SPECIAL NOTE:  Even though this survey was prepared to debut on 31 
December 1968, the actual on-air premier was at 6:00AM on 2 
January 1969, on the Harry Harrison show.  (WABC was in the midst 
of their year-end countdown of the Top 100 songs of the year until 
then.)  For the sake of continuity, and to assign this survey to 
1968, the Tuesday, 31 December 1968 debut date has been kept.
