This is my favorite Christmas song, sung by Judy Garland, lovely and sad and with a throb of heartbreak in her voice. (She knew from heartbreak.) 

From Meet Me in St. Louis  (Vincente Minnelli, 1944)

David Bowie on Soul Train, aired November 4, 1975, where he performed “Golden Years” and “Fame,” Andrew Kent photos.

(Note: you’ll see people on the net proclaim David as the first white performer on Soul Train. Nope. Some say Elton John, or Gino Vanelli, both of whom were also in 1974. But the first was Dennis Coffey, in 1971. Bowie’s was the appearance that changed my life, though, which is a story for another day…)
