[78-L] A Gathering of Giants

[Sammy Jones]

This sounds a lot like the Legends and Songwriters Concert that Original
Cast put out in 1998.  The date is different, though.  OC says their concert
is February 25, 1941, and given at the Shrine Auditorium for Greek Relief.
The line-up seems similar.

Here it is on Amazon:
