He hit Number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with \”Angel Eyes\” and reached the Top 10 in Canada with the songs \”I Think I Love You Too Much\” and \”How Long Can a Man Be Strong\”. Healey began playing guitar when he was three, developing his unique style of playing the instrument flat on his lap. In 1990, the band won the Juno Award for Canadian Entertainer of the Year. The albums Hell to Pay and Feel This gave Healey 10 charting singles in Canada between 1990 and 1994. By the release of the 2000 album Get Me Some, he began to concentrate his talent in a different musical direction closer to his heart, the appreciation for another original American music form, jazz.
His main jazz group for touring and recording was Jeff Healey’s Jazz Wizards. For many years, Healey toured throughout North America and Europe and performed at his club, \”Healey’s Roadhouse on Bathurst Street in Toronto, where he played with his jazz band on Thursday nights and also on Saturday afternoons.
