Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Steeles are known for their version of "This Little Light of Mine," a traditional spiritual they recorded in 1963. That song appeared on their debut album of the same name.
They were founded by siblings William "Bill" Steele and Emily "Emmy" Steele, whose vocal harmonies shaped the group's sound. Later, bassist John Perry and drummer Richard Menzies joined to form a quartet.
In the 1970s, they covered Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," which drew some criticism from fans who preferred their spiritual repertoire. The group continued recording despite occasional pushback about their musical choices.
