Search - Groucho Marx :: Emi Comedy Classics

2008 release, a collection of rare Groucho, some of which hasn't been heard since the original broadcasts. The collection includes many different facets of his radio career. Included are rare guest appearances on popular shows of the day, such as the Dinah Shore show, WWII radio performances before the troops, an even a rare appearance in a radio adaptation of the popular stage musical Lady Be Good. As an entertainer and comedian, Groucho Marx remains a well-known figure some 30 years after his death. Marx's grease-paint bushy eyebrows and mustache, and trademark cigar, made him immediately recognizable, and he gained a reputation for smart ad-libs and cutting insults. While he came to fame on the stage and movie screen in the company of his brothers (the Marx Brothers), he also had a high-profile solo career, working in radio during the '30s and '40s, television during the '50 and '60s, and as a performer of one-man shows in the '70s.
