buying my ticket to your show.

Only the other day, I was introducing someone to the music of Jeff Healey, and taking great delight in explaining, as I played Jeff's extended version of 'All Along The Watchtower' that the player was a blind white Canadian! Jeff's talent, and what he did with his life, is a source of inspiration.

only thing i know for sure is thats the light jeff had will NEVER go out-- it will burn a strong in our hearts, minds, & memories-- forever.

i new his kids and my best frend was rachel his oldest i miss him so much and the pigy backs he usted to give us i cryed so much when he died he was and still is a grate man i miss him and my he R.I.P Love Emma rose <3

How true is it that you dont know what you had until it is lost..............I have great memories of you live in London ........you will be sadly missed. My mate thought you were a little pretencious sitting on your stool.......until i explained you couldn't see........you wiped us away........our loss is St Peters gain .....i can see him now sitting by the gates totally lost in your music.......thanks for the memories and the albums.

From the first notes I heard, I loved his music. Then you come to realize that he is blind and you see him play the guitar on his knees. That made it all even more interesting. A fine musician less. He could have given us so much more, if he'd only had a chance. Jeff, take care!

I opened up an e.mail from Amazon tonight which was recommending Jeff`s new album titled MESS OF BLUES & was totally shocked to hear the sad news about Jeff, I have been a fan for many years now & always found it bewildering how a blind man could make the guitar sound so good by simply playing it on his lap, he is truly a guitar great & his memory will live on for many years to come in his music, god bless you Jeff, you will definately be missed, be happy in heaven, I salute you

I just discovered Jeff's death accidentally...I am sooo very sad!..he was so gifted and I loved his music! May God Bless his family and may he rest in PEACE! Jeff, you will be missed!

ive listen to jeff's band for a long time. angel eyes was my favorite song, i was listening to my local classic rock station yesterday and the song came on , the dj said we will all miss him do to his death in MARCH.,,i was shocked by the news no one knew e had passed away. you will be missed jeff. you where one of the greats. youmade angel eyes a song, now you fly away from us on angel wings. keep playing that beautifull music for our maker. with tearfull eyes i say goodbye. we love you.

I was shocked by the death of this affable singer, songwriter and actor. Nothing was published in our paper. I came across Jeff's death by accident. My sympathies go out to those that loved and cherished him.

I just found out of Jeff's death when I was using a search engine, after watching Road House. I bought Jeff's first album when it first came out. I was saddened to hear of his death at such a young age. Rest in Peace

I regret that i never saw you in person. Your music was awesome. I was just searching amazon to see if you had any more albums and was totally shocked to hear the news.God bless you mate, and also God bless your band, family and friends who I know will miss you deeply. John Claydon from Devon, England

hearing you and your band playing while canoeing around Wekeiva Springs in Orlando, FL on a hot summer day. Great music and great memories with friends.

Jeff making my spirit free.

Jeff making my spirit free.

This is the song that has become our song, by that I mean my wife and I have loved this song since 1992. She is beautiful and I am the clown. Long live the voice and guitar sound of Jeff Healey.

Heck of a player dude. Talent in many facets of music. Thanks for the performances.

i am lucky,I still have the sight in one eye and been healthy to now. I admired your tallent and have listened to you for 25 years. Who knows we may have been in New York in 67 at the same time . My condolences to the family

ALLWAYS YOU GAVE. YOU WERE HERE, YOU ARE PRESENT, YOU WILL BE FOR EVER ON STAGE

You will be missed. Your music is inspirational. I love the song Angel eyes.I could listen to it every day.God blessed us with your presence for such a short time. 41 years is not enough. May you sing with the angels. Bobbie

To have you appear at our club set unnanounced and get up and jam Roadhouse Blues with our band was truely memorable. Your kind words about us the following night at your show were touching. Your spirit will live with me forever. Rock on!

The first time I 've seen you in Roadhouse and the first time I heard Angel Eyes You will be Very Missed Rest in Peace The Ferriso Family

I remember many years ago where jeff resides in Mississauga ontario canada where i havent been home in mississauga for 18yrs and i just learned that all theses years that jeff lived three houses away i love his music and when he played in roadhouse movie

I first saw Jeff play when he opened up for the Beach boys in So Cal the summer of 1989 or around there. I was blown away by Jeff's talents and ability to enthuse the crowd all the way to the end of the concert. He was a wonderful musician and his voice will be remembered for years to come. my heart goes out to jeff's family, you were blessed to have known him and have him in your life

I first saw Jeff on the tonite show,and was blown away. And the look on Johnny`s face,was like..... WOW!!! We will miss you Jeff Larry

HI , My name is Brad from Auckland, New Zealand. When I was first turned on to Jeff's music back in the mid 80's, I was blown away by the raw power and emotion of his playing - and I soon grouped him in with my guitar favourites of all time, ie: Hendrix, Santana, Clapton, SRV. I was lucky enough to see Jeff and the band in concert, here in Auckland in the early 90's - and his unstoppable spirit shone through then when he was heckled by some idiot in the audience. Jeff ended up telling the guy to "Shut the F*** Up" - and the whole audience cheered. I'll never forget it. My deepest sympathies to Jeff's family. The world has lost a great guitarist, and a great man.

Hi my name is Bonnie from Pa. I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jeff Healey.Wow what a talent this man was.My family and I love rythm&blues music.It was a few yrs back that i bought my first Jeff Healey Band tape .My brother Brian and i were out for a drive and i said to him i've got this great tape i want you to hear it'sthe Jeff Healey Band and this guy can play a guitar like a smokin gun.Needless to say he liked it.One of my favorite songs off the tape was Don't Let Your Chance Go By.Jeff i know you r up there with alot of great muscian so keep the music playing.

I am with a local blues band and your Mess of Blues CD (my 2 labs got it for me for Father's day) is what I have been focusing on playing without knowing you are playing somewhere else. Thank you for the excitment of the music you played and for Roadhouse. You are an inspiration. Doug

Your music is the best memory I can ave from you. I'm sure all the Angels in Heaven are singing your anthems.... I always keep you in my prayers.

I saw you on Roadhouse and, at first, thought you were an actor; as, I did not know your name and reputation; however, you are the focal point of my memories of that movie. your voice is more than entrancing -- it is bewitching, soulful and so very smooth!!! I can just close my eyes when I listen to your music and transcend myself to any happy place I want to be -- you are a truly missed American legend and icon!!!!! I know you are sincerely appreciated in Heaven -- I just hope my beloved grandmother is listening to you. Lots of warm regards to your family, Jeff.

I saw Jeff and the Band perform at Newcastle City Hall, UK in the late 80's and that gig still sits at the top of my list of favorites. I've listened to The Jeff Healey Band on and off over the years ever since that experience and I always will. Thanks for the fantastic collection of music and memories.

i saw you in concert many years ago in columbus ohio at the newport and to this day was still the most incredable concert ive ever seen. ive lived listening to your music for many years, im a drummer and always wanted to play with you one time yet never got the chance. you will very missed but not forgotten

Jeff without even knowing it you got me through some the hardest times in my life and gave me a reason to kept on going. I went through a really bad divorce, my wife had cheated and I just felt like ending it all and yoour music gave me the will to go on and try my hand at love again, Thank you so much for all of your music.....I missed you the one time you came to perform in my city, but I still have the your CD that saved my life. You will be greatly missed

In the fall of '89, I was in college and began dating a new beau, of whom my heart was leary...that was until he showed up at my home for a date one night with "Angel Eyes" playing in his stereo just for me. He sang along with you, Jeff, and was so sincere, that I was swept away. Nearly twenty years later, I'm not with that guy, but I happened across "Roadhouse" on t.v. today and saw you singing that song. I've been thinking about you ever since. You had a profound impact on millions of listeners for so many artistical reasons. I can only imagine how your family misses you. I know that the heavens rejoice everytime you decide to sing. God bless you.

A great talent will be missed love the new album YOU ROCK.

God bless you Jeff, I will miss your wonderful talent and magical voice. You were awesome and there will never be another like you......EVER! Thank you for some of the most wonderful memories of my life....your music will live on forever. Prayers for your family from a PA girl.......

Thank you and bless you Jeff. I feel like I've lost a very close friend, you've been an inspirational man, and given so much joy to so many. Farewell Mate, we miss you terribly.

Thanks Jeff for making this world a little better with your heart and your smile. Play for us in heaven - tell Stevie we said hello! Tonight I cry...

very very sad day. one of the best blue,s musician,s around. you blew me away. rip mate

My nephew was learning to play the guitar ,I asked him had he done the history of playing. He said to me,he was learning the classics. Sooo I said, lets hear something.He began to play me every (standard). I said thats it ! He says to me, thats about all the really good songs i know. And I'm getting kind of board with it .The first picture that popped into my head was Jeff Healy. I played him Angel Eyes. This brought back one of the best memories of my life,The first time i ever danced with a girl i was crazy in love with. He was hungry for more . He kept my CDs for months.He loved that style of playing. I got a call one day from him .......he says John Lennons version of (Still my Guitar gently weeps) really sucks compared to Jeff Healy's version. Yea you can say that. But whats gonna blow your mind is that Jeff is blind. He did not believe me. soon later he found out Jeff had passed away , he says to me He was so young .HIs playing has gotton so much better,He listens to his chords closer and feels the music .It inspires me to know that Jeff Healy influences a young man to feel the music and to not just memorize it and I am thankful for that great overflowing feeling of Love that i felt on that school dance that night. ............ I'll always remember those angel eyes that looked my way.

Ciao Jeff.... grazie per averci regalato la tua musica!! Ora finalmente vedi la luce...

I must have been 13 or 14 when i heard angel eyes for the first time. I had never been like the kids in the house or the ones I went to school with as far as my grammar and my love for music and a good book (at the same time). I was in my bed watching a movie by my favorite actor, and the musician was a blind guitarist whose voice I could not get out of my head for weeks after first watching Roadhouse. While I first watch roadhouse for Patrick Swayze, listened to it for that indescribeable sound that made me feel like home. No matter where I was. About 3 months later I was laying in bed reading a book and listening to the radio, and Angel Eyes came on and instantly I perked up because that feeling always get when I listen to your music on the VCR was there. I had to know it was you, because no one else could give me that feeling of peace and right that your voice gave to me. At 21 when I left my little island in the caribbean and moved to the US mainland, your music was all that kept me sane. I am heart broken to know that you are no longer with us, for I will miss you. It is 18 yrs later and Angel Eyes still has the same effect on me. You are loved and missed.
