Have enjoyed Bing Crosby's Christmas music from 75rpm albums to CDs! The last song with David Bowie was an added bonus!! beautiful music!!
 Nice traditioal Christmas music December 9, 2007
This CD has many of the old Christmas standards in very traditional arrangements. It is a fine collection for a Bing Crosby fan.
CHRISTMAS IS BING CROSBY September 23, 2007
THIS IS ONE OF MANY CHRISTMAS CDS BY THE MASTER. IF YOU LISTEN TO DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR AND DONT GET THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD STANDING UP OR YOUR HEART JUST STOPS FOR A FEW MINUTES OR MAYBE A TEAR OR TWO YOUR DEAD. TRY AND SEE A CLIP FROM A 1950S BOB HOPE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL WHERE BING SANG THIS SONG . IT WAS ONE OF VERY FEW RARE TVS GREATEST MOMENTS. AS JOHN WAYNE ONCE NARRATED A SONG ALBUM SAYING CHRISTMAS IS BING CROSBY.
Favorite Bing Crosby carols January 9, 2007
I searched all over for a recording of Bing and David Bowie's Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth. Not only does this recording have it, it's also packed with lots of other wonderful traditional carols.
Bing's Christmas from the 60s and 70s like we remember him November 10, 2006

A very nice collection, with almost all the songs in stereo, less the two TV soundtrack selections and Rudolph. To me, the most amazing track is the heartwarming (some call it syrupy) track "The Littlest Angel" - in this song Bing is in fine voice and the recording is crystal clear without a lot of audio processing like you get nowadays. Do You Hear What I Hear? is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century, and Bing had the first and by far the best version of this song, here in all it's glory. Some of the two song carols are poorly arranged and feature too much choir and not enough Bing, but his solo tracks are quite good, in stereo and sound wonderful for a guy in his sixties and seventies. I'm still amazed that no other performer, David Bowie included, has ever recorded the duet "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy" other than Bing & Bowie. It breaks my heart that Bing passed-away shortly after recording this great song, before he and David Bowie could go into a recording studio with an orchestra and make a high-quality stereo recording; but, for a 1977 TV soundtrack, the audio is quite good and captures the moment forever. Bing's baritone - a great part of Christmas. I enjoy this "album" and a release by Polydor/Polygram of Bing's 70's Christmas songs, as my two Crosby Christmas favorites. The only song missing here is a song Bing recorded for United Artists records, "When A Child Is Born". I highly suggest Bing's Christmas Classics if you were a fan of Bing's TV Christmas specials - I think that you'll enjoy it. Merry Christmas everyone.
