Biografía:
Gentle Giant es considerada una de las bandas de rock progresivo más originales y eclécticas de los años setenta.
Fue formada en 1970 en Inglaterra por los hermanos Shulman, después de que se disolviera su grupo anterior, "Simon Dupree and the Big Sound", en 1969. Junto con Gary Green, Kerry Minnear, y varios bateristas, grabaron doce álbumes a lo largo de los años 70. El grupo se disolvió en 1980.
Sus primeras grabaciones tendieron a ser más eclécticas y experimentales.
