In the spirit of Christmas, I would like to offer a rare, but absolutely truly amazingly beautiful rendition of a classic Christmas song - performed in 1977, with at that time, two (2) artists - who were diametrically opposed opposites, that almost did not happen (you can read about all of that here: Back Story) due to the unacceptance of "being different" and then the hasty re-write of the song to suit one of the performers - but they came together to create this beautiful duet.
So, again, in the spirit of Christmas, I present Bing Crosby and David Bowie, singing "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy"
This was also Bing's last recorded performance; he passed away 1 month after this was recorded. I hope you enjoy this! (The clip starts with some unusual banter between Bing and David, eventually going into their duet.)
