At the time of this recording, Bowie was in his Berlin period. Having left the glam era behind, he was experimenting with Brian Eno and atmospheric music. This recording (Sept. 11 1977) was one of the last things Bing Crosby did - he died of a heart attack a month after this; the show was aired a month later. In the same year, 1977, Bowie also recorded Peter and the Wolf (beautifully done as well), most specially for his young son, Duncan. Always a consummate artist, he continued to experiment with blurring gender lines, new musical language and cinema via feature films as well as music videos. His duet with Bing Crosby, like much of his work, remains a classic.
