Un Adieu Historique : Crosby & Bowie
C’est un moment de grâce suspendu au temps. En septembre 1977, Bing Crosby et David Bowie enregistrent le légendaire duo « Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy ».
Le contraste est saisissant, mais l’émotion est surtout historique : seulement 33 jours après ce tournage, Bing Crosby s’éteignait, faisant de cette vidéo l’un de ses derniers cadeaux au public. Un passage de flambeau inoubliable entre deux icônes de la musique.

A Historic Farewell: Crosby & Bowie
It is a moment of grace frozen in time. In September 1977, Bing Crosby and David Bowie recorded their legendary duet, « Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy. »
While the contrast between them is striking, the historical weight of the moment is even more profound: just 33 days after filming, Bing Crosby passed away, making this video one of his final gifts to the world. An unforgettable passing of the torch between two musical icons.
