Donna Allen

Donna Allen launched her vocal career in the early '80s. The Floridian joined the band Hi-Octane and toured with them a year before leaving for the group Trama. She then formed Donna Allen & Company and performed in the Tampa area. Produced by Lou Pace, her 1986 debut LP, Perfect Timing, included the single "Serious," which earned Allen a number five R&B hit; the follow-up "Satisfied," which reached number 14; and a duet with Howard Hewett on "Perfect Timing." Her 1987 LP Heaven on Earth had a remake of Maze's "Joy and Pain" that did well on the international circuit. Not much was heard from her until 2013, when she competed on the NBC singing competition The Voice. I'm Your Bride, an independent album, followed in 2015. ~ Ron Wynn
