The Sammy Davis Jr. song “The Candy Man” was one of the very first of 2 records my Father actually bought for me back in the early 1970s. It was a very big hit for Sammy too. So I’ve always admired him in song and film over the years. But to cover this Bassey classic with the grand passion he delivers was quite impressive- I never knew he had. Now I’ll be adding it to my collection. Thanks blog for the treat.
