it was " the little drummer boy/ peace on earth " and was beatiful, what do you all think.

That song has been around since the late 70's. They sing really well together.

I think it was from when Bowie was on Bing's Christmas special at some point in the early 70's.

I remember wanting to stay up and watch that Christmas special when it was on, I had never seen Bowie and was really surprised. Bing introduced him as a next door neighbor...still love it.

I've always liked that song. Two people with such vastly different musical styles coming together like that and making a very memorable song. I really like at the end where Bing says, "It's a pretty thing, isn't it?" A Christmas Classic.

Nice song. I think Bing Crosby died a short time after that recording.

I saw it last year on a PBS special. It was the last recording for Bing before he died. He didn't even know who Bowie was. And yes, it was beautiful.

I haven't heard it, but Bowie is my fave singer. I loved it when he and Jagger and Tina Turner sang together for the live aid thing (or was that farm aid?) back in the 80's

I have always loved their version of these songs. I thought they did an amazing job. Who would have thought a crooner and Ziggy Stardust could make such great music together.

They acutally used to play that video on MTV a long time ago. I loved it. Their duet is really pretty.
