Alison Steele
Alison Steele was a pioneering American disc jockey in Manhattan at what would become the archetypal progressive rock radio station in the United States, WNEWFM 102.7. 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. At the beginning of her career in the 1950s, while running errands for a local television station, at the age of nineteen, she met and married orchestra leader Ted Steele, who was twenty years her senior. They eventually went their separate ways, whereafter Alison raised their daughter, Heather, as a single parent.
