Ethel puts a coin in the jukebox, and a melody faintly plays as she talks to her daughter: "Girl Talk" by "BITP"'s soundtrack composer~Neal Hefti!

Making sure our fantasies
Do not overpower our realities. ~ RC
Thank you! That scene has driven me crazy for years, as I'm convinced that there was a popular R & B version of this melody sometime in the late 1970s or early 80s. I can finally sleep a little easier now that I know the title.

Yep. Hefti also wrote the "Odd Couple" theme, by the way.
