Thanks, John. Candy Man (or alternatively, The Candy Man Can) is a song that originally appeared in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Sammy Davis Jr.'s version appears on the Sammy Davis Jr. Now album. Although Davis admitted to diFER! sliking the song, finding it too saccharine, it became his only number-one hit, spending three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart starting 10 June 1972, and two weeks at the top of the easy-listening chart. Billboard ranked it as the No. 5 song for 1972.
