Annette Hanshaw - I Wanna Be Loved By You (1929)

Annette Hanshaw (October 18, 1901 - March 13, 1985) was one of the first great female jazz singers. In the late 1920s she ranked alongside Ethel Waters, Bessie Smith and the Boswell Sisters.

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.

She does not sound to me as Hanshaw. I have to think at Helen Kane.

[edmundusrex]

First time I hear it, I also think at Helen. But it was definitely Annette.

[heinbanjo12]

I believe you, but I believe also my ears. Nice tune and great accompagnement.

[edmundusrex]

Look at (only) Annette's (and not) Helen's 'You wouldn't fool me'.

Sometimes we can't trust ourself.

I had never heard of Annette henshaw until I started listening to this radio program thast played songs from the 20's and early 30s. Since then She has become one of My favorites. Now with YouTube Tou can see and hear just about anyone. There is another singer that noone seems to know anything about who was around at the same time as Annette. Her name is Mildred Hunt and You should listen to Her singing Honey.

Annette Hanshaw did her first "Betty Boop voice" recording in 1927. Helen Kane did not record her first record until 1928. Who was copying whom? Didn't matter-Helen and Annette were good friends in real life in New York. Helen encouraged Annette to make more "baby voice" recordings in '28 saying Annette could do a better Betty Boop,but Annette did them so well, Victor Company-Helen's "employer" to which she was under exclusive contract-sued Helen-thinking she had jumped labels to Columbia.

Oh, but her non-Betty Boop voice was so much better.

House of a Thousand Corpses gave this song a brand new spin. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not...
