The theme song's full title was "Angela (Theme from "Taxi" (1978))", was written/performed by Bob James and was from his 1978 album Touchdown. That album's title track was the song Bob had actually written for the theme, but Taxi's producers liked the short cue Bob had written/recorded for one brief scene with Alex (Judd Hirsch) and a young woman, Angela, and used that instead.

No, the link in the first post was right. That track WOULD have been the theme, but the producers liked "Angela" better.
