This was originally an hour long PBS special broadcast more than 10-15 years ago.   They only posted the first 6 minutes unfortunately.   This has been a regular December recording I've watched each year since it was shown. 

They also show some great scenes of Perry Como's 1969 Christmas Palace show with the beautiful Lennon Sisters singing with him.  Also one of my very favorite Bing scenes from the Hollywood Palace Christmas shows is included in the hour version.   This is the scene where Bing so movingly tells the story of the Little Match Girl while his adorable little daughter listens intently and a ballerina dances the story out in the background.   It actually brings a tear to my eye when I watch it every year.  Just to have a beautiful quality video of this scene was worth the whole program, up until then I had a bootleg of the original show but the quality was not as good as the PBS special's cable signal version.  

The one complaint I'd have is they did not show my other very favorite Bing Hollywood Palace Christmas scene, when he introduces Kate Smith and she sings her wonderful "Christmas Eve In My Hometown".   This song so interested me when I saw the old bootleg tape I went on a quest to find the album it must have been recorded on back in '66 (I assumed, this was all pre-internet days).   I've told this story before but I asked the late Chick Wilson Bing to see if he could find the album in his many visits to used record sales in the country.  He not only found it but he found a CD of it.  I was thrilled when he told me a year after he found it and it sat on a shelf in his house that he had it but had forgotten who it was that asked for it!   So if I hadn't asked him if he was ever able to find that Kate Smith album I might never have been able to buy it.   Thanks Chick, I still listen to it every year.

Thank you very much, Archiefit, for your information about the Hollywood Palace PBS programme. I wasn't aware of this.
