"Basin Street is the street
Where the best folks always meet
In New Orleans, land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means."

Besides Bourbon Street the most famous street in New Orleans, at least seen from a music perspective, has got to be Basin Street.

Of the many artists singing about Basin Street, this has got to be one of the better takes.

Ella Fitzgerald – Basin Street Blues is found on the record “Lullabies of Birdland” released in 1954.
