Detailed info on track "Lovin', Livin' and Givin'"
The version of "Lovin', Livin' and Givin'" in the 1978 American musical disco comedy film Thank God It's Friday is almost an instrumental used as a background for dialogue.
The different versions of the song are as following:
1. On the LP Ross [[1978) and later as a B-side on the 12" "The Boss" [[1979) – 5:10 [[with its own disco break).
2. On the MCA re-issue I'm Coming Out and on the CD Anthology from 1986 [[the 5:10 version edited to 3:30 with a progressive synthesizer intro but without the disco break).
3. On the European 7" and the US movie soundtrack [[4:40 with a 50-second disco break different from the album version break). This version is the one available on the CD Thank God It's Friday [[on both the single CD edition and the 2-CD set).
4. On the 1983 double LP Anthology [[4:00, same as #3 without the progressive synth intro).
5. On the original Thank God It's Friday European LP [[3:15, with a different arrangement, less synth).
6. On the CD The Motown Anthology [[same as #5 but longer, 4:40). This one is usually referred to as the film mix, which it isn't. The mostly instrumental version heard in the film would in fact be #7.
