Musical Interlude: The Candy Man (1972)

 Roughly a year after "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory", Sammy Davis, Jr. recorded his version of "The Candy Man", which went all the way to #1 for 3 weeks in the summer of 1972.

Unfortunately, all the performance videos are of Sammy on his own, without the Mike Curb Congregation, acting as his backup singers. So, we'll go with the audio, and a shot of an album cover.....


I don't think Davis charted with the theme from Baretta, though.
