David Bowie and Bing Crosby's Peace on EarthLittle Drummer Boy - which was filmed on Sept. 11, 1977, for Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas special - remains one of the most absurd but charming TV duets of all time. The odd couple huddle around a piano in a lavish home decorated for the holidays, singing a collaboration comprised of an original song, Peace on Earth, grafted onto the classic Little Drummer Boy. Strings swell in the background of the hushed arrangement, which is highlighted by braided harmonies, counter melodies that pirouette gracefu. Bowie had reservations about singing Little Drummer Boy, so Ian Fraser, songwriter Larry Grossman, and show scriptwriter Buz Kohan set about arranging the Katherine K. Davis song Peace on Earth as a counterpoint for Bowie to sing as a duet with Crosby. Bowie & Crosby recorded it together at Elstree Studios on 11 September 1977. Sadly, Crosby died shortly before the show was aired. RCA issued the recording as an official single in 1982, complete with the dialogue and supported by a 12 release.
