The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook
Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby is the father of the Christmas album. He sired the whole shooting match in 1942 when he recorded Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas“ for the Decca soundtrack of Holiday Inn, and the season has never been the same since. “White Christmas“ isn’t just Crosby’s signature tune, it’s also that of Christmas, selling millions around the world and inspiring countless recording artists to create their own holiday versions every year. This long overdue two-disc package features the original recording of “White Christmas“ (often replaced by a later version on reissues) as well as all the seasonal songs Crosby cut over three decades. And with extensive liner notes and guest artists such as the Andrews Sisters, The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook is a slam-dunk gift buy for the whole family.
