Catherine Annette Hanshaw was born in New York in 1901. Lovable and Sweet was more than just a song where Annette was concerned. She lived her life that way. Her manager, Herman "Wally" Rose always had the best available talent to accompany Annette~Jack Teagarden, Morton Downey, Miff Mole, Eddie Lang, Joe Venuti, Phil Napolean, Red Nichols, Adrian Rollini, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, ~ the A list of white jazz musicians. In 1929, Annette and Wally were married and remained so until his death in 1954.
She was the personality girl with her familiar "That's All" at the end of most of her recordings. The NY Times called her one of the most prolific recording artists of the 1920s-30s. Although she was elected America's most popular female singer in a nationwide radio poll in the early 1930s, she is all but unknown today. Lovable and Sweet is from the motion picture Street Girl. Recorded August 20, 1929 in New York for the Okeh label.
