Paul B Allen III has been a professional in the music industry for nearly fifty years. He has written songs that became Billboard magazine number one hits for U.K. Jazz Fusion band Incognito, and for Brothers in Rhythm (on the American charts). His song, “Such A Good Feeling” has been listed as one of the “Greatest 100 Dance Singles of all Time,” by the venerable dance music magazine, Mixmag.
Allen has also served as the lead vocalist of a legendary vocal group, the Platters (“Only You,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” “The Great Pretender”), and as such, he has lead the group in performances at prestigious venues all around the world, including The Kennedy Center, where the group was backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed for the Royal Family in England, and for Prince Albert of Monaco, as well as for the President and First Lady of Fiji. He was also invited to perform for the President of the United States of America.
Allen’s style of writing is eclectic. To date he has completed four books, including a historical science fiction / fantasy, named Benjamin Franklin: Time Tripper, an autobiography, From Karaoke to The Platters, a whimsical set of short stories named The Tall Tales of Erasmus Obadiah Short, and a superhero screenplay rendered to book form, The Power of X.
Eagerly anticipated by many around the world, The Saturday Morning Song Chronicles becomes Allen’s fifth book, and perhaps his most compelling work to date.
