“ABC” #1 4/25/1970

There are so many songs these days (2020) from the 60’s and 70’s that show up on radio and TV. This one, the second of four straight #1’s out of the chute from the Jackson Five, is everywhere in a commercial for a certain respiratory medication. It’s way too much like their first hit, but Berry Gordy didn’t care since he was one of the co-writers on both, and it made money. He sent the brothers to L.A. ahead of the entire label making that move. Video is from “American Bandstand” via VH1.
