"Thank God It's Friday" soundtrack was released by Motown/Casablanca labels in 1978. I'm not sure, but the Motown artists on "Thank God It's Friday" soundrack are...

Cameo---Find My Way
Commodores---To Hot Ta Trot
Diana Ross---Love, Livin' and Givin'

Curiously I found on WEB the cover of Diana's "Love, Livin' and Givin'" recorded on Motown label --->

Thelma Houston, Syreeta Wright, and the Fifth Dimension were other Motown artists on the TGIF soundtrack. Thelma recorded "I'm Here Again" and "Love Masterpiece", Syreeta recorded a duet with a male vocalist on "Let's Make A Deal", and The Fifth Dimension recorded "You're The Reason I Feel Like Dancing" for the movie, but neither artist nor cut made it to the soundtrack, with the exception of Thelma's "Love Masterpiece".

Cameo was not on Motown, but on Choclate City, a subsidiary of Casablanca.

Syreeta and Fifth Dimension were featured in the film but didnt make the LP. I've actualy concidered making up a vol 2 soundtrack of all the songs not on the soundtrack..I have em all except the one DC Larue UK only B side "You Can Always Tell A Lady"..they coulda killed that uncalled for 17 min version of "Jetame" and put the rest of the stuff on that 3rd LP which I thought was wasted space. Even if it was edits of everything (as most of the stuff on the soundtrack is), it woulda still made it a full sndtrk LP.

Been recently playing the soundtrack and theres some top toons on it. Diana Ross' is wikkid.
Recently put the Santa Esmerelda track after Gary's Gang " Do it at the Disco" on a disco mix I did.

..and I know theres a few more im missing in this listing but havent seen the movie in full in a while..caught it on cable a few weeks back but it was half way through when i flipped it on.
Also to mention..the version of the Diana Ross track in the film is the original mix which was issued on the very first pressings of the soundtrack then relplaced with the euro remix on the common later pressings.

LP covers in the 1970s were super-raunchy weren't they?
Just look at some of the Fatback Band's.

I mean, could modern groups get away with it these days?
