Bing Crosby Television Specials: Volume Two, The Christmas Specials DVD
Bing Crosby and Christmas – they’re synonymous. It was only natural for the voice that sold more than 100 million copies of “White Christmas” – and the star of such film classics as Holiday Inn and White Christmas – to celebrate the season on television. Bing Crosby: The Television Specials, Volume Two showcases those beloved Christmas shows. Included in this premiere, two-disc collection are Bing’s first holiday special, produced in England in 1961; his first color special from 1962 with Mary Martin; Bing Crosby and the Sounds of Christmas with Robert Goulet and Mary Costa from 1971; and Bing’s final special, Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas, which includes the iconic duet of “The Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth” with David Bowie. These treasured programs have been meticulously restored from the original film and videotape sources and are presented with all original performances intact.
