On November 30, 1977, shortly after Bing Crosby died, his "Bing Crosby's 42nd Annual Christmas Special" aired. In one segment, Crosby and David Bowie sing Little Drummer Boy. Before the song they discuss music and musicians:

David Bowie: Do you eh... do you like modern music?

Bing Crosby: Oh, I think it's marvellous! Some of it's really fine. But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?

DB: Oh yeah, sure. I like ah... John Lennon and the other one with ... eh... Harry Nilsson.

BC: Mmm... you go back that far, uh?

DB: Yeah, I'm not as young as I look.

The segment was filmed September 11, 1977. The segment is included on the Bing Crosby Christmas DVD (available from Amazon.com). An enhanced CD which includes an audio track of Bowie and Crosby singing "Little Drummer Boy" plus a video (playable on your PC) of the duo performing "Little Drummer Boy" is also available from Amazon.com.
