D is for Dem Bones

Dem Bones (also called Dry Bones and Dem Dry Bones) is a spiritual song, penned by James Weldon Johnson and his brother, J Rosomond Johnson. The lyrics are based on Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the prophet visits the Valley of Dry Bones and causes them to become alive.

The version of the song by The Four Lads was featured prominently in 'Fall Out', the final episode of the science fiction classic series, The Prisoner.
