At this moment the recording industry recognized him and made him one of ots first stars in the company of MIREILLE. The microphone revolutionized the music industry, and Jean SABLON pioneered the subtleties of it use. Jean introduced jazz into French song. He was the first to introduce Django REINHARDT, and he also helped bring to the public the original style of Stephane GRAPPELLI. Jean was soon called overseas where he became an American radio. His voice was heard by 50 million listeners twice each week. Bing CROSBY owned all of his records, and Frank SINATRA compared himself to SABLON in interviews and other publicity. Jean moved to Hollywood where his close friends included Ginger ROGERS, Cary GRANT, and Marlène DIETRICH. Price: $22.98 |
