The Candy Man is a song that originally appeared in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, sung by Aubrey Woods, who played candy store owner Bill in the film.   Sammy Davis Jr.'s version appears on the Sammy Davis Jr. Now album. It became his only number-one hit, spending three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart starting June 10, 1972, and two weeks at the top of the easy-listening. The track featured backing vocals by the Mike Curb Congregation, who earlier released an unsuccessful version of the song. This single is in Very Good Plus condition. It comes with a stylish original record company sleeve.
