Roy was born Harry Lipman in Stamford Hill, London, England, and after learning piano from the age of 7, went on to study clarinet and alto saxophone at the age of 16. He and his brother Sidney formed a band which they called the Darnswells Dance Band, with Harry on saxophone and clarinet and Sidney on piano. During the 1920s, they performed in several prestige venues, such as the Alhambra and the London Coliseum, in bands such as the Original Lyrical Five and the Crichton Lyricals. They had a three-year residency at the Café de Paris, and toured South Africa, Australia and Germany.

By the early 1930s, Harry Roy was fronting his own band, the RKOliansthe band under his own name, and broadcasting from the Café Anglais and the Mayfair Hotel. In 1931, he wrote and sang "My Girl's Pussy", which has since been the subject of many cover versions and remakes. In 1935, he married Elizabeth Brooke (stage name: Princess Pearl), daughter of the White Rajah of Sarawak, with whom he appeared in two musical films, Everything Is Rhythm (1936) and Rhythm Racketeer (1937). Appearing in the former film were Roy's two pianists, Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye. They had originally been part of Harry Roy's Tiger Ragamuffins, a smaller outfit composed of members of the main band, which also included drummer Joe Daniels. Moreton and Kaye left Roy's band in early 1936, going on to a successful career as piano duettists in their own right. Read even more about Harry Roy at Wikipedia
