Groucho Marx was an American comedian, actor, writer, stage, film, radio, and television star. He is generally considered to have been a master of quick wit and one of America's greatest comedians, often teaming up with his brothers and well known as The Marx Brothers.
Beginning in vaudeville then he moved onto film around the 1930's, making 26. At this time Groucho was also working as a radio comedian and show host.
This double record album presents Groucho's much later live performances (his last live stage solo shows before he passed away in 1977) during the year 1972, these being concert performances at Carnegie Hall, Stephen's Auditorium at Iowa State University and Masonic Auditorium in Frisc.
