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 studio recording was released in 1977 and belongs to the original B.J. Thomas program. Year precision does not assign an album day to a single or a later reissue.

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.

B.J. Thomas - original recordings and later acoustic career
The official biography describes the pop, country and gospel repertoire, identifies the original 1977 Don't Worry Baby and 1983 Whatever Happened to Old-Fashioned Love contexts, and explicitly describes the 2013 Living Room Sessions as new acoustic performances with named duet partners. Used for those boundaries and artist context.

B.J. Thomas - official original album chronology
The official discography identifies the original On My Way, Young and in Love, Everybody's Out of Town, Billy Joe Thomas, Reunion, B.J. Thomas, Home Where I Belong, You Gave Me Love and New Looks album years. Album dates do not replace earlier regional or non-album singles, including the 1969 Raindrops single before the listed 1970 album.
