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 (stock character)|ingenue with the spirit of a flapper.
Hanshaw made her one and only appearance on film<ref>[http://www.jazzage1920s.com/annettehanshaw/annettehanshaw.php Film clip.] Accessed January 30, 2007</ref> 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.
Hanshaw was known as "The Personality Girl," and her trademark was saying "That's all" in a childish voice at the end of many of her records. <ref>[http://www.redhotjazz.com/hanshaw.html Annette Hanshaw at the Red Hot Jazz Archive]</ref>
