Iconic. In case you aren't aware, Jeff Healy is blind. And there is no doubt about it -- Healy is very SRV-like.
Jeff had retinoblastoma......a really crappy cancer of the eyes. My granddaughter at age 2, lost one of her eyes to it. When she gets older I'm going to introduce her to Jeff's videos, so she knows the sky is the limit!
@@CharCanuck14 That will be amazing and inspiring for her.
SRV discovered Jeff!
Nie slepy! Tylko niewidomy! Szacunku troche!
One of the greatest guitarists ever. A great Canadian. Died way too young.
No weak links in the band. That's Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, and Omar Hakim on drums. Total all-stars. You mentioned SRV; there is a duet featuring Jeff Healey and SRV doing "Look at Little Sister" you may want to check out.
Dr. John's "Right Place Wrong Time" is so worth reacting to!
Yup. That band was a powerhouse.
Jeff’s song, “Angel Eyes” must be one of the most beautiful love songs ever. Such a talented yet humble man. RIP Jeff
Wow
agreed, love that song, soooo underrated
Jeff was amazing on Angel Eyes. The song was written by John Hiatt. Another great but generally unknown performer.
SRV really helped Jeff in his early career. There is a video of those two playing together.
Yes SRV discovered Jeff they’ve performed look at little sister together, Jeff lost his eyesight at 2 or 3 to cancer, ultimately cancer took his life in his early 40’s, also he was in the movie Road House with Patric Swayze and Sam Elliot. Rest in peace Jeff gone but not forgotten.
You've got my vote for "Look at Little Sister"! You can't get any better than Stevie Ray & Jeff together on stage playing their hearts out.
Jeff Healey is Blind and learned to play that way. He is fantastic! Jeff Healey with Stevie Ray Vaughan, you should see them play together WOW! Thanks Maddy
The sax player that introduced Jeff is the excellent David Sandborn. You might know him from the iconic sax playing in the soundtrack of the "Lethal Weapon" movies alongside Eric Clapton on guitar and Michael Kamen writing.
When I first saw this performance, I was hoping he would throw Dave a solo. LOL
The smile on Marcus's face says it all 😁 All four of the guys are legends in their own right! RIP 🐶😎🇺🇸 Spread the love
A Bind Man asking "Can You See The Light Shining In My Eyes' - Iconic, Ironic, Impossibly good - RIP to the exceptionally talented Jeff Healy
Lol wow!!
Blind. Not bind. Are you blind? Or bind?
This guy was so underrated, the unorthodox way he plays, and the fact that he was blind, made him all the more incredible. There's a clip on CZcams where he's playing the song "Look At Little Sister" with Stevie Ray Vaughn, and during Jeff Healey's solo you can see the look of respect on Stevie's face.
Ive seen him in Calgary dives 3 or 4 times, what a blast.
Saw him with his band at The Garage in Glasgow in the mid 90s, when he really let loose. Brilliant concert from start to finish. He left some spellbinding music behind when he was taken much too early.
Epic
Marcus and Akeem are tying it all together on drums and bass
Yes!!!!
Dr John on the keys. This is a super group created for this show.
Look at those smiles! These men are having a blast!
Good one, Maddy! I first heard Jeff Healey in the movie Road House. Been a big fan ever since. 🙂
I remember seeing Stevie Ray Von play with Jeff Healey. You could see that Stevie was very impressed with Jeff. That told me all I needed to know about Jeff Healey.
He was taken from us to soon. He is a legend! Blind and a badass guitarist. Was blind at infancy. He's really into his music.
Oh and agree with all said about Jeff Healey!! “ So I hear you play pretty good for a blind white boy” Patrick Swayzee. “ Ya and I thought you’d be bigger” Jeff Healey! Movie “ Road House”!!❤️☀️
He definitely did play with SRV and it's on CZcams for your listening pleasure 8).
Maddy you've got to react to Jeff's song "As the Years Go Passing By" ...he was so amazing! Thanks! ❤❤❤
He was also in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick swayze
What ? You’ve never seen a blind guy play a guitar with his teeth before? 😅 🤘🏻😎
Jeff was blind and learned to play guitar in standard fashion but was more comfortable playing it on his lap. You compared him to Stevie Ray and there is a video of Jeff and Stevie Ray playing together on Stevie Ray's song Look At Little Sister. 🙌✌️
So amazing
Jeff - good Toronto boy. I know he did a coffee house at my High School in Oakville when I was going there. Saw him play several times
Both Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey earned that move from Jimi Hendrix. Watch him ruin guitarists the world over with his groundbreaking performance of HEY, JOE at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. That moment has defined every young player since. Only Chuck Berry was more persuasive in his artistic influence. You need to watch both. The song Chuck Berry brought to the masses is called JOHNNY B. GOODE.
And yes, Stevie Ray Vaughn helped to disccover Jeff Healey. They play together on a song of Stevie's called LOOK AT LITTLE SISTER. Jeff also has a part in the movie ROADHOUSE with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott. And just so you know, on the piano is the late great Dr. John. A New Orleans blues and soul creator as important as gumbo, rice and beans, and Bourbon Street. His was a legend. Enjoy
Didn't have time to read all the comments so I may be redundant. The bass player, Marcus Miller and the drummer Omar Hakim have had fantastic careers in the jazz fusion fields. (also the moderator, Dave Sanborn) The pianist is Dr. John, an icon in N.O. music. So this was an ass kickin' band that supported Jeff well. I wonder how often SRV played with his teeth after that wonderful performance in NJ where he chipped his tooth. The downside of playing those heavy gauge strings, I guess.
Oh, my gosh...you missed that he's blind!
Jeff is way underrated
I miss Jeff; he used to come though town in the early 1980s. RIP JEFF
I saw Jeff in Germany 🇩🇪 in 1987. There were 8 of us, Army tank commanders, Cavalry scouts etc. We were all stationed nearby Nuremberg. We were privileged to be able to attend many, many concerts all through the 1980s.
Jeff was playing in a large club that happened to have a small concert hall attached to one side of the building. It had 3 levels of balconies and plenty of standing room after all the seats had been filled.
Jeff was sitting to the left hand part of the stage. We were standing about 10 ft. away from Jeff, close enough that he could hear us loud and clear, especially after a song ended! You see, German concert goers aren't a 10th as loud and rambunctious!!
When Jeff was introducing his band mates after a couple songs, he thenked the crowd directly in front then turned in his chair to face us, he pointed and said, "You guys down there are Americans!! I instantly knew you guys were probably G.I.s because yuore the loudest section of this crowd! Thank you for your Service and thank you for coming to the show." Once I came out of shock from being spoken to by one of my guitar heroes...lol...we all turned it up notch! Shoot, even the rest of the crowd started to make more noise! It was an amazing experience to witness this man play his guitar. I tried to play like Jeff once I got home. Complete failure lol
Jeff and SRV together "look at lil sister" is awesome
Oh no way that they play together???
@@MaddyReactions yes, ma'am
All star band backing him from a late night TV show that used to be on focused on music. They could make anyone sound great but Jeff is up to keeping up with them and feeding off of their energy. Just an all around great performance from all the musicians!
The same year he came out big time musically, he and the band also gathered a movie credit starring alongside Patick Swayze and Sam Elliott in the movie ROADHOUSE. They play the house band of the Double Duece, and Jeff has a few lines in the film.
This is not his band, but a house band along with Dr. John (decades long New Orleans jazz/blues singer ---Right time, wrong place, on piano)
You might enjoy
Kenny Wayne Shepherd 👏👏
Blue 💙 on Black 🖤 ✌️🤠🥃
You are always sweet and positive in your reactions, so this is not meant negatively but.
Jeff has all the signs of being blind.
He sits down with a guitar on his lap and who does that? Nobody does.
He never looks at the guitar while playing the guitar.
He moves his head in the same way as Ray Charles and Stevi Wonder while playing the piano. And when he gets up and plays the guitar, he looks for the chair with his hands when he has to sit down again.
The black bass player looks after Jeff as Jeff gets up and steps closer to Jeff so he can support Jeff if needed.
And then finally, on top of all the signs that Jeff is blind, Jeff sings, can you see the light that needs to shine in my eyes.
Strangely, there are a lot of people who react to videos of Jeff on CZcams that overlook all the obvious signs that Jeff is blind.
The question may then be, is it us who are blind and Jeff sees us better than we see ourselves.
How com ve cant se he is blind.
Angel was always a favorite of mine from Healy
Jeff had already been playing with his band in Toronto 4 years before Albert Collins and SRV jammed with him in a Toronto bar and "discovered" him in 1985. The next year, he jammed with B.B.King, who called Healey's playing the best he had seen. On his second album, he got George Harrison to sing harmony and play acoustic guitar. Another thing that brought him recognition was appearing in the movie Roadhouse. About guitar techniques like playing behind the back or head, or with the teeth, Jimi Hendrix used to do those things in the 60's, but he didn't originate them. Hendrix probably got the teeth thing from Earl Hooker (who he knew) - see the short video of Hooker's "Earl's Blues". Earlier than that, in the late 40's, T-Bone Walker was doing the same things. If you Google his name, and click on "images", you'll see a photo of him playing behind his head while doing the splits. In an interview, Walker said that different guitarists would busk for money on street corners, and whoever had the most impressive tricks would earn the most money. It probably goes back further than that though.
Welcome to my era😮60's, 70's, 80,s. And I'm still waiting for the next prodigal son 😢
Love SRV and Healey. They are sorely missed.....
Hi Maddy!! Very new to your channel, so I just wanted to give you a proper HELLO! I’m a huge ACDC FAN. A lot of reactors have started their ACDC REACTIONS with THUNDER STRUCK or BACK IN BLACK. Bonn Scott was lead vocals. BACK IN BLACK album was Brian Johnson’s 1st album with the group. Angus Young on lead guitar, Malcom on rhythm guitar , and Phil Rudd On drums. NO ONE has done a reaction to 2 Bonn Scott oldies but AWESOME songs. DOWN PAYMENT BLUES. And RIDE ON!! So much love and light on your journey, AM HERE FOR IT ALL!!❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️
Hi Jeff died to young,His band was also featured in the movie road house
Jeff also made an appearance many years ago in a movie called Roadhouse with Patrick swayze you also made an appearance with Stevie Ray Vaughan and did a song by Stevie called look at Little sister you should check that out👏👏👏
SRV discovered Jeff at a club in Canada. They became friends. THE cancer that blinded him at the age of one ended up taking his life.. He was 41.😢😢 Jeff played the house band in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze.
Jeden z niewielu muzykow albo moze jedyny! Co gral technika fortepianowa! Jeff Healley! R,i,P! Swietny sklad! Na basie Marcus Miller! Fortepian dr John,perkusja Omar Hakim! Kochalnto co robil!

I saw Jeff Healy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton in concert the night before Stevie Ray Vaughan died. Concert price $20.
Jeff was a really good flugel horn player too.
Jeff was a total amazing person and great guitarist , sadly missed . Even film star !!!
Angel Eyes was I think the song that brought him first to the public attention .
Was totally amazing live .
I saw him live in 89 at the Misty Moon in Halifax, amazing show!
Him,and Stevie were good friends, and they played together quite a bit.
Aww
4 Legends together....great reaction!
Like the first commentor stated Jeff Healey is blind. What I don't understand is that some people say that Jeff's playing style is unfair......really? Music is music, if someone can make music on a guitar with their elbow, if it sounds good, it sounds good
💜💜🎼🎼💜💜🎼🎼 love this jam by the awesome Jeff Healey .. good find here Maddy. Do your self a favor and react to "Angel Eyes" by Jeff. He is a fantastic story teller!!!!! Keep rockin' Maddy 🎼🇺🇲🎼🇨🇦🎼🇺🇲🎼🇨🇦🎼🇺🇲🎼🇨🇦🎼🇺🇲🎼🇨🇦🎼🇺🇲🎼🇨🇦🎼

As if Jeff's playing isn't ridiculous enough, he's got Marcus back there totally throwing down. Oh, and Dr. John on piano! SHEESH!!!
Glad you enjoyed this
Jeff had a radio show in Toronto , used to talk to him on the phone all the time. And yes he was a really nice guy .
He has been totally blind since he was one year old. He had a rare cancer and doctors removed both eyes. He has glass eyes and that is why he learned to play the guitar in his lap.
So amazing what he accomplished
@@MaddyReactions He also plays the trumpet and had a 1930-40s style jazz band. I like his blues voice as well, no can sing the blues like a blind man.
SRV didn't help Jeff. He and Albert Collins discovered Jeff in Toronto during the Jazz Festival. I used to see Jeff perform at various venues in Toronto. After he was discovered, he still hung around the jazz jams. Due to contractual obligations, he couldn't play guitar, so he played cornet. He was just as good on horn as guitar.
He was actually into country music.
FYI he lost his eyes to cancer as a baby.
Some of these things I’m sure you’ve heard by now. Jeff was blind, and holding the guitar on his lap was easier for him to learn. Not a SRV protege, but a collaborator - check out them playing Little Sister together, live performance.
Yes. He is blind. I've read that blind people have issues reading brail in awkward positions with their fingers. When playing guitar normally the fingertips would be inverted and reversed facing toward you. This supposedly made learning the neck (guitar frets and finger positions) very awkward for Jeff. This position was more natural to him. Not sure of the truth of that but it makes sense.
Wow
Believe it or not the real reason behind Jeff playing that way was when he was younger his arms were to short to play the guitar comfortable the normal way haha. So he just felt that was more comfortable. I love Jeff so much❤️
If you want to see more he plays a few songs in the movie roadhouse . Excellent soundtrack
And playing rhe guitar blind. He's one of the Greats.
Him, prince and Peter Frampton r the most underrated guitarist.
Steely Dan- iconic rock-jazz fusion band. Peg, Kid Charlemange, Hey Nineteen, Deacon Blues, Gaucho, Aja, Babylon Sisters, My Old School, Reelin’ in the years etc.
- He stepped on his guitar, because as has been noted, HE'S BLIND! :D And AWESOME! :)
Watching from England. Jimmy Hendricks first played with his teeth, everyone else is copying. It's far into the song, I'm amazed you haven't noticed his blindness at this point. He's amazing though right. You should also check out Gary Moore "Still got the blues" live.
His ballad "Angel Eyes" charted in billboard' Top 40, in blues, Pop, and Rock. Its a beutiful song featuring his vocals. He also appereared in
" Roadhouse " the iconic 80's movie.
Jimmie Hendrix is arguably the first to pick the guitar strings with his teeth.
A lot of resonator players hold the guitar flat to play it (see Jerry Douglas)
Check out 'As the Years Go Passing By. live from Germany 1995. Fabulous. Love Omar, Marcus and the Dr. each going nuts on their instrument!
Check out Jeff Healey on stage with Stevie Ray Vaughan together. Also, that’s Dr. John on the piano, check out Right Place Wrong Time by Dr. John.
in the 60's Hendrix also played in all sorts of ways, teeth among others ( i think )
i saw him at abar in ncin about 1986
HE IS BLIND
Oh whoa?!?!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey in "Look at Little Sister". Check it out.
Just for you to know, Maddy, SRV watched a lot of Jimi Hendrix, that's where the tongue playing comes from.
Check him out playing with Les Paul at the Iridium. Completely different but equally amazing.
Good movie to consider for a slow moment in your life 1989 Patrick Swayze Kelly Lynch and Jeff Healey Band, movie title Roadhouse. And also starring Red West one of the members of Elvis Presley's Mafia , went to HighSchool with Elvis.
Nice
RIP!
This is a killer band the line up is like to die for!! In jazz circles they're all legends in their own right including the most sax man David Sanborn. Although Dr John (r.i.p.) didn't exactly play jazz but a mix of many genres and Jeff Healey (r.i.p.) played mostly blues or blues influenced rock. This performance out of this world epic to say the least!! Jeff may have "stolen" the playing-with-the-teeth thing from SRV but i think he in his turn "stole" it from Jimi Hendrix.
You need to check out Jeff Healy and Stevie Ray Vaughan playing together.
Jimmi Hendrix has left the chat. 🤟🤩
I don't think I've ever seen such an attractive CZcamsr in my life. My word you're good looking
It's not a special guitar, just a straight-up Strat in the hands of a master.
pretty sure Jimi Hendrix started it, SRV was a massing Hendrix fan, RIP Healy, amazing talent gone too soon, " angel eyes" and " How Long Can A Man Be Strong" worth a listen
I wish I coulda been there when u realized that he was blind
Same!! He has 0 hindrances, only strength!!
I believe he is the greatest guitar player of all time mostly because he was blind
He and srv played together
the man is nlind
Please react to Roy Buchanan, the best unknown guitar player ever
4 out 5 Dentist disapprove of guitar playing guitar with your teeth.
stevie ray voodoo child
U didn't get he was blind lol u are the 1st one to react that didn't know
Hi Maddy!! 🙏🌹✌️🙋
Hi
@@MaddyReactions Hi gorgeous girl. Did you post this "Hit me up," post? You may have someone posting this as clickbait. I noticed it on several other subs postings. Just wanted to let you know.
❤️Maddy❤️
~Seán Q.
This time has come and gone nothing new to us that lived in that time
He’s blind. As an infant. Probably how he learned to play I. That position.
More like Ray Charles
Jeff could have used a doorknob and still rip the guitar
Also he is blind from birth,
🇨🇦😎
🤣
I don't think you realize that Jeff Healy is blind
