This Day in Rock History - Nov. 30th

1977: David Bowie appears on what turns out to be Bing Crosby’s last televised Christmas special. The two sing a duet that blends “Little Drummer Boy” with “Peace on Earth.” “Little Drummer Boy” was written in 1941. “Peace on Earth” was written especially for the TV show when Bowie balked at singing “Drummer Boy.”

The duet was forgotten until radio stations started playing a copy ripped from a video recording of the show in the early 80’s. Today, it has become a holiday favorite.
