ABC are an English pop band formed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in 1980, evolving from the earlier electronic band Vice Versa. Associated with the new pop movement of the early 1980s, ABC blended synth‑pop with disco and rock influences. The band achieved mainstream success with their debut album The Lexicon of Love (1982), which reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and featured the hit singles Tears Are Not Enough, Poison Arrow, All of My Heart and The Look of Love. Fronted by lead vocalist Martin Fry, the band’s only constant member, their classic line‑up featured Fry, guitarist and keyboardist Mark White, saxophonist Stephen Singleton and drummer David Palmer. ABC achieved ten UK and five US Top 40 hit singles from 1981 to 1990. Their early‑1980s success in the US made them part of the Second British Invasion. Following The Lexicon of Love, ABC continued to release music throughout the 1980s, with notable albums including Beauty Stab (1983), which featured the hit single That Was Then but This Is Now; How to Be a … Zillionaire! (1985), which included the hit singles (How to Be A) Millionaire and Be Near Me; and Alphabet City (1987), which included the hit singles When Smokey Sings and The Night You Murdered Love.
