Gentle Giant is the first studio album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1970.
Since the LP was not originally released in the United States, the cover illustration was instead used for the Three Friends album.
American hip-hop duo Madvillain sampled "Funny Ways" on "Strange Ways" from their album Madvillainy, which was subsequently featured in an episode of the television show The Boondocks.
All tracks are written by Kerry Minnear, Derek Shulman, Phil Shulman, and Ray Shulman
