I did a search and didn't see any mention of this great musician's passing.

I watched Roadhouse when I learned he died.

I watched it again the other when I found out about Patrick Swayze.

Not sure I’ve ever hear of him... but I like what I read here! Sad — but he’s now in a better place.

Remember the song “While my guitar gently weeps”?

If you can get some of his CDs you will enjoy them.

I believe George of the Beatles wrote that song, but Healey’s version was exceptional...JFK

I think his most successful song (and admittedly the only one I know but like very much) was Angel Eyes. There were several covers. It's a beautiful song that you can download from the net in no time.

I've always marveled at guitarists who can play bettet than I in spite of their handicaps.

RIP.

I took my own advice and dowloaded Angel Eyes and am listening as I type. Great stuff - gonna listen to some other songs too. Then buy some albums to help out his estate while acknowledging I’m putting some dough in some liberal record companies coffer.

I’ve always liked Jeff’s cover better.

I did a search on “Jeff” and “Healey” and got nothing.

Roadhouse was on 2 nights ago, and it was very sad to see Healey and Swayze.
