Jeff Healey was a phenomenal guitar player. Be sure to check out his cover of The Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Also, check out his acting in the 1989 classic Road House with Patrick Swayze.
Yes what a great cover!!!
The person who wrote the book Road House is based upon wrote the band based upon The Jeff Healey Band.
Yea road house
Yes! Great movie!! Jeff did great too!!! R.I.P. Jeff Healy ❤️🙌🏻❤️
His name is Dalton. PS) You play pretty good for a blind guy. JH) Yeah and I thought you'd be bigger.
It only took me 22 years but I can finally listen to this song without crying. I had a husband who was killed in a horrific car crash. This was our song. RIP JGR ❤️
My sincere condolences, Lee Troy.
😞💛🤗
Im so sorry, its a Beautiful song..my sincerest condolences.
Bless you mam
I still cry, everytime 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Loved his work in the Patrick Swayze movie "Road House". He was a very talented singer/songwriter/musician
I just thought that was him!
Agreed💯🙌
"I thought you were taller" that guy?? hahaha
RIP Jeff Healy.
From his debut 1989 album.
His cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is excellent as well
It's the best cover ever
1988 see the light album.
Right there yes!!! Jeff’s rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is out of this world amazing.
I wish you guys would review Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks Midnight In Harlem.
@@casey4602 Yes ...awesome song
My late husband said this song was dedicated to me. First time since his suicide I've been able to listen to it. Thank you
I'm so sorry for your husbands passing marilyn; so glad this hopefully will bring back loving memories 😘
I’m so sorry
Back in 1989 i was 6
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry that you lost him so tragically. If he could, amid his darkest thoughts and sadness, see the warmth and light that you gave his life and felt that this song gave voice to that, then I think you kept him alive longer than you know, and honestly, you will forever hold this song and memory with the part of him within you that will never be gone.
He clearly had a wonderful soul to dedicate this to you.
He was blind from infancy due to cancer. He had battled it off and on his entire life and I think he succumbed to it at age 41. 2008
😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✌️❤️
He wasn't born blind. He lost his sight at age four because of cancer in his eyes.
Jeff was a Canadian national treasure. ❤
As a Canadian (calgary) he was an is a Canadian treasure so was Gord downie (tragically hip ) rest in peace you both were legends here
peace and love from Canada. Jeff Healy is one of our treasures.
RIP Jeff Healey
I fell all over myself clicking!!! I’ve wanted y’all to do this for so long. I met a girl at the beach when I was 12 and she was 14. This was our song. Shout out to Lori wherever you are .😂❤️
🥰 sweet memories!
I have a similar story- oh those definitely were the days!
Shout out to Lori.... for Joe❤
Respect to those adoptive parents for taking in a child with physical challenges, raising him in a loving environment and supporting him in developing his talent. They must be wonderful folks.
Jeff Healey was one of the best just like Stevie Ray Vaughan and all the others may they both rest in peace
Man, I'm so glad Jeff Healey is getting a lot of love lately. One of the all-time greats that doesn't get mentioned nearly often enough.
Thank you! I put Jeff up there with Jimi Hendrix and many other greats, and his tragic passing at such a young age cannot take away how phenomenally talented he was. Rest In Peace, Jeff Healey.
Jeff Healey was so underrated. His rich thick silky voice is amazing. Ever watch the Movie Road House with Patrick Swayze?? You really should. The Jeff Healey Band is playing behind chicken wire cause the Bar is so rough. Great Movie, with a Great soundtrack of Jeff Healey. Much Love from California Kat ❤
Ugh yes! Jeff Healey and the band were so good in Road House! One of my favorite movies!
@@philthemovieguy81 Mine too, Omg, Patrick Swayze was such a Beautiful Man. R.est I.n P.ower Patrick. God Bless and keep You and Yours Safe and Well. Respectfully California Kat
Yes!agree 💯
And I thought you'd be bigger
@@chipdamutt108 HA ha ha ha haaaaa. Omg Chip, one of my Favorite Lines in the Movie. I read your comment just now and thought, Hmmmm what does he mean by that?? As soon as I thought that, I saw in my mind People saying that to Patrick. Oh Man that's priceless. Immediately cracked me up. My Daddy always said, Sis it's not the size of the Dog in the Fight, It's the size of the Fight in the Dog... He's so right and so are You. Thanks for making me remember and putting a smile on my Face. You take Care Now. God Bless, May he Keep You and Yours Safe n Well. Much Love from California Kat ❤
Just saw the movie Roadhouse that Jeff Healey was in with Patrick Swayze. Both went to soon!!! Amazing talent!
Maybe they should check out the one song Patrick Swayze recorded? I don't think they've done that one. 😉 it's a shame he never focused on music, just dancing and acting. He was officially a triple threat though. 😍
@@ChibiChula Patrick did a few songs. He did one for Dirty Dancing, and a couple for Road House.
Cancer sucks
@@TimedRevolverwhat songs did he do for Roadhouse? I've only heard She's Like the Wind from Dirty Dancing
@@perrdawg-py8my1cl7l He did two:
Cliff's Edge and Raising Heaven (in Hell Tonight).
Criminally underated. Check him out doing Look at Little Sister live with SRV
They’ve reacted to that before- possibly got blocked if you can’t find it
They did it. Jeff Healy is one of Jay's favorite guitarists.
My wife and I fell in love to this song. We've been together for 28 years.
My husband and I also fell in love to this song! He's a guitar player and loved introducing me to songs of amazing guitar players/bands I'd never heard before. "Angel Eyes" was the first "love" song he played for me (via his car cassette player...LOL!). We've been together now for 26 years! Here's to many more blissful years to you and your wife!
@@jbeannie90 Thank you. Congratulations on 26 years with your husband. That's awesome!!
@@jackchasteen8387 Thank you! Take Care!
Our national treasure!!! ❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤ You were the best, Jeff. Thank you for your incredible talent ❤❤❤❤
Oh yes I love the Jeff Healey band. Blind musician but an incredible guitarist. He and his band performed in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick swayze. Fun fact, Patrick swayze was also a singer. He does the song she's like the wind. You should definitely do that video.
Yes!!!!
He does a Bob Dylan cover, which plays at the end with the credits. It's called 'When The Night Comes Falling' and it's an incredible song.
@@michaelvallejo8148 yep I remember it from the movie. It's at the very end when they're skinny dipping.
@@michaelvallejo8148 Wow MV never knew it was a Dylan cover - Thx
Patrick Swayze was stupidly talented.
Actor, writer, dancer, martial artist, and a great voice.
Oh, and every woman ever, wanted him.
A school here in Toronto (near where Jeff lived) names an award after him given to a graduating student. Last year Jeff's son won the award. A great artist and Canadian.
Oh I love Jeff Healey. I remember when this song came out. I slow danced to it with a really sweet Marine Corp friend.
Just think, he's singing about eyes. And he's never even seen someone's eyes before. He doesn't know the emotion that is felt when looking into someone's eyes. But, you'd never know it from listening to the song.
"As The Years Go Passing By" is another good one from him. I don't play the guitar but he's on a whole new level and I appreciate him sharing his talent with the world.
Yes! The live version from Stuttgart is absolutely killer stuff, a must-see. RIP Jeff, we miss ya!
Yes! His and Gary Moore's versions are amazing!
Agreed
I absolutely love this song, my favorite Jeff Healey song for sure!!!
This is a ballad to end all ballads! This song was written for Jeff's wife. She was his girlfriend at the time. It was his way of purposing to her!
Angel Eyes written by John Hiatt
Singer/songwriter John Hiatt wrote the song. He has some good hits as well such as "Perfectly Good Guitar" and "Cry Love"
John Hiatt is one of the best songwriters ever
John Hiatt is one of the most underrated singer-songwriters out there. He's so damn good.
I think they'd love "Old Habits" or "When You Hold Me Tight."
A favorite of mine is "Tennessee Plates." He also wrote "A Thing Called Love" a song that Bonnie Raitt turned into a huge hit.
Hiatt's "Slow Turning" album is a masterpiece.
RIP Jeff Healey. One little thing about him. He was blind and created phenomenal music.
I, too, tripped over myself getting here. I knew this one would grab Amber's heart as it did my own and millions of other girls back then. I just wanted someone to make this "our" song. I think we all did. So sweet, simple and achingly beautiful.
I had the honor of meeting Jeff and his GORGEOUS wife at a House of Blues show in 2005. Such a chill and humble dude, and she was an unbelievable sweetheart. I spent about 15 minutes with them between sets, and it's one experience I will never forget. I literally broke down and cried when i heard of his passing. I really miss him.
🇨🇦 music at its best!!
Consider Blue Rodeo…you won’t be disappointed!!
Blue Rodeo - Try
ALL Blue Rodeo songs are good, but my suggestion for the 1st is "5 Days in May" due to both the instrumentation (which J. will love) & the lyrics (that I think Amber will especially like) - as a start to knowing this band.
@Rob Squad. Yeah this is a song my wife's parents loved. We are high school sweethearts and I love the memories it gives me. I had a gf but, I just couldn't stop looking forward to seeing her. We danced at a school dance as friends and I knew. We are going to be together forever. Long story short we are still together. 5 kids and i still sing this softly and dance with her. Love you Lauren
Jeff played every song with a self-awareness of his own soul. Pure genius! You feel what Jeff feels!
He lost his sight as an infant due to retinoblastoma (rare eye cancer) and taught himself to play the guitar when he was just three years old, eventually adopting his trademark style of playing the instrument laying flat on his lap.
Jeff Healey, a Canadian guitarist, singer and songwriter whose band sold millions of blues-rock records and who also pursued a passion for old-time jazz, playing the trumpet and clarinet, died on Sunday in Toronto. He was 41.
R.I.P Jeff you were an amazing talent!!!
Literally sitting here tears streaming back in the day, my husband (passed away almost three years ago now) he used to sing this to me and we'd dance together. I love the memories y'all bring back to me!
Tracy we are so happy we could bring you back those amazing memories, are hearts and prayers are with you. Having lost very close loved ones ourselves it can be tough even years after
@@RobSquadReactions isn't it amazing how a song can transport us through time to moments when these songs affected us in strong ways. Love you guys.
@@TracyMooreCarolinaMainely very much I hear songs and it takes me back to the exact moment with my grandad I can remember every detail to where we were
God,I`m Sorry..I truly Empathize..I lost So much myself...Great Grandmother,Grandmother/Father..List is long...*@Rob Squad Reactions* TY for reacting...Song`s Beautiful...Its Spirit,The Grateful and Wonderous Feeling from it(Empathetic) Moved me,In a major way(God I`m a baby,lol!)...Jeff was TRULY LUCKY HE had Angel Eyes looking his way :)......
Amber's eyes when his was singing, she was in LOVE.
This was a huge hit in 1989. One of the most memorable love songs of the year.
My late wife's birthday was on February 25th and I used to sing this song to her all the time. This song fit us so well. I never learned to dance, even though she tried to teach me several times. We'd walk into a room and all eyes were on her.
Thank you for doing this song. I really can't listen to it without tears in my eyes.
🥺💔
So sorry for your loss 💔💔
@@ChanelStuff thank you.
Watching him perform is easy to forget he's blind bc he refused to allow a handicap to intrude with his gifts. You know heaven is a rocking place with Jeff, SRV, Jimi, Janis & all the other great artists that have gone home. I needed to hear this tonight .. thank you both for gettin 'er done 👍🏼❣️🤘🏼☮️ Fun fact for me .. he bears the first name of Norman .. just like my awesome Daddy🥰
Confidence man is another great one from these guys. Also they do a great cover of while My guitar gently weeps.
Confidence Man - like Angel Eyes - was written by the great John Hiatt.
Yeah! Confidence Man! That video was the 1st time I saw him and it blew me away.
One of the most heart-felt and beautiful songs ever written. Every guy has felt this way about some girl.
First time I saw Jeff was at a bar on Yonge St that hosted open mic nights. Some friends were there with their band and Jeff walked in. Apparently he had been doing that for awhile. This was in the early to mid 80s. He would take transit to Yonge St and he would remember all the places that would let him play. Our jaws dropped seeing this guy play guitar on his lap and he ripped it up!! He played so often that I randomly saw him 3-4 times in the next couple of years. We were doing grip work at the Copa and saw him play there as well. We knew he would get the attention he deserved. RIP Jeff, you are a gift to all who saw or heard your wonderful music!!
Rip.Jeff. love this song 🎵 ❤. Gr8 reaction. Thx for sharing.
I live in Western NY, southeast of Jeff's hometown of Toronto Canada, but well within radio distance. I was on my way home from work when the DJ on Q107 came on in tears announcing that he had passed. He had battled cancer several times, but in the end he lost that fight. I remember pulling over and shedding a few tears for his passing. He was absolutely phenomenal. As others have mentioned he was in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze. What they haven't mentioned is he did more than a few of the songs on the soundtrack for the movie.
Finally!! I’d say his biggest hit-
💖💙💃✌️ R.I.P. Jeff Healy 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Jeff Healey. This talented young man. Tragically died. I don’t recall when. But “Angel Eyes” made him famous. During the filming of the action flick Road House starring Patrick Swayze, Jeff and Patrick formed a friendship. I believe Patrick convinced the producers to cast Jeff in Road House. Jeff was a blues singer in the film with his real band mates.
R.l.P. Jeff & R.I.P. Patrick. ❤❤❤🎤🎬👏👏
I believe it was 2008 when we lost a great Canadian legend
March 2nd 2008
My husband of almost 36 years still sings this to me. I love this song.
Jeff’s best song…I’m glad you finally get to enjoy it.
Rest in Peace Jeff Healey
Suggestions:
The Jeff Healey Band - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I knew Jeff and have been to many of their concerts back in the day. One of the most respected, fantastic guitar players of that era. His unique technique allowed him to play unlike any other. Another great ballad similar to Angel Eyes they did was ”Lost In Your Eyes”, which is a song that was originally performed by Don Johnson of all people, believe it or not. Jeff”s cover version however is so much more beautiful and emotional. If you want to check out some live performances, one of my fav gigs was on the beach in Almere, Netherlands in I think 1992 or 93. Not sure if it’s on YT. They also had one official VHS out of a gig at Hammersmith Apollo from ’89 IIRC. Perhaps someone was kind enough to restore it and upload the entire thing here; the clip you reacted to is from that tape. Thank you for this reaction, I’d never have expected to find a Jeff Healey reaction now, so many years after his passing. I’m so happy his greatness is still being remembered today.
Jeff Healey was an immensely talented musician, with an equally compelling back story. He was adopted as a baby, & had a rare form of cancer, retinoblastoma, which necessitated the removal of both eyes. On stage whilst performing See The Light, some thought he Had to have some vision to be able to move to the music; would've been a neat trick for prosthetic eyes. I love all his music, but a decided favorite is I Think I Love You Too Much, by another favorite guitar player Mark Knopfler.
Jeff Healey amazing singer and guitarist.
As I watch the two of you react to, and give your critiques of all of these great songs, I can SEE the love you two have for each other when you look at each other. Great song, great reaction, great channel. LOVE y'all!
He was really amazing, just a beautiful soul, and song...RIP Jeff...Thanx for amazing reaction, Peace
Oh I'm so excited. This was one of my suggestions a long time ago! Yay, love the channel and you guys! This is my absolute favorite song ever
The best of both worlds (his voice and guitar playing) is Jeff Healey doing As The Years Go Passing By. Most amazing solo I've ever heard.
What an absolutely beautiful song!! Didn’t really know much about this band, but oh wow!! He can do it all now!!
♥️The old white woman
Angel Eyes was written by prolific Nashville songwriters John Hiatt and Fred Koller. If your kids watched the Disney movie 'The Country Bears' they will have heard John Hiatt as he was the voice actor for the lead singer in the bear band. He also wrote 'Riding With The King' which was a big hit for BB King & Eric Clapton two decades after Hiatt wrote it. (That song with the official video would be great for a reaction!!!)
You two need to watch the movie “Road House”; Jeff plays the bar singer in the movie. Very 80s
"Not bad for a blind white guy"
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 I thought you would be bigger
Saw him in the 90s at Lulu’s Roadhouse, Ontario,🇨🇦right up close. Just as good in concert. Fabulous!! I recommend I Think I Love You Too Much, and his cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Wow. Also there is a documentary on him on Netflix ( in Canada anyways). It focuses on his club in Toronto where everyone came to play. The legends.
RIP MR JEFF HEALY ❣️❣️
Oh wow… I haven’t heard this song in decades and I never realized it was Jeff Healey. Thanks everyone, made my day.
Saw him live with our beautiful Clear Lake, Lake County, California lake behind him for a backdrop. He was AMAZING live and what a sweet guy he was, too. RIP Jeff.
Wish people had cell phone or video coverage of this moment❤
Thanks for coming back to more Jeff. His guitar talents and voice are just outstanding. Another great Canadian talent. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I also want to congratulate Amber on coming so far since she first joined Jay.
Your contributions to each song are so heartfelt and well thought out.
Continued success to your adorable family. Lots of maple syrup love from Canada. ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦
Saw the Jeff Healy Band and Robert Cray together in 1989. Great music and great show!
That would of been awesome i love both those musicians.
This song was one of mine and my husband's favorite make out songs. Great choice!💙
I LOOOOOVE me some Jeff Healey, He was in "Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze.
slow danced to this song so many times. 😍
The man is crazy underrated. He had everything to make him stand out. He was a phenom, played from his lap and was friggin blind. How did ppl miss all that?
This is just one of the most beautiful love songs among power ballads. My favorite line from the song (which also elicited a smile from Amber): "All you fellows can look all you like; but this girl you see is leaving here with me tonight."
Jeff was an amazingly all around talent. Underrated & overlooked in a lot of topics (guitar, vocals, acting).
A song with a similar "love song" feeling like this The Tony Rich Project - "Nobody Knows"
I knew it! I knew it! I just knew you would love this song AND performance of the song. THANKS Jay and Amber for playing the long version. That's the one I requested. The sweet high note at the end should not be missed and they cut it off on the short version. Plus, let's tip our hat to John Hiatt, the songwriter. He wrote another hit that Bonnie Raitt covers titled "Thing called Love". That will be a great FEMALE FRIDAY song.....hint, hint. 😉🎸
Great song! I sang this to my wife for our first dance at our wedding
One of my all time favorite songs!!! Gone way too soon..everything you said so spot on..thx for doing this!!
Paul McCartney and Wings,-(Let it be) here is your piano Jordan.
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band,-(On the Dark Side) has Amber's sax. Keep up the good work 😎👍
I’ve suggested John Cafferty dozens of times. Nothing so far. I’ve given up. Too bad because I saw him in November at Daryl’s House in NY. He’s still great. Amber is missing out on great sax.
Love the sound track from Eddie and the Cruisers! Thanks for sparking that memory by mentioning On the Dark Side!
I think most people don't know the band's real name. Instead people call them Eddie and the Cruisers. Common mistake.
You are right..and most people have never seen the movie either! Lolol anywho thanks, I have listened to John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band in a long time....I feel a binge coming on!😊
This is a great song. Originally written and recorded by John Hiatt, another great songwriter and singer, whose stuff you've probably heard - he also wrote and recorded "The Thing Called Love", which spearheaded Bonnie Raitt's comeback when she released her cover of it.
If you like guitar you should check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Blue on Black!! His tone on that song is outstanding!!
Definitely
Agreed! 💯
Aberdeen is another great song too. Seen the band back in 1999 along with BB King
This is the song that introduced me to Jeff Healey. I knew he could sing before I knew he was blind and a guitar player. He was the Roadhouse band in the Patrick Swayze movie of the same name. Jeff Healey a talent gone too soon. Rip ❤
Such a beautiful song! 😍

I love Jeff Healey! He was great in Road House!! His voice is so soulful, and makes you feel his lyrics in your heart! Great choice guys! Thanks!
Though I've been an admirer of Jeff Healey since "Roadhouse," I never heard this song before today. What an amazing and heart-felt song.
He was so talented! You should definitely check out “I Think I Love You Too Much”!!!
✌🏻❤️
All of His music is wonderful But it can't compare to a live concert like I saw him A great loss to the music world with Jeff's pass it passing god bless you Jeff Healey
Thank you for highlighting Jeff Healey. So many people don't know his music and they are missing something special.
Jeff was on my bucket list of seeing him live. Sorry, that never happened. But i love you and admire you
If you got the chance to see Jeff in concert, I did, you know that he sounded just as good in person.
we used to watch him play the pick caddy ( a run-down bar behind the woodbine center) and it was awesome to see him put on a performance. then come down to the crowd like a normal person and drink beer with the people that cheered him. Jeff and Colin James are Canada's treasure than nobody knows. I have every cassette ( tells you how old I am) he ever produced. best times of my life
You guys are hitting it out of the park tonight. First Van "The Man" Morrison, and now Jeff Healey! Thanks for putting a smile on my face tonight.
We called back on your first Jeff video….Amber would MELT for “Angel Eyes”!!! Have fun at Disney!!! 💗💗💗
If I ever get married I want this song played at my wedding.
I was a bartender for a big wig catering company back when this song was released!!! BELIEVE me, this song was played at an insane number of weddings!! LOL!!
It was played at mine.
This is a great song, one of my top 5 favorites. Jeff was an amazing guitar player and singer. Even loved the small role he and his band had in Road House.
Another great Canadians gone too soon. RIP Jeff Healy
Jeff Healey was the Ronnie Milsap of my generation...80's kids. Completely and totally blind but his guitar could still bring people to tears with ease. You want to see or hear great rockin Jeff Healey band music listen to the Roadhouse Soundtrack. That was a true testament of his skill as a performer and especially a blind performer..taken from the world, his family and his fans way to early. RIP Jeff.
If you want a Jeff Healey Band rocker try "When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky".
Jeff not only had a wonderful voice, but he really can emotes. Then that phenom talent with his guitar.
This song was in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze. Jeff Healy had a roll in the movie.
Back in the day..The Myriad in Okc was the place to see the supergroup..ZZ Top, Kiss , Whitenake etc....but the Local rock station the KATT...when the played real rock..had an Annual Birthday bash they would have numerous bands three day weekend...the lesser known bands like Jeff Healy played in the side rooms...I saw him with my high school sweetheart with 500 people..as Jeff and band played on flatbed trailer inside...Angel Eyes was our song and one of the greatest slow dances I've ever had. Gone to soon RIP Jeff.
Great song written by John Hiatt a fantastic singer-songwriter in his own right. He also wrote Thing Called love which was a hit for Bonnie Raitt (have you covered her on Female Friday? if you haven't you have to. She is amazing. Either that sone or Angel From Mongomery which was written by the late John Prine).
I’m a 68 year old guy and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Some for the sentiment of the song, some for the oh so early loss of Jeff to the music world, some for the triumphs and tragedies in his life.
