"This Old Heart of Mine" is a 1966 album released by The Isley Brothers 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. Other charted singles including "Take Some Time Out for Love" and "I Guess I'll Always Love You". The album's cover was controversial because it did not depict the three African-American brothers, instead using a picture of two white teenage lovers on a beach. The cover would be parodied in the 1991 movie, "The Five Heartbeats", where the group and its manager are taken aback that the group's faces were not shown on their album cover, inciting Leon's J.T. character to balk, "I ain't ever seen five niggas on Elvis Presley's album cover."

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.
