This year I bumped into this background story to the song. Thank you to Mr. Bowie enough to follow through and sing it. It is a classic and I would love to own it on CD as well as so many other people I know. Bowie and Mr. Crosby you have brought this Mother great joy for having performed this song, it simply brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I was thrilled when my son created a piano jazz arrangement for this. He must have been listening as a child! Thanks to the people who redid the song and to those 2 great iconic entertainers for being the true professionals and bringing the song to life.
Truly a classic that has and will span the decades. I hear it and tear up not only because it is a great message, but done by those men who are no longer here with us. We all are still blessed by what they did for humanity and the beautiful music that we still get to experience. My glass is up to you gentlemen and to say Thanks. I was 10 when this song came out. It has been a fixture around the holidays for me for over 40 years.
Every time I hear it for the first time of the season, it takes me back to my youth, with Christmas at my grandparents house, large family meals and great fun. Amazing, idyllic memories.
