    Late 60s early 70s TV movie about angels helping a musician become famous
    I remember a TV movie about a singer who was unsuccessful until a group of angels came and played backup for him. He thought he was playing with them but the angels were invisible. He did become successful.

    I checked Love, American Style, and the ABC Movie of the Week without success.

    I thought Ricky Nelson was the musician but it doesn't list this as one of his movies

    Some of the angel's lyrics were:

    "We want to hear ourselves on the radio,

    We want to see ourselves in the picture shows..."

    I know, campy... but I can still remember the music. Can you help??
