Het Goede Doel (1979) ('The Good Cause' or 'The Charitable Institution') is a Dutch 'Nederpop'-band ('Netherpop'). This word refers to the sudden growth of Dutch language pop music in the Netherlands in the eighties (with bands like Doe Maar, Frank Boeijen Group, Drukwerk, Klein Orkest and Toontje Lager).
The popgroup exists of singer-songwriters Henk Westbroek (1952) en Henk Temming (1951), also known as Henk & Henk. Well-known hits of the group are (beside above song): 'Sinterklaas, who doesn't know him'/'Sinterklaas, wie kent hem niet' (1982, as Henk and Henk); 'Friendship'/'Vriendschap' (1983); 'I dance, so I exist'/'Ik dans, dus ik besta' (1986); 'Tried everything'/'Alles geprobeerd' (1986); and 'If I had the shape of Arnold Schwarzenegger'/'Als ik de bouw van Arnold Schwarzenegger had' (1991).
They released over 10 albums. With René Froger they had a big hit with 'Alles kan een mens gelukkig maken' (1989).
