Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy.

Little Drummer Boy was written in 1957, but the "Peace on Earth" lyrics were written specifically for Bowie's counterpoint. Their rendition was performed on September 11th 1977 for Crosby's television special, "Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas" only an hour after rehearsal.

The show aired on November 30th of that year, but Bing had already passed away on October 14th.

The reason for the creation of Bowie's "Peace on Earth" lyrics was allegedly a result of Bowie proclaiming "I hate this song [Little Drummer boy]. Is there something else I could sing?"

What year did Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly make The Country Girl?

The drama Country Girl with Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly was released in 1954. It won an Academy Award for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, as well as a controversial Best Actress award for Grace Kelly, in a role that went against her usual glamorous ones. The award was controversial because most people assumed that Judy Garland was a surefire Best Actress winner for A Star Is Born--so much so that NBC cameramen were in her hospital room, where she had just given birth to her son, so that she could give a speech when she won.

What is the general managers email?

A couple of Pit./NYR games, the coach bent over to speak to Crosby, before he could finish Crosby turned his head and snapped at the coach in a disrespectful manner. I'm an 84 yr. horseman and set world records with my horses by reading their movements. Crosby should have never treated his coach in that manner even if they were alone! Not only must the Penns get another coach but Crosby must be removed as captain or fined and reprimanded for his attitude. That is very destructive to a team. I immediately bet some friends the team would not beat the Rangers! There is poison in the dressing room caused by Crosby! It will take a stern coach to handle Crosby

How did Jim Bowie contribute to the Battle of the Alamo?

The knife Jim Bowie carried has been lost to history. We can deduce from available information what the knife probably looked like but we will never know for certain what happened to the knife he carried. Jim Bowie apparently died in his room and this makes it likely that the knife was picked up by some one whose name has been lost to history. The knife was of good quality so it would not likely been thrown away.
