________________________

Song, artist information, writer, publisher, producer and arranger credits have been updated, corrected and clarified.

Recording date information is as accurate as possible. It is drawn from the Hitsville Studio session logs, which were created to coordinate studio bookings only. Outside recordings and live remote recordings were not included. Also, overdub dates were not always noted. Session logs were started in June 1961, becoming more accurate in February 1962, and were discontinued in June 1974. Sessions information prior to February 1962 and after June 1974 is approximate.
