Title: Is there a Bono and Frank Sinatra Christmas song????
Post by: foodom on December 03, 2004, 11:27:58 PM

I seem to remember a christmas song that Bono and Frank did as a duet on some christmas complilation.  I truely think i heard this song but it was some years back when i was a kid and didn't think to remember such things.  I've been searching music stores and the net to find the song but haven't come across anything.  I figure if anyone would know of this song then you guys would.  Thanks and seasons greetings.

Nah, no Bono/Sinatra Christmas song.

Bono did do a duet with Frank Sinatra, but it's for "I've Got You Under My Skin".

See:
http://www.u2wanderer.org/disco/sing034.html - the song is found there, and also on the Sinatra "Duets" album.

The only pop-star / classic-singer duet for Christmas that I am familiar with is David Bowie and Bing Crosby teaming up for "Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy".

A great little summary of that pairing can be found here:

thanks rob, but too bad, i really thought i'd heard this song.  Maybe i ate too many candy canes.  Though a song like that would have been very cool.


...happy birthday frank...  ; )
