It’s not as if J.D.
Steele strolls onto a stage. Abruptly taking the mic, he is all fire and prepared to go into song. In the Minnesota gospel group The Steeles, Steele is the eldest sibling.
And for forty years, he has been creating music in Minnesota and sharing soul and happiness.
Following the 1988 Broadway premiere of “The Gospel at Colonus,” Steele embarked on a tour alongside actor Morgan Freeman. He worked with Prince in the nineties.
