It's a fragment of the film "New Orleans", directed by Arthur Lubin in 1947. This is the saddest part of the film, in my opinion, because everybody is obliged to leave the city they learnt to call a home and that's what this song tell us about.

  • Anyone know where I can find this song? I think the recording was destroyed.

  • @Voodoofoxx What an insulting 'hahaha' idiot. It's called DIGNITY, which you do not have.

  • @ThatsaCryinShame

    what does the fact that this is a movie and not real life - something which I am aware of - have to do my earlier comment and its relevance????

  • @hhold its a movie not real life. 

  • Some of you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Storyville was the legalized redlight district in New Orleans. Classy and elegant? hahaha.. you have no idea. Although I love the music, the setting and the people depicted here I just needed to set things straight.

  • I first heard Billie when I was 16...I think I would have married her sight unseen and loved her forever just for what I heard in her beautiful voice! I am still so enamored!

  • nobody does blues like BILLIE and with LOUIS magnificent

  • @Csimontx : Erykah Badu ;) .
