On the Street Where You Live is the eighteenth studio album by American singer Vic Damone, released by Capitol Records in August 1964. It was his final album for the label, and was available both in stereo and mono sound. It was produced by Jack Marshall. Damone originally recorded the title song, "On the Street Where You Live", in 1956 while he was signed to Columbia Records.
It contains show tunes under baton of Pete King, including tracks from My Fair Lady, ("On the Street Where You Live"), West Side Story (''Tonight", "Maria", and "Something's Coming"), and Pal Joey ("I Could Write a Book").
The album was released on compact disc by EMI Music Distribution on December 9, 2003, as a double album paired with Damone's 1963 live album, The Liveliest at the Basin Street East.

Reception
Billboard noted that "He has again come up with a smooth package that's loaded with a vocal charm. With the help of Pete King, who arranged and conducted."
Cash Box claimed "it follows through with the Broadway motif as he serves up warm and sensitive readings of 'She Loves Me', 'Lost in The Stars', 'Younger than Springtime' and a powerful treatment of 'Maria'".
Variety said that "it's a standout catalog containing such numbers as 'I'm Am in Love', 'Younger Than Springtime', 'Till There Was You', 'Maria', 'Lost in The Stars', and 'She Loves Me,' and among others."
American Record Guide referred to it as "an excellent album".
The Standard stated that "The album could be more succinctly titled Broadway Show Stoppers. This is precisely what the disc offers. Vic gets superb support from arranger conductor Pete King and his orchestra."
