-BING CROSBY AND DAVID BOWIE THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
(The story behind this unlikely duet is that the producers of the
1977 Bing Crosby Christmas T.V Special asked Bowie to sing "The
Little Drummer Boy" with Bing but that David didn't like the
song.
Crosby was touring Britain, not far from where Bowie lived in
London. The T.V Show also featured Bowie's then new single and
video, Heroes. The creative team of Fraser, Kohan and Grossman
composed a new song "Peace On Earth" in about 75 minutes, wove
it into a duet with "Little Drummer" and Cosby and Bowie nailed
in rehearsal in under an hour. RCA issued it as a single in 1982.
It's since become it's only Chrissy chestnut....
