V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The licensed recording field explicitly retains 1975, before the later studio album, compilation or annual appearance. Only the supported original year is assigned.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.

The program preserves original recording fields for Reach Out and Touch and Remember Me in 1970, Good Morning Heartache in 1972, Theme from Mahogany in 1975, It's My Turn in 1980 and Endless Love in 1981. The compilation's 1981/2015 package dates do not date those older performances.
About Diana Ross
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Diana Ross began her recording career with the Supremes, the Detroit vocal group associated with Motown's 1960s pop and soul sound. Her separate solo career brought Ain't No Mountain High Enough on her 1970 debut album. She also moved into film, portraying Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues in 1972. The Supremes' recordings, her solo records and later duets belong to related but distinct credits, reflecting the different settings in which she performed.
