5.0 out of 5 stars A TRIBUTE TO A CHARMING GUY, May 16, 2001

This review is from: Portrait of (Audio CD)

My grandmother often talked to me about JEAN SABLON because she had attented one of his concert in MONTRÉAL.JEAN was always considered the FRENCH BING CROSBY.Like BING, he had an easy way of singing that seemed effortless.It was a revolution at the time when JEAN used the microphone for the first time.Naturally after him,every singer did it.This double cd is the perfect tribute to the singer who was mostly popular with women.Included here are his versions of two COLE PORTER songs:MISS OTIS REGRETS and BEGIN THE BEGUINE.In fact after the second world war,SABLON was also popular in your country ,probably because the man had class.Listening to JEAN nowadays has become a special nostalgic pleasure, since the world he celebrated with his songs no longer exists.Well it seems that my grandmother had good taste.Didn't she?

This review is from: Portrait of (Audio CD)

This two-disc collection of songs from the 1930s and 1940s by French cabaret singer, Jean Sablon, tosses the listener right into the hey day of Parisian cafe life. Some recordings remind that there was considerable overlap in the popular music of the U.S. and Europe during the earlier part of the 20th Century. The 48 songs in the collection are almost all winners. Evocative and highly enjoyable.
