Sweet Gingerbread Man is a song with music by Michel Legrand and lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. It was recorded originally for director Leonard Horn's 1970 screen version of Robert T. Westbrook's 'The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart', a film about young people in Greenwich Village, New York. The song for the film was performed by the Mike Curb Congregation, who went on to record other film songs, including I Was Born in Love with You, another Legrand/Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman composition, this time for the 1970 film version of 'Wuthering Heights'. Sammy Davis Jr., Jack Jones, the Muppets, Bobby Sherman and Sarah Vaughan have all recorded versions of this charming, gently swinging classic; from it's distinctive opening riff to it's closing jazzy phrases, your audience is sure to love this sweet, summery classic.
