I was not a fan of Blues or guitar specialists as a teenager, so hearing that Jeff healey was coming to my hometown in the early 90's was not something on my to see list. But, my boss at the time raved about him constantly at work and bought me a ticket. So I went but didn't expect much of the experience. It was the single most influential experience of my life. His closing of "See The Light" (at the time I hadn't even heard the song yet) was INSANE. Jeff, Thank you so very much for the music. It will always be with me. R.I.P

I'm dying here man. You were so beautiful. I wanted to see. I didn't. Damn man..... R.I.P.

Saw Jeff in the early 90s, what a great guitarist, will truly be missed !

Your music will live on forever and you will too! Thanks for sharing your music with the world! You will surely be missed! Prayers to the family! R.I.P.

thank you so much for the music and passion. You will be forever missed. It's talent like you that has help shape the music scene in this fine city. Our very best to your family and may they take comfort in the legacy that you leave behind. Rest in peace. Donna and Bill Watson

Jeff was a tremendous inspiration to many guitarists including myself. I was very sad to hear of his passing. rest in peace Jeff. Rob

I saw Jeff live in leeds some years ago, he was brilliant. BRP

I loved listening to Jeff Healey. Especially on Jazz Fm when he played the old records. It reminded me of listening to my dads old 75s and the music he loved. Peace.

To a Great man and amazing friend who touched all! we will all sadly miss you and your friendly smile but have your music to remember always.

i will miss him so much, god bless you mate, rip

I'll never forget the first time I saw Jeff play. I was blown away by his playing. This is such sad news to hear of his passing today. Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff Healey was one of the greats. He made real heartfelt music in a time of synth pop & hair metal. He was the real deal. Another six-stringer called home.

i allways wanted to see jeff play live,since watching him in the film roadhouse. my dream came true in bilston u.k in 2007 in a small pub called the robin2. totally amazed at his talent and his warm heart. im still in shock at the sad passing of such a wonderful man,at such a young age. god bless you mate, your memory lives on .my thoughts also to your wife and chidren. angel came down from heaven

Took my 19 yr old son to one of Jeff's London gigs in 2007 and we were both blown away! He will be sorely missed. Our condolences to to his family. Martyn & James Atkins, Sawbridgeworth, Herts, UK

jam your music every day,thanks for the riffs man

chauffeuring Jeff and band when they came to vancouver. I will miss him

I got to see jeff for the first time years ago in philly i travels 12 hours to see him play it was and always stood as my favorite show jeff you will be missed dearly

Went to your consert at Notodden Bluesfestival 2004, one unforgettable moment. You will always be my favorite blues artist. R.I.P

Angel came down from heaven yesterday...he stayed long enough to rescue me...Fly on my sweet angel...forever i will be by your side. Thank you jeff

i always loved jeff's music,i am also a jazz fan like jeff and had recently rediscoved his music[fullcircle] i will his him terribly, i just wish i had got see him play live! james beale from indiana ps. i didnt evan know he was ill.

I have always been a JH fan. Luckily, he made a surpise opening for Bon Jovi in Indy several years back & I FINALLY got to see him live. My husband & I were thrilled, what a talent.

saw jeff at the playhouse in edinburgh after my cousin in california sent us his cd - brilliant. Recommended his music to many friends - a sad loss

I first saw him on a video either Mtv or VH1. His guitar style blew me away and I told everybody I knew to check him out. I bought every CD he released. He filled the void left by the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was an awesome blues player and I can't understand why God takes the great ones. R.I.P..........

Heaven done called another blues stringer back home. His music shall live on forever. Sadly missed but never forgotten.R.I.P Jeff.

We were lucky enough to have seen Jeff at The Grand in London on the 7th April 1993. He was fantastic then and will always remain so. Forever in our thoughts. Kind regards to his family, friends and fans.

I lucky to have seen one all the all time GREATS!! a term to easily used but not in his case. Forever in my thoughts. Kind regards to his family friends & fans.

He was a great singer.And just a great human being.His song angel eyes was one of his greatest. He will be for-ever remembered in our hearts. And his music and his legend will for-ever live on.My heart goes out to all those he touched and those he touched with his music.May u live on Jeff. I loved your music.Never got tosee u perform but i will miss you.

R.I.P. Jeff Healy your now in BLUES HEAVEN with HAAKIE my best friend who died. Jeff knew Haakie & I met Jeff in London at the Sheperds Bush Empire 2000 I introduced myself in the Dressing Room as Haakie's Brother & Jeff said "You don't Look like Haakie's Brother" Which got EVERYBODY LAUGHING. I have made a TRIBUTE to Haakie Website in Memory & there is a GREAT JEFF HEALY page in the Music Section - http://pic7.piczo.com/tributetohaakie/ Dave Tothill from England

I had the privalge to meet Jeff and his band in a small bar in Banff A.B, when they were heading to Vancouver for there first Live concert. I got to change the 6 string on his guitar that night... An incredible guitar player, a great person to talk to... I was blessed to see him play live, shake his hand and enjoy his talent all these years. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED... My condolances to his family...

jeff was so amazing inspiritation canadian singer . I love his music and i love the movie he was in called roadhouse.it should we can do anything no matter what and he is in a better place now..rip to an wonderful singer, husband , brother , friend and an father.. jeff you will be missed by so many and you are our guardian angel.. xoxoox we love you

“Feel This” was the perfect title to describe Jeff's music...for when Healey graced the strings of his guitar, you FELT WHAT HE PLAYED! It cut right through you. Few people will ever come along and leave such an everlasting mark on all of us who strive to do our best playing the guitar...I'm talking about the kind of influence that inspires us to change direction....and also to reshape our approach to the way we play, taking much more notice of TONE & DYNAMICS. Jeff Healey not only did that but also gave some of us guitar pickers who had been slacking a good reason to get excited and pick the guitar back up. Most of us will never do what Jeff did with the precision that he did it but his influence on all of us that listened to his music will NEVER die! His trademark style & hot licks put him in a league with Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and other artists who have that special ability to make a guitar cut through your flesh, deep into your soul! My whole family loves Jeff Healey's music and it's played countless hours in my home and driving down the highway. I only got to see him once in Tulsa. During one of his songs, he walked to the very edge of the stage. I was in the front and jumped up there in front of him to cushion his fall, thinking he was going to take one more step. It didn't happen and I felt somewhat silly later but I wasn't gonna let him fall off that stage and hit the hard ground. My condolences to all of Jeff's family, band members and close friends. The world mourns with you during the loss of a wonderful musician. My heart goes out to all of you. We’ll Leave The Light On in the window.

Jeff's music was the backdrop of our life in the late 80"s and early 90's. His music played at our music store day in and day out, without fail He was a great performer and will be so remembered! A great musician with heart. Thank you!!!

I seen Jeff Live on MTV or VH1 many years ago. He just blew me away with his skillful and beautiful guitar skills. I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. The world lost a legend and great talent. Thank GOD that we shared in Jeff's Wonderful Soul in this world.

I saw Jeff at a local Toronto club with a friend of mine.He was fantastic.!My friend and I just graduated that day and you topped off our evening with your amazing performance Jeff. Thanks so much.

I saw jeff perform the first year the skydome opened in november (89?) With Jeff Beck & Stevie Ray VaughnI I Had hoped they would all play together , although it ended up Being a blisterig duet between beck & vaughn. In november 2006 I Had a chance To see jeff perform again (brantord on) I asked him why he never made the previous situation a guitar great threesome he said "Beck Wanted Nothing to Do with it!"He was absolutely awesome that night as i always reminiced. Thank you for Your LEGACY GOD Bless YOUR Family. Cam420

A few years ago I was fortunate to hire Jeff to play our casino. March 1 I had a feeling inside that drove me to a music store to search for Jeff's CD's. Your gift of music will last an eternity. I am grateful.

We my have never seen each other but in 88 we exchanged a handshake and a few words .You became my Idol and gave me a fire inside to face my days day by day and to this I am forever in your debt .As we talked I learned about life I wont let you down .Play on I will always listen .Rest in peace

LOVED HIM IN "ROAD HOUSE" SAW HIM SOME YEARS AGO AT A LOCAL BAR....STILL HAVE THE CASSETTE.......REST IN PEACE BROTHER....YOU WILL BE MISSED..............

Jeff's feeling for playing the notes, which he could not see, is what really hit me. Guitar players who can see rely on their eyes to play. Jeff relied on his heart to play!!

big man, big musician...the world won't be the same for me without you my friend.....youssef from morocco

I Love You Man!!! amazing musician, awesome poet,and an inspiration to us all. Rest in peace brother.

My sympathy for the family of Jeff Healey. His musical legacy will always be a part of my family's collection.

My deepest condolences go out to Jeff's family at this most difficult time. My own father just passed from cancer.....what a horrible disease, yet one Jeff endured his entire life. What an inspiration you are & what a legacy you leave behind. I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff & his band play at a bar in Raleigh, NC. WOW.....what a show!!!! He honored me with an autographed guitar pick, which I still have. May you have many awesome jam sessions w/ SRV, Hendrix, Duane & the rest of the gifted artist you are now with in heaven. RIP Jeff....we'll miss you & your special gift.

Jeff has gone on to play with the other greats that have passed too soon. Play on my blues brother ! Heaven just added an awesome band member. Very few are left that put the true heart and soul into blues music the way he did. God bless him and his family.

Saw Jeff play in Cedar Rapids Ia. in a bar, a couple years ago. It was a great show. Stretch those strings forever R.I.P. K.C. Munsell

If ever there was proof of how unfair life can sometimes be, this is one example. I wish I could have given a year of my life for him to share with his family and friends and to create more magic.

you rocked .heaven has quite a band up there.god bless you for allowing all to share your music

For a blind man, Jeff Healey saw a hell of a lot more about the human condition than many of us ever will in our lifetimes. Thank you Jeff for all the fantastic music you gave so generously to us - your lyrics from the heart, your music from your rockin' soul. Peace be with you Jeff - now's the time to let the good Lord bring all of the rest of your "Dreams Of Love" to fruition. I love you and I will miss you very much Jeff....

Your soulful voice and beautiful lyrics were a very large part of my early adulthood. My deepest respects and condolences go to your wife and children.

You were one of the most talented musician Jeff and a great human being. I enjoyed so much your music and watching you on stage. You will be missed. God bless you.
