This album was released in September 1974 on the
Dawn label. It featured the singles "When Love Catches Up on You", "Lady", "Lady Lady Lady Lay" and "Spring of 1912". None of these found success in the UK, although the single "Lady" was a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Record Mirror said of "When Love Catches Up On You" that it had a "well-constructed string-backed chorus" but felt it took too long to build to become a hit, but did say Brotherhood of Man were "one of the best harmony groups in the business". The album was produced by the group's manager,
Tony Hiller. The songs on the album were of a more diverse nature to the pure pop the group would later become famous for, with themes including a song about
prostitution ("Lady"), open air sex ("Movin' With Susan") and a
real-life tragedy ("Spring of 1912"). Many tracks featured a soul-based sound, although pure pop was present on songs such as "Do-Be-Do" and "Have You Been a Good Boy". Other notable tracks included a cover of
The Hollies' "
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", which showcased the group's harmonies and was a song they'd performed in their live shows. Member
Nicky Stevens has said that this is her favourite recording with the group. They also performed this song before the Queen at a televised charity show in 1976. A reissue of
Good Things Happening was released on Compact disc for the first time in May 2009. == Track listing ==
