Song of the Day: Van Morrison “Caravan”

Hardly a wedding reception goes by without me playing at least one song by Van Morrison. The Irish singer’s catalog is so deep and so soulful that I just can’t help it. Morrison’s music has held up well and is loved by old and young alike.
Some of my favorite songs by Van are “Moondance,” “Into the Mystic,” “Jackie Wilson Said,” “Sweet Thing,” and the one featured here “Caravan” (this not the same “Caravan” as the one made famous by Duke Ellington).

I had a hard time picking between these two cracking live versions. One is from London in 1973 and the other from San Francisco three years later (and from the movie “The Last Waltz”). Turn up your radio!!!
