Richard A. Allen (January 6, 1935 – May 29, 2005)[1] was an American blues singer from Chicago.
He was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and began his singing career as a member of a church choir in his home town.
Some of his recordings of the 1960s, such as "It's A Mess I Tell You" and "I Can't Stand No Signifying", portended the emerging soul-blues style of the 1970s.
After his retirement from the music industry in the early 1970s, he ran a laundry and a limousine service.
