The soundtrack album “Thank God It´s Friday” is originally issued as a 3 record set in 1978, of which the 3rd record was a single side, 12 inch single of the 15:47 minutes Donna Summer, “Je T’aime track”. Cameo’s “Find My Way” was originally issued as a 7? single in 1975. Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer’s cover version of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin’s 1969 hit single “Je t’aime… moi non plus” was also recorded a few years earlier, had its debut on the soundtrack and was subsequently issued as an edited 7? single in a few countries in 1978. “Too Hot Ta Trot” was from The Commodores’ 1977 album Commodores Live! – on certain editions of the Thank God It’s Friday album replaced by a studio recording. Other titles on the soundtrack, including “Last Dance”, were especially recorded for the film. Among the songs heard in the movie but not issued on the soundtrack album are Alec R. Costandinos’ “Romeo and Juliet”, Giorgio Moroder’s “From Here to Eternity”, The Originals’ “Down to Love Town”, D.C. LaRue’s “You Can Always Tell a Lady (By the Company She Keeps)” and The Commodores’ “Brick House”. Diana Ross’ “Lovin’ Livin’ and Givin’” was remixed after the release of the soundtrack and used as the opening track on her 1978 album Ross. It was also released as a single in certain territories and has since been remixed and re-edited a number of times for inclusion on various hits packages issued by Motown/Universal Music.
The final part of Donna Summer’s “Last Dance” is later re-included as a separate track called ‘Reprise’ towards the end of the soundtrack album.
