Harry Lawrence "Tiny" Hill (July 19, 1906 – December 13, 1971) was an American band leader of the Big Band era.
During the height of his career Hill was billed as “America’s Biggest Bandleader” because of his weight of over 365 lb (166 kg).
His signature song was "Angry", which he first recorded in 1939 on Columbia Records' Vocalion label.
He used sandpaper blocks and a güiro to generate a double shuffle "beat that makes the listener itch to dance".
