Alison Steele
Spoken Word and Rock
A.k.a. Ceil Loman
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 102.7. She was commonly known as "The Nightbird". She also became a writer, television producer, correspondent and an entrepreneur. From the Metromedia stereo microphone at WNEW-FM in New York, the Nightbird would open her program each night playing an excerpt from Elisabeth Waldo's "Chant to the Sun" and closed her show with The Beatles "Flying". In August 1970, Jimi Hendrix recorded the song "Night Bird Flying" in her honor. Steele remained a radio icon on several stations in New York right up to her death from cancer in the Autumn of 1995.
