SPECIAL NOTES:  The final two songs on the survey (listed just 
below #77), "Somethin' Stupid" and "Sweet Soul Music," are 
actually in a "New Gold" category, having actually fallen off the 
survey and played as oldies.  WABC did not refer to these types of 
songs as "New Gold" until early 1968.


"You Just May Be the One" by the Monkees was added as a Hot 
Prospect this week.  In fact, this record was never released as a 
single, but was released instead as a promotional EP.  The song 
appeared later in the year on the "Headquarters" album.
