Who originally wrote 'Caravan'?

Hi all,
I know Gordon Jenkins did this version, but I heard it's a remake? Who did the first one? Also...anyone know if there's a good genre you could put this one under? That sorta music is great but I don't know where to look for more.

Have you tried 60s Lounge or Ultra Lounge? I love that era as well. Perhaps Easy Listening/Standards would help? Great music to vomit by from Brenda Lee, no?

"Caravan" was written by Duke Ellington. Here's a link for you:

The genre "Caravan" would be under is jazz. It was written and performed by Duke Ellington many years ago. A lot of artists have recorded it including Billy Eckstine (with lyrics). In the 1950's in North Jersey, there was a disc jockey named Bill Cook who had a program "Cooky's Caravan" where the song was his theme song.
