love the vid as I've never seen it, but I prefer when they accentuate the percussion of the drums. But thanks to all posting these versions I haven't heard before.
RWC, ha! you younguns missed all the really GOOD stuff. I remember seeing this on the original TV show.
David Bowie has the most amazing voice. You wouldn't know that however by listening to his recordings.
He was one of the two out of the many, many, live acts I have seen that really blew me away because of the contrast between his recorded voice and his live voice.
I love this song. It's such an unlikely pairing, but their voices work so well together in it. He was one of the two out of the many, many, live acts I have seen that really blew me away because of the contrast between his recorded voice and his live voice. I was fortunate enough to see Bowie, some 20 or so years ago, but I don't remember any difference in his voice. It was in a big stadium though, so that probably didn't help the situation. I was, however, totally blown away by his show- not just the music, but the whole performance in general.

The other was Cyndi Lauper.
I remember this (it seems almost bizarre!). Nice to take a trip down memory lane, thanks, Fay.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing it on the original show too! It's a wonderful rendition, and brings back happy memories of Christmas past. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember it, too, from the first time it was broadcast.
ReplyDeleteA lovely counterpoint duet.
Thanks again, Fay - you are doing extremely well with the music this year.
You are so welcome Dances, I am glad you are enjoying it.
