"Love Street" is a 1968 song by The Doors which appears on their album Waiting For The Sun. The song is about the street in Laurel Canyon, California where Jim Morrison lived with his girlfriend Pamela Courson. Their address was 1812 Rothdell Trail. Morrison and Courson referred to Rothdell Trail as "Love Street" because they would sit on the balcony and watch countless hippies walk by.
Released as the B-side of Hello, I Love You, Love Street received a small amount of airplay on the radio. Not until recently has it been given more airtime.
