Sablon, who as the French under the name "Le Bing" Bing Crosby was, interpreted among other compositions by Mireille Hartuch and joined in concert halls such as the Olympia in Paris.

One of his best-known works is the interpretation of the song J'attendrai (German I'll wait , text: Louis Poterat 1939; original [Italian] music: Dino Olivieri, text: Nino Rastelli)
