What a great artist. I could listen to her all day long. No one like her. I wonder what one person could have found what not to like in a voice such as hers.
I must say she sounds ok here, but she does sing off key in many recordings. She hasn't got the same character as Ruth Etting either. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
I agree with her sounding like a Martian in this transfer (not her fault). I love the scratches and surface noise. It's a sin to over EQ just cos one has got the nobs to tweek.
@thehificlub Annette had far more swing and jazz feeling than Ruth Etting. Her recordings particularly the up tempo songs still found fresh in a way that Etting's records now sound. A example of Hanshaw's swing is Who's that knocking at my door which can be heard on youtube. Like Bing Crosby Hanshaw was a white singer who could swing. Etting sang in an older style.
Lovely Annette Hanshaw - so sad she retired from recording in 1935, yet lived a further 50 years. What wonderful music might she have gone on to leave us?
Never heard this awful story - she must have been terrified - wonder if Ruth knew. I suppose it was too late for Annette to resume her career after 1937 when Snyder and Etting divorced and he went to jail in 1938.
@doctorkazoo When Hanshaw records started outselling Ruth Etting's, Ruth's husband Martin 'Moe The Gimp' Snyder, a Chicago mobster, threatened Hanshaw's life. She retired at once and thereafter led an entirely domesticated life with her husband. See earlier comments.
@fatsfan70 Thanks! Now I wish I hadn't asked you though. That is just awful and 70 some odd years later I'm pi**ed off about it! I wish I could confirm this information somewhere. I don't always trust Wikipedia though...but they don't even mention this anyway. I'll have to dig around. I didn't see it in the comment history here. I don't think my computer loads them all. OK, thanks again!
What a contrast to the music of today!A real text,a REAL voice and what a voice.There is such a thing as degenerate art and we are living with it nowadays.Thanks to Edmundus
In all my years of Record Collecting from this era, this is the first time I have heard the Annette Hanshw version of this. I have the Geo. Olsen recording on Victor. This is scarce at best. Beautiful interpretation...
O: did she really end up like that? thats sad, she was such a good singer :l

Great recording. I agree with Squarerig. What we call music today, is anything but. THIS recording is REAL music.

The Vibraphone adds a lot to the arrangement.

I just can't stop listening her. She offers an idea about what music should be. Teach them grandma
