Pure Imagination & White Christmas [Blenders / Gene Wilder & Irving Berlin] 12 DAYS OF COVERS

From the Vault … December 18, 2010

"Pure Imagination" was sung in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by Gene Wilder. A Jewish Irving Berlin penned “White Christmas” for Bing Crosby only to have it become the number one selling single of all time. Here acapella group the Blenders … uh … blend the two into what is easily my favorite Christmas Cover.

Little Drummer Boy [12 Days of Covers / Cover to Cover]

One of the most bizarre juxtapositions in holiday music history, perhaps in modern music history was in 1977, when David Bowie paid a visit to Bing Crosby on his Christmas special.

While a "Traditional" song, using the same arrangement Will Farrell and John C. Riley took a stab at it this year. Making this two covers for the price of one!
