You may remember his '80s hit "Angel Eyes" and The Beatles remake of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". He played with such others as Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, at one point. He was also in the Patrick Swayze movie, "Road House" as part of the bar's band. He was only 41. Seems he had cancer and that was also what took his sight at age 1.

May he RIP. Even completely blind, he knew how to work a guitar.

Angel Eyes by Jeff Healey

Girl, you're looking, fine tonight,

and every guy has got you in his sights.

What you're doing, with a clown like me,

is surely one of life's little, mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,

"How did I ever win your love?"

What did I do?

What did I say,

to turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,

never even got one second glance

Across a crowded room was close enough,

I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask, the stars above,

"How did I ever win your love?"

What did I do?

What did I say,

to turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me,

if it's just a dream

'Cause she's the best thing,

ever happened to me

All you fellows, you can look all you like,

but this girl you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I need to know,

if this is love why does it scare me so?

It must be somethin only you can see,

'cause girl I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,

"How did I ever win your love?"

What did I do?

What did I say,

to turn your angel eyes my way?

hey, hey, hey, yeah, awww

May you rest in peace, Jeff - you and your music will be missed.
