Biography
A Jump Blues and R&B singer with more than a hint of jazz in her elastic soprano, Allen got her start with Lucky Millander in the late '40s. Her best work features lean, small combo accompaniment on a variety of blues standards, where she is subtly supported by session greats such as saxophonist King Curtis and guitarist Al Casey.
