About this artist collection

The retained Anne Murray solo identity is used. The original solo performances remain separate from the 2007 duet project and earlier or later concert recordings. Two inherited Love Song title IDs are preserved as actual provisional candidates. Existing sourced artist context is reused.

First released means the earliest documented official public release of the selected recording. A year-only date does not assert a month or day. Later singles, chart years, compilations, remasters and reissues do not replace that date.
