Annette Hanshaw – He's The Last Word

Biography
Her singing style was relaxed and suited the new jazz-influenced pop music of the late 1920s. Although she had a low opinion of her own singing, she continues to have fans because of how she combined the voice of an ingenue with the spirit of a flapper.
Hanshaw made her one and only appearance on film[1] in the 1933 Paramount short Captain Henry’s Radio Show, “a picturization” of the popular Thursday evening radio program Maxwell House Show Boat, in which she starred from 1932 to 1934.
Having grown tired of show business, in the late 1930s Hanshaw retired and settled into married life with her husband, Pathé Records executive Herman “Wally” Rose. Later in life, in a would-be comeback, she recorded two demo records, but they were never released.
Birthdate
For many years it was believed that Annette had been born in 1910 and began her recording career shortly before her 16th birthday. However, it has recently come to light that she was in fact born nine years earlier, making her 24 at the time of her first commercial recording in September 1926. Her nephew, Frank W. Hanshaw III, has confirmed 1901 as the date on her birth certificate.

I first heard her on Pandora Radio. I too am surprised she isn't as big or well known as she should be. Very beautiful voice!

Absolutely amazing collection of songs she got. With her, I discover a new era of music that begs to be played more. She will climb my charts real fast.
