英國搖滾公雞〔洛史都華〕＆黑人靈魂歌手〔羅納艾斯里〕──成人抒情榜冠軍──輕快迷人的流行佳作──〔This Old Heart of Mine〕

(Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland, Sylvia Moy, 1966)

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times.
Each time you break away, feel youre gone to stay.
Lonely nights that come, memories that go,
bringing you back again, hurting me more and more.
Maybe its my mistake to show this love I feel inside,
cause each day that passes by
you got me never knowing if Im coming or going
but I love you, this old heart weeps for you.
I love you; yes I do.

I try hard to hide my hurt inside.
This old heart of mine always keeps me crying.
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete.
Youre here for the day, gone for the week.
But if you leave me a hundred times,
a hundred times I have you back.
Im yours whenever you want me;
I wanna shout about it, tell the world about it
cause I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you, this old heart weeps for you.

Maybe its my mistake to show this love I feel inside,
cause each day that passes by
you got me never knowing if Im coming or going
but I love you, yes I do.
This old heart weeps for you.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you; yes I do, yes I do.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you; yes I do, yes I do.

１９６６年　美國黑人兄弟靈魂團體艾斯里兄弟（The Isley Brothers）發行單曲〔The Old Heart of Mine〕（Is Weak for You）

此曲原本是要給當時女子天團至上（The Supremes）演唱

但後來給了艾斯里兄弟

拿到告示榜單曲榜＃１２

１９７５年英國搖滾公雞洛史都華（Rod Stewart）推出自己的版本　但不成功

１９８９年底　史都華發行個人單飛２０年的紀念精選輯〔Storyteller：The Best of Rod Steart〕／說書人〕

首支單曲〔Dotown Train〕在英美拿下出色成績

第二首單曲則再度翻唱〔The Old Heart of Mine〕

並邀來艾斯里兄弟中的主唱羅納｛Roland Isley｝一起合唱

此版改編成節奏輕快的成人流行風格　

洛與羅納在此展現他們著名的靈魂歌喉

兩人一沙啞　一輕柔　形成明顯的對比

交織成這曲精彩的成人佳作

〔The Old Heart of Mine〕拿下美國流行榜＃１０　成人抒情榜冠軍

英國＃５１　德國＃５１　愛爾蘭＃２５　荷蘭＃４９

在洛史都華眾多名曲中　這可能是個人最喜歡的一首
