Allen followed his father's footsteps as a film narrator when he lent his voice as narrator of the Jim Carrey movie, Me, Myself, and Irene.

Allen was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Rex Allen.

Singing in the "countrypolitan" style, he had hits with "Goodbye" (1974), "I'm Gettin Good At Missing You (Solitaire)" (1977), "Lonely Street" (1977), "Two Less Lonely People" (1977), "With Love" (1978), "If I Fell in Love With You" (1979), "It's Over" (1980), "Drink it Down, Lady" (1980), "Cup of Tea" (1980, a duet with Margo Smith) and others.
