abstract
  • %22ABC%22 is a 1970 number-one hit song by the Jackson 5. It was written with the same design as %22I Want You Back%22, and was first heard on American Bandstand (on the ABC network) in February 1970. %22ABC%22 knocked the Beatles' song %22Let It Be%22 off the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970 and was also number one on the soul singles chart for four weeks. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 15 song of 1970, just one notch ahead of the Jackson 5 single that followed it to No. 1, %22The Love You Save%22.%22ABC%22 was the first single from the second album by the Jackson 5, ABC and is considered one of the band's signature songs. It is one of the shortest titles to hit #1, and is the first song alphabetically in the list of #1 hits of the Billboard Hot 100.The song was performed in full throughout their tours from 1970-1971. Through the second half of 1971, it was performed as a medley along with %22I Want You Back%22, and later %22Mama's Pearl%22 as 1972 came along. By 1973, %22Mama's Pearl%22 was replaced with %22The Love You Save%22 & for the rest of the Jackson 5 tours and Jacksons tours as well. However, %22ABC%22 was replaced by %22I'll Be There%22 for the rest of the Jackson 5 medley's performances in the 1984 Victory Tour and Michael Jackson's three solo tours. The song was performed once again by the Jackson brothers during the 2001 30th Anniversary Celebration special.
