The Sixties were a period of massive social and political upheaval in America. While much of these changes were reflected in the popular songs of the era, many performers also sang of fun, romance and good times.

Iconic actor Adam West, best known as the “Caped Crusader” on the 1960s BATMAN TV series, hosts this newly assembled special with archival performances of hits that still resonate nearly half a century later.

"Rock Rewind 1965-1967" (MY MUSIC) is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations beginning November 29, 2014.
