'But the children of Israel would not bow down. Couldn't fool them with a golden idol'
Noble, devoted Jews who were thrown into the fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar II, (at least according to the Old Testament book of Daniel) for refusing to abandon their faith during the Babylonian occupation of Israel and their captivity in Babylon itself. The Good Lord intervened as documented by Louis here. A strong memory from my childhood as my father is an abiding Louis fan and a God-fearing man. From Louis' 1962 album Louis & the Good Book where he also name-checks Ezekiel, Moses and Jonah.
