Bing Crosby and David Bowie Christmas Duo

Bing Crosby was a crooner that became popular in the 1930's and one of the biggest box office draws of at the movies in the 1940's with his best-known film being "White Christmas" in 1954 which is still shown at Christmas time on television to this day.

This makes it all the more odd to see him on a Christmas special back in the 1970's in the above clip with then glam/punk/new-waver David Bowie singing a duet together, but Bowie toned down his look from crazy hair and psychedelic jumpsuit and makeup and they actually look and sound good together.
