Bing Crosby: The Voice of Christmas Two tracks are previously unreleased songs: an alternate version of his original May 29, 1942 recording of "White Christmas"; and a February 21, 1935 recording of "Silent Night." The 1935 version of "Silent Night" was not released due to Crosby's feelings that a popular entertainer should not profit on such a religion-based song; however, once the proceeds were arranged to be donated to charity, a second recording of the song was released as a single in 1935 and was later packaged as part of a 1940 album.
