How Bowie and Bing Made Christmas Magic
How did these 2 artists from 2 different worlds come together to sing 2 different songs at the same time? By 1977 David Bowie, at 30 years of age, had already released Space Oddity , Changes , Fame and Suffragette City to name a few and was leading the Glam Rock scene. Bing on the other hand was 73 and had been a recording artist for 8 years before David was born!
By September of 1977 Bowie was asked to be a guest on the Bing Crosby TV special, Bing Crosby s Merrie Olde Christmas . David agreed to do the show to promote his latest single Heroes , which he performed on the show as well, and because his mom really liked Bing.
