5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Memories, December 19, 2005

I first watched Bing Crosby and David Bowie sing this combination of "Little Drummer Boy" and "Peace on Earth" on a Christmas special in the late 1970s. I was in graduate school at the time and balancing a job, school, and a young family did not leave me a lot of time. My wife and two daughters sat down and watched this special, something my hectic life rarely allowed. I don't remember much about the rest of the Christmas special, but this song has stayed with me. It is a beautiful rendition that helped rescue that Christmas for me, as well as several since that time. I think you will like this duet, and perhaps be moved by it, especially its call for peace on Earth which now more than ever seems to be lacking. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful combination of two great voices in music -- Bing and Bowie. Bing sings the Little Drummer Boy, while Bowie simultaneously sings Peace on Earth -- a mix that truly puts one in the Holiday mood!

In 1998, I watched a Christmas specials featuring clips from the best moments of Christmas shows. The clip showed David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing this song together on one of Bing's Christmas specials. I thought it was the most beautiful version of the Little Drummer ever performed. What a beautiful song from two such diverse singers.
