The Glory of Gershwin is a 1994 tribute album by various singers and performers in celebration of American musician Larry Adler's 80th birthday. Adler himself plays the harmonica on each of the songs, all of which are written by Adler's lifelong friends, George and Ira Gershwin, except where collaborators were involved and are indicated. The album cover is a pastiche of Pablo Picasso's Three Musicians painting.

Produced by George Martin, the album peaked for three weeks at second place on the UK Albums Chart.^[3] The song "The Man I Love", featuring Kate Bush, was released as a single and reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart.^[4]
