Our Finest Gifts We Bring

I hope you are well into your Christmas shopping, or perhaps even finished! Regardless of where you are in your busy holiday season, feel free to take a few minutes and relax and enjoy today's Christmas video. Even though this was pre-1980's by a few years, it's still a holiday classic, and I still enjoy it. David Bowie drops in on Bing Crosby and the two do a little duet shortly before Bing passed away. Here are the two legendary performers in the Christmas spirit with "The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth"...




Lyrics | David Bowie lyrics - Peace On Earth - Little Drummer Boy lyrics

Come, They Told Me

Even though this was shot for Bing's 1977 television special, the single of the song was released in 1982 making it a partial 80's Christmas hit... it was rumored that David Bowie hated the "Little Drummer Boy" and did not want to sing it, and that's why he ended up singing the "Peace On Earth" portion of this duet... so, here is "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy" by Bing Crosby and David Bowie...
