to get the video to work use basic computer knowledgeSaturday, February 05, 2005
First to those who couldn't get the video portion to work, you can't used the old program thats on the cd. You just have to have quicktime installed, then find the mov file and double click on it. Of course it won't play in a dvd player, its not a vcd or a dvd, it's an old school mulimedia cd. I just watched the video. Quality of the video is terrible if you enlarge it so just watch it in the small window. Anyway, enough of my rambling. The one song disc is great. Bowie and Crosby sound great together. This single is a must for Bowie fans. Wish there was more than just one song though.

Great holiday song; doesn't get radio airtime it deserves. Trying to find the score for this arrangement for a church duet. Any help would be appreciated!

need this on dvd singleMonday, January 05, 2004
This cd single featuring Bowie and Bing is an old version from a technology standpoint and needs to be released on upgraded DVD single, but it's priceless as probably the all time best version of any celebrity Christmas song. A reviewer incorrectly stated that this was when Bowie was Ziggy. Obviously way wrong since Ziggy was "killed off" in '73. This recording was in'77; Bowie had done many very successful non-Ziggy projects during the intervening years.

I LOVE this song. It is a family favorite. I am buying copies for my mom and for all my friends as Christmas gifts this year.

What was passed off here?Tuesday, December 09, 2003
This is the second not so nice review I have written.
I remember back in 1977 watching the Bing Crosby special that year. I could not beieve that David Bowie would be invited by Mr. Crosby to appear on the show. These were Mr. Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" days after all. The performance as presented in the audio portion of this CD was, as it was on that night, superb. I like another viewer challenge you to get the video to go as advertised.
I am happy to have the music but I feel more than a bit let down.
