I have great memories of attending his outdoor concert in Barrie, Ontario on New Years Eve a number of years ago; he was very spirited and a lot of fun to watch. Best part was watching a great number of couples start slow dancing when he started ANGEL EYES.
Thanks for the memories, Jeff. I know you'll love what Heaven looks like.
Please, please, if you are going to give the man his place, be kind enough to spell it right. Jeff Healey
A very, very sad day for music. He was a class act and a lot of fun. From his rock days, man what a performer he was, to his Blues/Jazz albums and radio show in Toronto, this man was a great!
I feel very much like I did the day I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan had died. Disappointed that I won't ever hear new music from him and sad for the loss of a great man.
I was so looking forward to a new record, which is to be released in about a month from now. He was going to tour for the album too. What a shame.
I suspect the Juno award organizers will be scrambling now to ensure he is properly honoured at this years show, April 6th.
RIP Jeff, you will be greatly missed!
There's a World Container with your name on it, and a billion ways to go bezerk!!
I only once ever had the opportunity to see Jeff Healey perform live. I was visiting Toronto in 1999. I went there to go visit a friend, but coincidentally, there were a bunch of great concerts that week. There was a free day-long festival featuring Jeff Healey, Kim Stockwood, Moxy Früvous, Emm Gryner, Tal Bachman, David Wilcox, and Moist. I was only familiar with Healey's radio singles, which really hadn't ever done anything for me. In person, though, it was an entirely different story. He was incredibly talented and in a live setting, that really came through. I was amazed at how much I enjoyed his performance. A definite highlight of the day for me.

To be fair, if you check the URL that BOSsportsfan34 posted, it looks like the article originally spelled "Healey" incorrectly as well. I think the National Post corrected the article (and redirected the URL) after the first post was made.
