1970 - Mungo Jerry hits No.1 on the UK and Canadian singles charts with 'In The Summertime'. It wound only reach #3 on US charts but would go on to become the best selling UK single of 1970 spending seven weeks at No.1.
1976 - The Jackson Five's summer variety show premieres on TV. It was the first variety show where the entire cast were siblings. The thirty-minute show which started as a four week series is extended for an additional year and resulted in a total of 12 episodes airing.
