The song was published in 1926 and made famous in a recording by Louis Armstrong in 1928. The famous verse with the lyric "Won't you come along with me..." was later added by Glenn Miller and Jack Teagarden. <br /><br />The Basin Street of the title refers to the notorious red-light district of the early 20th-century New Orleans French Quarter. <br /><br />Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys also recorded a version during the group's heyday with Tommy Duncan. Louis Prima also recorded the song on his 1957 album The Wildest!. <br /><br />Jo Stafford also recorded a duet version with Frankie Laine. <br /><a class="link" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basin_Street_Blues">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basin_Street_Blues</a>
