BIO: Asa Alonso Allen, better known as A. A. Allen, was a minister with a Pentecostal evangelistic healing and deliverance ministry. He was, for a time, associated with the “Voice of Healing” movement founded by Gordon Lindsay. He died at the age of 59 in San Francisco, California. Allen was buried at his ministry headquarters in Miracle Valley, Arizona. Allen became one of the first to develop a national television ministry. His television programs frequently included excerpts from his “healing line” ministry. By the late 1960s, however, music formed an increasingly dominant part of his programs, with that music generally being performed by African-American singer and choir leader Gene Martin and the Andrews Sisters. Allen died at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco, California, on June 11, 1970, at the age of 59. According to his brother in-law Gerald King, he and Allen were at the Jack Tar Hotel in the late afternoon whenAllen mentioned that he felt tired and decided to take a nap before dinner. According to King’s documented testimony he said, “I went to my room, and about 8:00 P.M. began to be concerned because I hadn’t heard from Allen. I phoned his room, got no reply, so went up and knocked on the door, and still got no reply. I then proceeded to get the manager who opened the door, and we found Bro. Allen slumped over in an easy chair, dead.” The medical examiner issued a certificate of death, stating the cause of death as “an apparent heart attack”. Many stories have been told, some stating that “the room was full of empty liquor bottles”, and others, that he “died an alcoholic” but lack enough evidence to be considered true. Allen was buried at Miracle Valley, Arizona, on June 15, 1970.
