West coast symphonic band featuring former Scrubbaloe Caine frontman Henry Small. Released two albums for Columbia 'Small Wonder' in 1976 and 'Growin'' in 1977. Bill King was not featured on the second record and drums were done by legendary session drummer Ed Greene.
Henry Small would later join Burton Cummings' touring band followed by a stint as the new lead singer for Prism following the death of Ron Tabak in the early '80s. He also wrote material for Eddie Money and was a member of Who bassist John Entwhisle's band The Rock. In 2000 Small was the morning radio voice for CIFM in Kamloops and was playing in a band called The Shift who released a CD entitled 'Out Of The Darkness' in 1999. A proper Henry Small solo album called 'Time' was released in the spring of 2002. In recent years Small launched an advertising/jingle company with Gary Fridell called Small World Studios.
