Think what you will of David Bowie,this pairing and the adherence to how the song is performed was a big deal at the time for those of us who were not brought up with Bing Crosby. I see it as a bridge and a compliment to Mr. Crosby and his style and grace.

I just heard the story of the recording on SirriusXM. Bowie hated that song but that is what Bing wanted to record with him.

Bowie asked that it be changed up to fit him better and the show staff wrote the new chorus. And the show staff rewrote the song completely in three days.

Bing and Bowie recorded it in one take.

This recording was made in the summer of 1977. Mr. Crosby passed away before it aired during the Christmas season.

Difficult to believe today, but somebody back then thought this was a good idea and gave it the green light. LOL
