There was a shortlived series called What Really Happened to the Class of '65?, which aired in 1977 or 1978. One episode concerns a charcter named (I think I rember this) Cindy Kaye, who was an aspiring singer. In the show, she sang a really beautiful song called "I Need You in My Plans".

Does anyone know where I could find something about this song - writer? lyricist? artists? recordings? Anything at all - even a clue where to start would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Gary,
All I could come up with is:

Title: I Need You In My Plan
Writers: Myrna Smith and Donnie S. Weaver
Publisher: BMI

No info to be found on Donnie Weaver, but apparently, Myrna Smith was among other things a member of Elvis' backing band. The time frame of much of her work does coincide with the year(s) of the show, '77-'78.

Here are a few links on Myrna Smith:

Here is some info on the show:

That should get you started anyhow. Hope this helps.

Hi Gary,
You're very welcome. Been mostly living around New England. I'm afraid I don't remember this show, as I would have been 7 years old at the time. I was still watching Saturday morning cartoons and reruns of Kung Fu. Thankfully I learned to use a computer well by the age of 11, and have scarcely been off one since.
Here is the catalog info from BMI, if you need it:

I NEED YOU IN MY PLAN BMI Work #672083
Songwriter/Composer Current Affiliation CAE/IPI #

I'm very glad I was able to help. Thanks again. Take care.
