Popular Culture[edit]

Should the usage of the Delty Rhythm Boys Version of this song in the film "Rain Man" be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.76.209.85 (talk) 19:25, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you think so, then go ahead and add it. Be Bold!LogicalFinance33 (talk) 18:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics[edit]

is it (or is it going to be) wikipedia policy to include the entire lyrics to songs? if so, this one's easy to fill in ... 71.191.126.175 (talk) 04:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, policy is generally not to include lyrics in their entirety. Full text should only be placed on Wikisource, and then a link placed in the appropriate article. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 05:00, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Artist Recordings[edit]

Should Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians also be listed in this article as they also have a very good recording of this piece and were, at their time, a prominent group? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tubajoe0 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are mentioned in the next section, citing the film their version was used in. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 18:16, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Children's song[edit]

The melody of this song is used in the classic children's song 'Alice the Camel', including the French language version 'Alice le chameau.' Grandma Roses (talk) 17:42, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article fundamentally incorrect?[edit]

The article opens with "not to be confused with 'Dry Bones', a similar folk song.

It then continues to credit Basom Lamar Lunsford (with a misspelled first name) for the first recorded version of the song. But in trying to confirm this, I found a copy of said recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLAavP5DPeU And it's not the same song! It's actually "Dry Bones," which is the song at the top was said "not to be confused with." What a mess. I do not know the right answer, but this sure seems to be misinformation. And unfortunately Wikipedia is one of the few sources online, so the bad info is spreading. MarcoEsc (talk) 01:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Some IP address changed it in 2015; I've reverted it. I don't know if the prior information is correct, though. Joule36e5 (talk) 06:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Spiritual" = "song"[edit]

I removed the word "song" from the first line as redundant. All spirituals are songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.176.249 (talk) 22:43, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
