Tiny Bradshaw, born 1905 in Youngstown, Ohio, was one of the most prominent bandleaders of the '30s and '40s who led groups of essentially jazz-trained musicians into the developing (and more commercial) field that came to be known as rhythm & blues and toured the "chitlin'" circuit as competition to shouter Wynonie Harris' crack team of studio blowers in the late '40s and early '50s. Though Tiny had only half the pipes of his huge-voiced rival his tightly knit band became known as one to reckon with, stressing a heavy backbeat that would later inspire early rockabilly artists like Elvis Presley, vocalist Johnny Burnette and pianist Moon Mullican.
