Many thanks to him for drumming up an open duet of it.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" </strong>is a Christmas song performed by English singer-songwriter David Bowie and American singer Bing Crosby, recorded on 11 September 1977 London for Crosby's television special Bing Crosby's <em>Merrie Olde Christmas</em>. The song features Crosby singing 1941 standard "The Little Drummer Boy" while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune "Peace on Earth", written specifically for the collaboration. The duet was one of Crosby's final recordings before his death in October 1977.</p><p><br></p><p>It was Crosby's final popular hit and became one of the best-selling singles of Bowie's career as well as a Christmas classic in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom and has been referred to by The Washington Post as "one of the most successful duets in Christmas music history". </p>
