Details
[Edit]Among the numerous Bing Crosby holiday compilations available, Christmas Classics may be the most diverse and unusual in its selection choices. Rather than sticking to the crooner’s works from the '40s and early ‘50s, the album includes tracks from the following two decades as well. The setlist kicks off with a gorgeous string-draped rendition of “White Christmas” taken from a 1957 Frank Sinatra holiday TV special. All sides of Crosby’s Yuletide catalog are represented, from whimsical (and swinging) numbers like “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” to classic holiday pop fare like “Do You Hear What I Hear” and stirring nativity songs like “O Holy Night” and the medley “Pat-A-Pan/While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night.” Not to be missed is “The Littlest Angel,” one of Bing’s quintessential (and often-overlooked) '50s-era Christmas recordings. Crosby’s surprising and unexpectedly lovely duet with David Bowie on “Little Drummer Boy” (taken from a 1977 Christmas TV special recorded not long before Crosby's death) closes the album on an exalted note.
