Bing Crosby and Bowie do Christmas.

I am so tired of people slagging off That Christmas Duet by Bing and Bowie. The banter beforehand is stupid and it's on a set cheesier than a Stilton factory...

but that is a fucking awesome song. It's beautiful and stirs up something less cynical than usual. They're both bloody good singers and it's really good.

So there.

Here here! Just fast-forward to the singing and close your eyes. The harmonies are PERFECT.

Exactly. NOTHING in the world better than hearing two great singers, male or female, singing so brilliantly together.

And for all his nonsense outfits, Bowie could always SING. Bing describing him as 'a clean-cut sort of boy' is a bit wide of the mark, given that it was just after his 'the devil lives in my swimming pool' phase.
