I'll Make Love to You
Boyz II Men
1994
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: 1994
Release: 1994Source 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 label explicitly documents the 1994 single before the original II album. That original year supersedes the inconsistent 1995 field attached to the current distributor item.
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.
Owner-supplied release annotations
Reported dates in 1994.html, 1995.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Classic Motown - original II album and preceding single
The label identifies the original August 1994 album and the preceding I'll Make Love to You single in the same year. This supersedes the distributor's inconsistent 1995 title-recording field; exact chart dates are not treated as release days.
II - original Motown program
The original program identifies On Bended Knee, Water Runs Dry and Thank You in 1994. The inherited 1995 I'll Make Love to You item and January 1 album placeholder do not override the label's explicit 1994 history.
