"This Old Heart of Mine" is the twenty-fifth single by Dutch girl group Luv', released in 1992 by the Dutch label JAM. It is the last record involving the line-up including Marga Scheide, Carina Lemoine and Diana van Berlo before the reunion of the original trio in 1993.
The 1991 album Sincerely Yours and the singles released from it were far from being hit records, though the female pop formation was frequently invited to perform live at clubs and discos. Because of the lack of commercial success, Luv' and RCA Records/BMG ended their legal relationship. The trio later signed a contract with the Dutch label JAM for the release of one single in 1992, a Dance cover version of "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)" (originally performed by The Isley Brothers. Luv's rendition of this Motown hit failed to top the charts. This attempt to cover a song from the Holland-Dozier-Holland repertoire is not the first one for Scheide, one of Luv's members. In 1983, she recorded as a solo artist a Supremes medley that was aired on Black American radio stations despite its disappointing record sales.
Soon after promoting "This Old Heart of Mine", the group disbanded. One year later, the original formation (José Hoebee, Patty Brard and Marga Scheide) reunited and returned to the Dutch albums and singles charts.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or version:
“Many count on their disadvantages to cover for them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
