.

Allen holds the distinction of being the sole county artist produced by the late but great Prince. "I met Prince at a basketball court at the studio where I was recording in California. That was our chance meeting. I went back home and I just said a 'prayer.' All of a sudden, I thought about Prince. I wrote him a letter at the studio and a couple of days later, his engineer called me up and told me that he written a song for me and asked to produce it. This was a song ['Telepathy'] that he wrote for me," she said.

.

Allen acknowledged that Prince's death hit her hard. "I was devastated. To lose him was a great loss in the music world. I met him personally and spent time with him personally. I am so glad I did. He had such a big image. He was such a gentleman to me and so generous. Prince was an inspiration to so many," she said.
