Classic Performance Of ‘White Christmas’ From Bing Crosby - More Music

Hollywood legend Bing Crosby turned in an unassuming but memorable performance of his most beloved and recognizable song, the classic “White Christmas.”

Christmas is a season filled with tradition. Often, those annual activities include purchasing gifts, decorating the tree and placing seemingly endless strands of lights on the exterior of the house. Also, viewing a lineup of favorite holiday-themed films and listening to classic Christmas tunes are other tasks many participate in leading up to Christmas Day.

Everyone has a favorite Christmas movie and holiday song they insist on viewing and listening to in the days and weeks before the much-anticipated holiday. While the Christmas favorites will vary, generally, “White Christmas” will always be a popular answer for both film and song. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Bing Crosby, who also starred in the 1954 classic film of the same name, sings “White Christmas.” As part of “The Bing Crosby Show,” the legendary singer and actor walks toward the camera as he belts the lyrics to the classic and beloved track.

Because it’s always a popular tune during the Christmas season, most people likely can sing the song entirely from memory. While watching the clip, many will probably find themselves singing along with Bing. 

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow”

The beautifully written lyrics, upon hearing the song’s opening words, immediately evoke a feeling of nostalgia. The memories of Christmases past flood the mind, essentially creating an impossible desire to turn back the clock and enjoy those times once more. 

Over the years, many talented musicians have released recordings of themselves singing “White Christmas.” But it’s safe to say that no one will ever top the beauty and the simplicity of Bing Crosby’s version. His is a classic for a reason, and it will, no doubt, be heard continuously for many more Christmas seasons.
