""ABC" is a 1970 number-one hit song by the Jackson 5. It was first heard on American Bandstand (on the ABC network) on February 21, 1970[2] just before it was released on February 24.[3] "ABC" knocked the Beatles' song Let It Be 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.[4] It was written with the same design as their first 1970 hit I Want You Back.

"ABC" was the first single from the Jackson 5's second album ABC which was released on May 8, 1970,[5] and is considered to be one of the band's signature songs. It is one of the shortest titles to hit #1and is the first song alphabetically in the list of #1 hits of the Billboard Hot 100...

.54-1.01 in this video features steppin movements that have been popularized by historically African American fraternity and sorority Greek letter organizations. That part of steppin is based on the 19th century and probably earlier African American percussive art called "pattin juba". The African American/Caribbean originated dance styles of b-boying, locking, and popping are also featured in this video.

Isaiah Morgan is the name of the lead boy who is wearing green. The names of other dancers are given in some of the comments in the video's discussion thread.
