Please don't deify her.
She was considered a BIG JOKE in NYC.
Anyone who was there in the 1960s remembers that she
Raved about this wonderful new group the
FLOWERS!
[AckCHOOlee it was, of course, The Stones' latest album of that name.]

Funny how, even having worked in radio for so many years, when someone
like Allison Steel dies it still affects me like I was a little
groupie of a big rock band...
I have so many great memories of lying in my bed falling asleep to her
signining on at 10:00 p.m. on WNEW-FM... "Come, fly with me, Allison
Steel.... the Night Bird.."
Peace, Allison. May those of us who remember you continue to be
challenged by your love of the medium and the music.
