Christmas song Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy
My favorite Christmas song is ‘Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy’ by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
I first heard this song while watching an old Bing Crosby Christmas Special. It happened to be his last one. It was recorded in September 1977, Mr. Crosby passed away a month later.
The show was prod cast that December. After hearing the song the first time it played over and over again in my head. I’m not sure what it is that makes me love this song so much. Perhaps its the two wonderful artists that sang it.
Or maybe its the amazing harmony of putting ‘Peace On Earth’ and ‘Little Drummer Boy’ together the way that David Bowie and Bing Crosby did. No matter what it is, every Christmas season since I first heard it I always looked forward to hearing it on the radio.
I finally found it on a Christmas compilation CD at Coach House Gifts a couple years ago. Now I listen to it when ever I want, whether it be the holiday season or a hot summer day.
After all, this is not just a Christmas song, it is a song for any time. Here are the lyrics Little Drummer Boy.
