Fingertips (Part 2)

Release: 1963

Release: 1963Source checked

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. Motown explicitly dates the live Fingertips 45 to May 1963 and identifies Part 2 as the hit. The earlier studio Fingertips and the separately retained Part 1 are different selections; a venue label's session year is not used as the release date.

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.

Stevie Wonder - Motown recording and career history
The label history distinguishes the early Little Stevie Wonder credit, the live Fingertips single released in 1963, Uptight in 1965, later solo album development, the Paul McCartney duet and the new 2005 A Time to Love album. Promotional award/chart superlatives and medical claims are not used.

The Definitive Collection - original single and live version catalog
The label catalog explicitly identifies live Fingertips Part 2, Sunshine with horns and the shorter Do I Do single version. Its 2002 compilation dates do not date the original recordings; the year embedded in the Fingertips venue label is not treated as a independently verified session date.
