"The Candy Man" is a song which originally appeared in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.  It was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley specifically for the film. The song is best known through Sammy Davis, Jr.'s version, which appears on the Sammy Davis Jr. Now album. Though he admitted to hating 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.

Easter meant an egg hunt first thing out of bed, and then we left the ranch to go to the city to see both of my grandmas, who gave me lots of candy and a paddle ball. Nothing better than…
