The retinoblastoma that robbed him of his eyesight when he was a very small child, extinguished his brilliant life today.
Here’s an amazing clip of him playing Look At Little Sister, with the man who composed it, the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Sorry about the quality of the sound, it was taped from a one off performance on a Canadian TV show (It´s Only Rock & Roll) with the sound up way too loud, and it seems to be the only clip of these two giants playing together available online.
Neither Healey nor his parents knew how to hold a guitar when he first started to learn at the age of three.

Fantastic!
This video make me day!
Thank you very much Michael!:o)
I’m glad you liked it Andrei, but I’m sad the world will never hear any more music from these two exceptional talents.
I just learned that S.R.V. “discovered” Healey,and gave him his break into show business. In the last few years Healey had been playing a lot of saxophone, too.
