Barbara Allen may refer to:
Barbara Ann Allen Rainey (August 20, 1948 - July 13, 1982) was the first female pilot in the U. S. armed forces. Rainey received her wings of gold as the first female to be designated a naval aviator in February 1974 and became the first Navy woman to qualify as a jet pilot. She attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. She was killed in an aircraft crash in 1982 while performing her duties as a flight instructor.
Allen was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland and was the daughter of a career Naval Officer. She graduated from Lakewood High School in California, where she was an outstanding athlete and a member of the National Honor Society. Consistently on the dean's list at Long Beach City College, California, she later transferred to and graduated from Whittier College in California where she became a member of the Thalian Society. She was commissioned in the United States Navy Reserve in ceremonies at U.S Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island in December 1970, and was assigned to the Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Virginia. She later served on the staff of the Supreme Allied Command, Atlantic in Norfolk, Virginia.
Barbara Allen was a Republican, Kansas state senator from the 8th District. She is from Overland Park, Kansas, and is an attorney. Allen graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Mount Vernon College for Women (now the George Washington University Mount Vernon campus) and a degree from the University of Missouri–Kansas City Law School. She was first elected to the Kansas House of Representatives, in 1988, and then to the Kansas Senate, in 2000.
In March 2005, Allen was informed that she had breast cancer. Unable to be treated in Kansas, Allen sought treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. After, twelve rounds of chemotherapy, thirty-three radiation treatments, and surgery, doctors said that they could not detect any cancer.
Allen is a native of Overland Park, Kansas. She married to Kevin Moriarty in November 2011.

The New York Pops celebrated their 41st Birthday Gala entitled "The Soundtrack of Our Lives: A Tribute to the Legendary Clive Davis" with Music Honoree and legendary record executive Clive Davis. Performing were notable musicians and singers from the industry including Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick, Carlos Santana, Art Garfunkel, his son Art Jr among others. In a VERY RARE performance and for first time in more than a decade, Art sings Bridge Over Troubled Water with a full accompaniment of an orchestra. He and Art Jr. lit up the audience with their version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic.

Art Garfunkel plays "Bridge Over Troubled Water" live in concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa, California on May 12, 2019. The song was written by Paul Simon and originally appeared on the Simon and Garfunkel album of the same name in 1970. This version does not include the Sail On Silver Girl verse about Simon's then wife, Peggy Harper, which Garfunkel had suggested but which Paul Simon never really cared for. The song has also been reworked to match an earlier version of the song Paul Simon discussed in a recent documentary. Joining Mr. Garfunkel onstage are Tab Laven (guitar) and Paul Beard (keyboard).

Musically, my favorite two minutes of "A Christmas Carol" (1951)
Here is the traditional folk song "Barbara Allen." I first read "Barbara Allen" as a poem in my high school literature book. I believe the book stated it was set to music and is a song, and I subsequently listened to the song as sung by Joan Baez, and here we are today. Thank you, Jan Frye, for the request!

(Arranged by Art Garfunkel)
All in the merry month of May,
When green buds all are swellin'.
Sweet William on his deathbed lay for love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his servant to the town,
The place where she did dwell in.
Saying, "Master dear has sent me here if your name be Barbara Allen."
Then slowly, slowly she got up and slowly she went to him,
And all she said when there she came was, "Young man, I think you're dying.
"Don't you remember the other night when we were in the tavern?
You drank a toast to the ladies there and slighted Barbara Allen."
He turned his face unto the wall,
He turned his back upon her.
"Adieu, adieu, to all my friends.
And be kind, be kind to Barbara Allen."
As she was wandering on the fields she heard the death bell knellin'.
And every note, it seemed to say,
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!"
The more it tolled the more she grieved,
She bursted out a-crying.
"Oh, pick me up and carry me home.
I fear that I am dying."
They buried Willy in the old church yard and Barbara in the new one,
And from William's grave, there grew a rose, from Barbara's, a green briar.
They grew and grew in the old church yard,
Till they could grow no higher,
And there they tied in a true lover's knot,
