True story- My 1977 Panama City, FL HS class was asked to vote on a class song for graduation. Many of us voted for THIS one, and I think it wasn’t close The admin didn’t like that, so we were stuck with the Theme from Mahogany. If you’ve ever seen the movie Dazed and Confused, yeah, that was us. :)

Checked to be certain and, yes, 'Do You Know Where You're Going To' was the theme song. Always enjoyed the recordings of Diana Ross, but this was certainly not a favorite. When she's hot, she's hot. When she's not, she's not.
Enjoyed her movie 'Lady Sings the Blues' far more than her efforts in 'Mahogany'.
IMHO it rates on the same level as Love Child,
another miscalculation.

I had to look up Theme from Mahogany. I don't think I've heard it since it was on the charts and had completely forgotten about it.

At first, I thought you were referring to this weird tune from the show "Mahagonny." That would, indeed, be a rather, let's say, unique choice for a class theme song had it gotten past the admin, which would have been highly unlikely.
