Could 2019 be the year the UK finally sees a White Christmas? A new version of the Bing Crosby’s yuletide classic is being released this year – and is throwing its Santa hat in the ring as an early contender for the Official Christmas Number 1. The re-worked version of the song, featuring Bing’s original vocals backed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
The album being released via Decca records by widow Kathryn and their children, Harry, Mary and Nathaniel. Other newly-arranged songs on the collection include Winter Wonderland, It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, The Christmas Song and Little Drummer Boy, a collaboration with David Bowie recorded in September 1977, a month before Bing died.
Kathryn said of the record: “Hearing Bing’s voice with these completely new, beautifully recorded, orchestral accompaniments makes it seem as though he’s back after all these years. It’s magic.”
