This Old Heart of Mine is the fourth studio album released by The Isley Brothers in 1966, on the Tamla ( Motown) label. The album, their first with the seminal Detroit-based music label, yielded the Isleys' biggest hit in their early period with the title track, " This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)". Other charted singles including "Take Some Time Out for Love" and " I Guess I'll Always Love You".
Despite the early success of their Motown debut, the Isley Brothers would be alienated from the label because it treated them as a second-string group. They soon left for Buddah Records and reforming their own T-Neck label in 1969, finding long-lasting success soon afterwards.
The album cover featuring white models was satirized in a scene from the 1991 film The Five Heartbeats, a musical drama chronicling the career of a fictional rhythm and blues vocal group.
