The talk of the today is of a handsome young singer who is bridging the so-called generation gap by win- ning an everexpanding audience composed of both adults and youngsters alike.

The gentleman about whom the “talk” is revolving is Michael Allen, six-feet three inches of handsome talent who beguiles the ladies while not only reaching the male audience, but making them converts also.

The reaction goes like this in reference to his recent smash Copacabana appearance:

Cashbox; “Remarkable . . poise and professionalism . . . .

in-person excitement . . . among the rare breed of nitery acts that keeps you interested in what he has to sing from start to finish of his act.”

Billboard: “Michael Allen delivers with power and effect. ‘You’ve Got To Learn’ was a dramatic ending for his show, but the drama also was evident as he sang Jim Webbs’ *Where’s The Playground Susie?’, which he really belted.”

Record World: “Michael Allen debuted at the Copa and treated the audience to a rare combination of sincerity, desire and talent.”

It’s “talk” like the above which has Michael’s career sky- rocketing.

With powerful headline performances at the Copacabana and the Fontainbleau in Miama Beach under his belt,

Michael is currently being heard across the nation via his newest London Records , “For The Love of Mike,” (produced by Marcel Stellman, directed and arranged by Johnny Harris) a perfect blend of new tunes mixed with popular favorites.
