Buble & Bing "'White Christmas' Dream Team"
NEW YORK, NY, Dec 03, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Michael Buble will be releasing a new holiday single, "White
Christmas," which includes a special guest performance by Bing Crosby
and will be available worldwide December 10th and 11th on iTunes, it
was announced today by his label, "Reprise Records." The Canadian
star, who has long idolized Crosby, joined up with the late crooner
for a very special performance courtesy of computer magic on his
upcoming NBC TV Special "Michael Buble - Home for the Holidays" which
is scheduled to air on NBC on December 10th at 10:00 pm following
"The Voice." Crosby's performance took place December 14, 1971 as
part of the "Bing Crosby & Sounds of Christmas TV Special. A brief
snippet of the performance is attached: http://youtu.be/6PGv6LF9aTg
"I have worshipped Bing Crosby since I was 6 years old. My family
plays Bing's 'White Christmas' all year around. It's really an honor
to sing this beautiful song with him," commented Buble.
The Irving Berlin classic "White Christmas" was originally performed
by Bing Crosby on his Kraft Music Hall radio program on Christmas
Day, 1941. It was officially recorded for Decca Records in May 1942
and re-recorded in 1947. Soon the recording reached iconic status and
went on to become the best selling record of all time. Michael Buble
recorded the song last year as part of his extraordinarily successful
Christmas album which was the second best selling album of 2012
(following Adele). Four different Buble holiday songs from that
record were played simultaneously on the radio last year. This year,
the album is already Top Ten on iTunes in several countries including
the US.
Other guests on Buble's upcoming NBC Special include Rod Stewart,
Blake Shelton, Carly Rae Jepsen and Elmo.
Buble is scheduled to appear on The Today Show and Jimmy Fallon on
December 3rd and will have a new studio album next year.
