Video Drum Cover – The Jackson 5 – ABC

“ABC” by The Jackson 5 is a joyful explosion of youthful energy and irresistible pop-soul charm. Released in 1970, this Motown hit catapulted the young Jackson brothers further into stardom, led by a then-11-year-old Michael Jackson, whose vocal charisma was already unmistakable. With its upbeat tempo, catchy chorus, and playful theme, “ABC” draws a clever parallel between learning to read and falling in love — turning innocent romance into a schoolyard lesson.

From the very first downbeat, the song bursts with vibrant horns, tight rhythm guitar, and a driving bassline, all signature elements of the classic Motown sound. The group’s harmonies are tight, but it’s Michael‘s exuberant delivery that steals the spotlight, brimming with confidence and infectious enthusiasm. “ABC, it’s easy as 1-2-3,” he sings — a line that became an instant pop culture mantra.

Beneath its bubblegum exterior lies masterful production and musicianship courtesy of The Corporation, Motown’s in-house songwriting team. “ABC” not only topped the charts but also became a timeless anthem of pure pop joy — a song that transcends generations and still makes people smile and dance today.
