Crosby is definitely the master on this song. But Dean Martin's version is wonderful too, IMO.
BTW, that "special something" in Crosby's voice -- that "break" that we sometimes here -- may well have been vocal-cord nodules or something similar.
Crosby, of course, did pave the way for the Era of Crooners. A wonderful time -- and certainly not with the problems we have in the world today.

Merry Christmas, Will!
And thanks for being a friend to Mr. AOW. He doesn't have the knack of blogging yet. He's just entering the world of the Internet and gets distracted by so many things, not the least of which is YouTube. LOL.
Thank you AOW, Yes when you say Christmas to me it means the Christmas tree and the food.:) But when you say 'White Christmas' to me it means the movie 'white christmas' with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, it's just the 'connection' of seing it during your childhood year after year on TV, it's just 'engraved' in your memory. I'm glad i can be a friend to Mr. AOW i admire you both greatly for your strenght and trust in God, you represent the best of America.As they say with you "The Salt of the Earth". Will.
