Take me back to June 4, 1977

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Saturday, June 4, 1977. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

In the United States, the Memorial Day weekend of 1977 has recently come and gone. To many, this means that the summer has officially started. The summer of 1977 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder is at the top of the singles charts, while "I Don't Want To Talk About It / The First Cut Is The Deepest" by Rod Stewart is the number-one song in the UK.

Jimmy Carter is the President of the United States, and the movie Star Wars is at the top of the box office. James Callaghan is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In fashion, clothes have become baggier and pants have become less flared. Sports clothing and the "disco look" are both popular at the moment. Women are wearing sundresses, strapless tops with t-shirts, shoulder pads, cardigans, knee-length skirts and daisy dukes. Meanwhile, men are wearing tracksuits, flare jeans, low-top sneakers and untucked collared shirts.

Because it's 1977, the music charts are being dominated by the likes of The Eagles, Donna Summer, Wings, Boney M, Baccara, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand and Debby Boone. A new song called "God Save the Queen" has recently been released by English punk band The Sex Pistols. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Elvis Presley, Marc Bolan, Charlie Chaplin, and Keith Moon would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Two Ronnies", "Soul Train", "Police Woman", and "Fawlty Towers". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Tank", "Pursuit", "Gun Fight", and "Breakout".
