It was widely believed that she was only 16 years old when she began her recording and radio programs and

Annette Hanshaw (Manhattan, October 18, 1901 – Manhattan, March 13,
1985) was born Catherine Annette Hanshaw. A number of her family members
were in vaudeville and she was brought up to love the entertainment
business although she studied art and design and wanted to be an artist
and portrait painter. She was an exceptionally beautiful girl and had a
lovely singing voice that came across wonderfully clearly over the radio
and on records at the local stations she would sing for. A demo record
she made was heard by Pathe Records executive Herman “Wally” Rose and
after taking one look at her with her fantastic dimpled cheeks and
stunning figure he was smitten, realizing that he had a nationally
marketable potential superstar. Quickly, she began a recording career
and radio performances and touring shows that brought her almost
overnight to the top of her profession. At one point she was more
popular than other better known singers of the mid 1920s including Ruth
Etting.

She tried consciously to limit her personal appearances in vaudeville and shows because of her tremendous

stage fright. She lived in constant fear that her voice would give out
or she would sing a bad note and disgrace herself but she was earning so
much money she couldn’t afford to stop doing it. She was urged to sing
in different voices and under at least fifteen different names depending
on the kind of song she was singing or the record label she was singing
for. She had huge numbers of singing aliases therefore and had hit
songs under a wide variety of names on many different labels. Sometimes
she imitated Helen Kane (inspiration for the Betty Boop cartoon
character) and sang in a baby voice. Sometimes she sang sentimental
ballads. Often she became known for jazz age up-tempo tunes which she
sang with a calm voice, occasional jazzy interpolations and a good sense
of how to fit in well with a complex orchestral arrangement.


In
addition, Annette’s performances were enhanced by her great beauty
which was used to sell sheet music by putting her face and form fully on
the
cover. Pictures of her graced sheet music shops like the one owned by
her aunt and uncle and sold her records — it was used to sell sheet music by putting her face and form fully on the
cover. Pictures of her graced sheet music shops like the one owned by
her aunt and uncle and sold her records — it is said that within five
years of her coming on the scene with her first recordings for Pathe,
she had sold 30 million records and started appearing regularly as a
guest on radio programs from 1929. She also starred on a radio show
which featured Annette Hanshaw: The Personality Girl on the Maxwell House Show Boat from 1932 to 1934.

“It takes humility and courage

two of life's great lessons

to admit one's mistakes and correct them.”

When we judge someone, we don't see them as they are.

We see them as we imagine them through our judgment.

It's a false image of who they really are,

and if we only look for the bad in someone,

that's what we'll likely find.

Be grateful for what you already have while pursuing your goals.

If you're not grateful for what you already have, 

what makes you think you'd be happy with more?

Don't yearn to be popular; be exquisite. 

Don't desire to be famous; be loved. 

Don't be proud of being expected; 

be palpable, unmistakable.

Hearts can break, but they are very resilient muscles, 

capable of beating for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, 

and barely faltering along the way. 

Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible things, 

can prove extraordinarily difficult to kill.

A smile puts you on the right path. 

A smile makes the world a beautiful place. 

When you lose your smile, 

you lose yourself in the chaos of life.

The mind is a garden; 

your thoughts are the seeds. 

You can grow flowers 

or you can grow weeds.

The best thing about dreams 

is that they don't expire.

They can lie dormant for years, 

and when you recover and dust them off, 

they shine like new.

Let's face it: in the age of social media, 

opinions have become commodities, 

often exchanged without real impact.
