Found out this morning that Blues / rock legend legend Jeff Healey died on Sunday after a long battle against cancer. He was 41 years old and his new album is due out in Canada on Monday. Sadly the rare form of cancer that claimed his sight at age one came back to claim his life 40 years later.
Rest In Peace Jeff, only wish that I had got to see you play live.

Jeff was a highly talented with both guitar & trumpet. He will be missed. I too wish I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live.

The film was Roadhouse. It was that film that introduced me to Jeff Healey's music. Ade |

Thanks Bob. I've always enjoyed Jeff's version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

A sad loss indeed.
Jeff did the only other version of Cream's 'Badge' that might actually be as good as the original!
RIP Jeff - long may your music live on.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone remember the name of the theme tune for Pot Black?
Thanks.

Sorry could not miss that one.

Pot Black's instantly recognisable theme tune was the ragtime classic Black and White Rag, composed by George Botsford and performed by Winifred Atwell.
