I remember when I was a kid,in the early 70s,my mother bought a New Birth album titled 'Ain't No Big Thing,But It's Growing'.She was in love with their song "It's Impossible" and played it constantly.I'm not sure,but I think "Honeybee" is on this album as well.

Great choice,Finess! The New Birth is one of those great R&B bands that deserve much more recognition.

the New Birth also had some Humor even in thier stage act. my mother saw them when i was about 6 years old, and she told me it was the coolest show she had seen, i was so mad that i couldnt go, but the song in talkin about is "gotta get a Knutt" from the "Birth day" album
