Henry Cave Small (born February 29, 1948) is an American-born Canadian singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and radio personality. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Small has been a member of three rock bands: Prism, Scrubbaloe Caine, and Small Wonder.
With Prism, Small enjoyed great success and recognition in the early 1980s. His first album with the band was Small Change. It was the band's most commercially successful studio album on the Billboard 200, and it was their first and only album to the make the top 100. The lead single, "Don't Let Him Know", inspired by the Kim Carnes song "Bette Davis Eyes", and co-written by Jim Vallance with Bryan Adams, became Prism's first and only Top 40 hit in the US. It went on to peak at No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1982, and stayed in the charts for just over four months. Their follow-up, Beat Street, however, was more of a solo album by Small than a Prism album as it features no founding members of the band, and relied heavily on session musicians. After Prism broke up in 1984, Small worked with the Who's bass guitarist John Entwistle, singing the lead vocals on his sixth solo album The Rock. He has also worked with Eddie Money, Doug Cox, and Richie Zito.
Small pursued a solo career and released his debut album Time in 2002. He is currently working as a morning radio personality at CIFM-FM in Kamloops, British Columbia.
