What's on TV? Tuesday, February 15, 1966

Pre-empting The Fugitive this week is The Anatomy of Pop: The Music Explosion, a  look at the roots of popular music, with an all-star lineup of performances and interviews including the Supremes, the Temptations, the Dave Clark Five, Marty Robbins, Tex Ritter, Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa, Billy Taylor, Richard Rodgers, and Tony Bennett; the narrator is ABC News anchorman Bob Young. Since it survives on YouTube, it's well worth an hour of your time. That, and more goodies, are in today's listings from the Northern California edition.
