White Christmas (live 3rd Annual Christmas Special) - Michael Bublé - MP3 instrumental karaoke

One of the all-time classics in the holiday canon, "White Christmas" was originally written by legendary composer Irving Berlin for the musical film Holiday Inn in 1942. The song was met with critical acclaim almost instantly, winning an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 15th Academy Awards later that year. It is said that Irving Berlin held the song in high regard, often calling it "the best song he's ever written." In the years that followed, "White Christmas" was further popularized by Bing Crosby, whose rendition spent eleven consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard charts and sold over 50 million copies worldwide, spawning several re-recordings. The song's iconic status would draw the attention of Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, who included it in his seventh studio album, simply titled Christmas (2011), and in his Live 3rd Annual Christmas Special in 2013. The recorded version of the song featured fellow Canadian singer Shania Twain and proved to be a smash success, breaking into the Top 5 of the Adult Contemporary and Holiday Digital Song Sales charts.
