Jeff Healey - Hoochie Coochie Man

Jeff Healey, arguably one of the most distinctive guitar players of our time.
He lost his sight to eye cancer when he was only 8 months old.
As a toddler, Healey picked up a guitar and, setting it on his knees, developed a distinct sound and unique playing style.
During the course of his musical career, he shared the stage with such music titans as Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Harrison and B.B. King.
In 1988, his band released the album See the Light, featuring the hit single "Angel Eyes" and the song "Hideaway", which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
In 1990, a reader poll in Guitar Player magazine named Mr. Healey the best blues guitarist and best new talent.

He died at age 41 in his home town of Toronto after a battle with lung cancer.
