Today’s Holiday Tune: The unique pairing of David Bowie and Bing Crosby on “Little Drummer Boy”
David Bowie, who was 30 at the time, and Bing Crosby, then 73, recorded this Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy duet on Sept. 11, 1977, for Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas TV special.
A month later, Crosby was dead of a heart attack. The special was broadcast on CBS about a month after his death and their memorable duet has lived on ever since.

This year, David Bowie is now the same age as Bing was when they recorded this awesome classic.
