SPECIAL NOTE:  "Snatching It Back" by Clarence Carter did not 
appear on the printed playlist, and indeed was never played on 
WABC, due to what management considered inappropriate lyrics (the 
title was thought to have a vulgar colloquial meaning).  Although 
not played, the song was acknowledged as #19 on Cousin Brucie's 
Top 20 countdown show on Tuesday evening.
