In 1972, Sammy Davis, Jr. released the song, The Candy Man.  Sammy Davis, Jr. was an amazingly talented man who could sing, dance, play various instruments, and could make you laugh. 

He was considered to be one of the world’s best entertainers during his career.

He was born into an entertainment family in Harlem, New York. He started in vaudeville at the age of three with his father.  Sammy could be seen in Broadway shows, as well as Las Vegas stages as part of the Rat Pack.  Sammy was in films with his fellow Rat Pack actors, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. In 1960, Ocean’s Eleven was released that starred all three of them. 

In 1987, Sammy was presented with a Kennedy Center Honor.  He passed away in 1990 before being awarded a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 2001.  

The lyrics from his 1972 song ask “What kind of candy do you want?”  Being a big fan of candy, my answer would be chocolate with peanut butter!
