bing & david 4 eva
once again it's that time of year to wonder what the heck brought david bowie and bing crosby together in 1977 to sing the little drummer boy/peace on earth duet. the singing itself is fine, but the awkward scripted banter before the singing starts is the absolute worst. bing crosby did die only a month after the recording, so maybe that explains things. probably not.

I've often thought this record sounded as if they recorded it at different studios, each mailing his vocal parts to the other for completion. Now that I think about it, I'm convinced Bing recorded his parts many months after he died. That's the only way I can make sense of such an improbable duet.
