Background

In the summer of 1979, Luv' and their producers and songwriters decided to leave Philips/Phonogram Records. José Hoebee, Patty Brard, Marga Scheide and their team signed a 750,000 Dutch Guilder contract with CNR affiliated to Carrere Records on October 7, 1979. With this new deal, Luv's challenge was to prove that after one year and a half of mainstream success, the trio could still score hit records in the music charts. The formation's first single released by Carrere was "Ooh, Yes I Do", a track composed and produced by Van Hemert. The song used a melody inspired by the flute theme of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)". It became an instant hit. A Spanish version was recorded for the Latin American market and reached gold status in Mexico.
In 2021, DJ WR and DJ BarFeet posted the uptempo remixes of "Ooh, Yes I Do" and "Si, Que Si" on their YesterMix's YouTube channel.

Ooh Yes I Do was a Top 5 hit in Denmark and the Netherlands, a Top 10 record in Belgium and France, a Top 20 single in Austria and a Top 30 song in Germany.
The single sold 200.000 copies in France.

CNR/Carrere licensed the rights for Luv's records to various labels worldwide.
