Check Wikipedia. The song was originally written and performed by Solomon Linda in 1939 and covered by The Kingston Trio in 1959, but the popular version you're probably familiar with was performed by The Tokens in 1961 -- that's the version that hit Billboard's Top 100.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" began as a 1939 African popular music hit "Mbube" that, in modified versions, also became a hit in the US and UK.
