Annette Hanshaw, born 1901, was one of the first great jazz singers
although she never thought much of her own singing. In 1935, she was
chosen America's most popular female singer in a national poll of radio
listeners promoted by Radioland Magazine. Annette never appeared in
movies although she had numerous offers, and her only appearance on film
is the 1:43 clip of her singing We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye from Captain Henry's
Maxwell House Showboat in 1933. She appeared on numerous radio shows
for Maxwell House, Van Heusen shirts, Camel cigarettes, etc but left in
1936 at the height of her career to live with her husband, Pathe exec
Wally Rose.
