Alison Steele (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alison Steele (born Ceil Loman on January 26, 1937; died September 27, 1995) was a pioneering American disc jockey in Manhattan at what would become the archetypal progressive rock radio station in the United States, WNEW-FM. She was commonly known as "The Nightbird." She also became a writer, television producer, correspondent, and an entrepreneur. Steele was born in Brooklyn, New York. In the 1950s while running errands for a local television station at the beginning of her career, at the age of nineteen, she met and married orchestra leader Ted Steele, who was twenty years older than she was. Eventually, they separated permanently, with Alison raising their daughter, Heather, alone.
