  John Steel Biography - AOL Music
Steel was the main force behind putting together the big band that played with the Animals in the summer of 1965 at the Richmond Jazz Festival.
Steel had recently married and become a father, and was also fed up with a hectic schedule that left him little time to spend with his family.
Steel left music for a few years, but started playing again in the early '70s, when he did some gigs with the pub rock band Eggs Over Easy, and also worked in the office of fellow ex-Animal Chas Chandler, by then one of the most successful pop music managers in Britain.
