1964
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 1964
Release: 1964Source 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. The original recording is documented in the 1964 release history of Make Way for Dionne Warwick. Only year precision is assigned; later singles, charts, remasters and live versions do not establish its first release.
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.

Make Way for Dionne Warwick - original 1964 recordings
The original 1964 program identifies Walk On By, Reach Out for Me and You'll Never Get to Heaven. The separately titled French and English A House Is Not a Home item is not generalized to an original English-only release.
Rhino - Make Way for Dionne Warwick
The label identifies the original 1964 Scepter album and its Walk On By, Reach Out for Me and You'll Never Get to Heaven singles. This supports original studio-program identity rather than a later anthology's explicitly live Walk On By.
