Here is a special "Favorite Music Friday" post, Sunday Night Edition. Last night after SNL, I watched a Time-Life infomercial for their new '70s soul music collection. TL has put out some great collections in recent years. I bought Mrs. Kaiju their "Sounds of the Eighties" set a few years ago, and I have my eye on the Classic Soft Rock set (I have weakness for '70s soft rock...Shhh, don't tell anyone).
The infomercial last night had clips from groups such as The Chi-Lites and The Stylistics. It sparked a memory of another music compilation from years ago. Anyone who watched late-night TV in the mid-eighties should remember this. I remembered the tag line since we used it very often back then, but I had forgotten the album title. But with a little Google-Fu, I found it:
And as long as we're going back to the days of TV-offer-only compilation albums, I have to include this for Edige:
There's a shorter version here with the track list. This one has the production company's lead-in.
I need to look through my dozens of off-air recorded VHS tapes. I'm sure I have some gems like these that should be posted on the interwebs for posterity...and laughs.

Too funny, I think I caught the same commercial you did. Those compilation commercials are dangerous ... any time I come across one I lose half an hour of my life for some inexplicable reason. Even for the music I don't actually like (i.e., that '70s Sweet Soul collection).
