An Unusual Christmas Duet

Yesterday I posted my entry for the most unusual duet and a friend then reminded me of another.

For a Christmas television special aired 45 years ago two singers, famous to different generations, collaborated on a rendition of Little Drummer Boy overlayed by another song entitled Peace on Earth. I think this second song may have been written for this duet, but I am not sure.

The two artists were Bing Crosby age 74 and David Bowie age 30.

Sadly Crosby died about a month after this was recorded and a month before the Christmas special aired.

Let me know your thoughts and if you know of any other unusual duets.
