Pelé was a French electronic duo that formed in the early 1990s. Their song "ABC" came out in 1998 and became their most recognizable track. The group consisted of vocalist Eric Le Brun and multi-instrumentalist Sébastien Tellier.
They released their debut album in 1999, which included "ABC." A follow-up called "Horizon" arrived in 2003, and they put out another album, "Nightwalker," in 2017. The duo was known for maintaining anonymity, often performing behind screens or in darkness.
In 1999, Pelé faced a copyright lawsuit over a melody in "ABC" that some said resembled a traditional Chinese folk song. The lyrics to that song have been interpreted in various ways, from playful to darker readings.
