No one is a prophet in his own country" , it is said. The career of Jean Sablon , the great French crooner , is a fine example of this. His beginnings in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s were marked by a resolutely modern repertoire, a pronounced taste for lively rhythms and frequent association with jazz musicians.
