Doggin' Around
Jackie Wilson
1960
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: 1960
Release: 1960Source 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 studio recording belongs to the documented 1960 Jackie Sings the Blues program and original single sequence. A licensed parent item with a conflicting inherited 1959 placeholder is not adopted; the label and original-catalog issue review support 1960.
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.

Jackie Wilson - Brunswick original catalog and artist history
The original label identifies the solo artist, original album programs and the separately labeled At the Copa live album and duet projects. Its original album chronology supports the selected studio programs, except the isolated Baby Workout 1962 heading, which conflicts with the licensed 1963 program and the independently documented original catalog issue.
Brunswick original album discography - scoped independent cross-check
The authored original-catalog discography identifies Jackie Sings the Blues as a 1960 release, Baby Workout BL-54110 as 1963, Whispers as 1966 and Beautiful Day as 1973. These original issue descriptions cross-check specific inconsistent label/distributor fields. The bracketed release years are distinguished from the separate chart annotations.
Brunswick original singles chronology - boundary review
The label identifies the original Brunswick singles and their chart chronology. Used to check that original singles precede later albums and annual appearances, including Lonely Teardrops, Talk That Talk and Baby Workout. The chart debut days are never treated as release days, and do not by themselves resolve a year-end first-release question.
