SPECIAL NOTE:  This week marks the end of WABC's "Pick Hit of the 
Week."  Since December, 1961, beginning with "A Little Bitty Tear" 
by Burl Ives (Decca), the "Pick Hit" was a regular weekly feature, 
with an occasional absence, and, in one case in 1966, two pick 
hits in the same survey.  Rick Sklar has a fascinating explanation 
regarding the demise of the "Pick Hit" in his book, "Rocking 
America."  Recommended reading.
