You know I love my Ross to have some soul, most of the time. "Theme" could've been a Streisand song, that's just how "soul-less" it is, for my taste. It just does nothing for me. Even Thelma Houston's version doesn't move me one bit, and I love Thelma's voice.
I'm guessing Quality Control meetings were no longer a thing at Motown by this time, but if it were and I were involved, I definitely would have gotten this one wrong. I wouldn't have voted against it as an album cut. I wouldn't have even voted against it as the theme song to the movie. But I definitely would have voted against it as a single. I would have thought the public would have been as bored as I am. Lol But hey, we can't pick winners every time.
