Today Marks The 54th Anniversary of New Birth’s 2nd Studio Album “Ain't No Big Thing, But It's Growing” Originally Released on July 17, 1971.
“Ain't No Big Thing, But It's Growing” is the second studio album by American funk and R&B collective New Birth, released in 1971 on RCA Records.
The album reached #50 on the U.S. Billboard Best Selling Soul LP's chart, and at #189 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs chart.
The song "It's Impossible" was released as the album’s lead single.
"It's Impossible" reached #12 on the U.S. Billboard Best Selling Soul Singles chart and at #52 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Despite their charting with "Impossible,' the group would not come into their own until their fourth album, "Birth Day" in 1972.
The album established their trademark covers of other people's hits, most notably, in addition to "It's Impossible", The Five Stairsteps' "Ooh Child", Bread's "Make It With You", The Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye" and James Taylor's "Fire And Rain".
The album was produced by the band’s mentor Harvey Fuqua and his assistant Vernon Bullock.
