White Christmas
~ Recording by Bing Crosby
Annotation
Bing Crosby re-recorded White Christmas on March 19, 1947, accompanied again by the Trotter Orchestra and the Darby Singers, with every effort made to reproduce the original recording session The re-recording is recognizable by the addition of flutes and celesta in the beginning.
