An exclusive video has recently been posted on YouTube: Luv's very first TV performance on the TROS show "Disco Circus" (hosted by Ferry Maat and produced by John de Mol), broadcast on May 20th, 1977. The original Luv' trio sang the debut single entitled "My Man". Penney de Jager did the choreography for the song.
The ladies explained in interviews that the audition for the TV program was a bit humiliating. They had to perform their track in John de Mol's office. During the audition, the Dutch media tycoon didn't look at the girls because he felt uncomfortable. The three singers first thought that he was arrogant. It appeared later that the TV producer was embarrassed because of the way the audition was held. Out of respect for Luv', he could not look them in the eyes.
The lyrics of "My Man" (which dealt with a railroad man who was shot and died) shocked the Netherlands because around the time of its release, a hostage-taking occurred in a train in De Punt. Despite this controversy and a radio boycott, this ABBA-esque single peaked at #12 on the Dutch Top 40 and #10 on the Flemish BRT Top 30 in 1977.
