Caravan (the song)

I like the traditional arrangement of it, Big Band Style, 2 that stand out for me are,  the Erich Kunzel conducted Big Band Hit Parade with Doc Severinson, Telarc label, and the Duke at Tanglewood version with the boston pops, it's completely over the top, I love it, also A quartet version by Joe Newman with Oliver Nelson on Alto is very good.

 I did again.........."foot in mouth"

Done to death ..........but there is one tune that I never want to hear another version of, even more so, That is  "Guantanamera". I am so over that one as well.

I voted yes, as much as I used to love that tune, going through piles of exotica and easy listening records I've picked up at thrift stores finally wore me out. Don't even mention 'Fly me to the Moon'. By the way, I'm going to fine tune your title, there's a lot of confused rock fans wandering around here.

Right! But this composition is classic.
