Now playing: The Jeff Healey Band - Shapes of Things

Jeff Healey, raised in Toronto's west end, lost his sight when he was one year old, due to cancer of the eyes. Nevertheless he began playing guitar when he was only three, developing his unique playing style of holding the instrument flat on his lap and playing it almost like a keyboard. He pops up in the movie Road House, (inspired when its creator saw Jeff playing) and was nominated for a Grammy in 1988. If you like this cover of the Yardbirds classic, check out "Angel Eyes", "How Long Can a Man Be Strong" and his cover of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Eric Clapton.
