No one sung "The Candy Man" better than Sammy Davis because you could tell he really enjoyed singing it.

Actually the only way they got him to do it was to tell him Frank Sinatra had had a pretty good hit singing a song with kids. If it was one thing Sammie loved it was to emulate Frank Sinatra. This time it really paid off,

Exactly, he wasn't even trying...it was just very natural.

i get so depressed i missed this era! The era of true artists!

What a classy talented entertainer. I miss him.

Truly one of the best entertainers of the 20th century.

Please bring this kind of music back, our world is dying. We need healing.

On this day in 1972 {March 5th} "Candy Man" by Sammy Davis, Jr entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #97; and on June 4th it peaked at #1 {for 3 weeks} and spent 21 weeks on the Top 100 {and for 7 of those 21 weeks it was on the Top 10}... It also reached #2 {for 1 week} on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... And on May 14th, 1972 it also reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... Back-up vocals were provided by the Mike Curb Congregation {the year before they peaked at #34 with the song "Burning Bridge" from the film 'Kelly's Heroes'}... R.I.P. Mr. Davis {1925 - 1990}...

A #1 hit for Sammy Davis, Jr. in June 1972. It also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts and on the Cashbox charts. It went to #2 in Canada and to #3 in Australia and on the Canadian AC charts.

There was 10 people on this Earth who had absolutely NO Talent because when God made Sammy he took all their talent and put it into him to complete what we see when we watch Sammy perform for us. What a very special entertainer that rose above all others. We miss you Sammy~RIP Brother!

I graduated from HS in May of 1972 and this was a hit a month or two later.I'll never forget it.

He was the man!! Beautiful performer! The best I ever have seen. I worked 40 years at a venue which had multiple artist. Even saw Elvis. They were performers!! Nothing like today!!

The original triple threat - superb dancer, singer and actor. Long live Sammy!

What, great talent!!. So proudly to have been, from that era..Thanks mom and dad for exposing me to this lovely music..'rip', you as well Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. thank you ~

My dad turned my on to Sammy D. I miss them both but with this song i can go back in TIME yes i can!! I just close my eyes and my dad is right there next to me eating pizza at pizza Roma in Wayne NJ.

I have taught my now 14 year old son about Mr. Davis! He did a project on him also. It is wonderful to have children interested in music. You all are really into music when you reach back to the classics. Makes me feel good! Wish you all much success!

This is what music ought to be in 2018. We've more resources to work with than Sammy did in his time yet he sounds far more refined than we do.

I love ppl who are just naturally talented no effort needed just a pure gift... wish I was talented like that 😭😭😭

My granddaddy brings up about Sammy Davis Jr from time to time. Always new about him... so i finally looked this song up & omg this is Marvelous!

what a great performer!not many people have that sort of charisma anymore.

I loved Sammy, what a wonderful friend. He and the rest of the boys were always good to me and their fans. Oh, how the world misses all those songs they used to sing. I sang once with Sammy, and now, carry on myself. Thanks fella's for trusting a kid (back then) to carry on. James, Screen Actors Guild, Singers' Guild.

Music today WILL NEVER live up to the Music of Yesteryear.This was when singer's sang and did not use teleprompters or auto tune.Music was real and from the heart.Sammy you and the Rat Pack were Music Thanks for the music and the memories.Wish you guys were still here to teach these so called singers how music is supposed to sound like.

well, what a big voice and what a sensational big band-arrangement, many many thanks for that !! Thank you Mr.Sammy Davis Jr.

Wish i could have met you. Such a sincere, genuine, stand up guy. RIP Sammy.

Music at its prime. Sammy boy, the best singer comedian to grace this world ever. You keep swinging upstairs brother, rest in peace.

i always recognised the song but never realised sammy did it,certainly brings back some good memories. pitty theres no songs like it today,could do with some cheer in the world today. love the song.

Pure Class and Pure Talent! Nobody will ever replace or replicate Sammy.

Those cats could sing, swing, and slide, and make it look effortless. Incredible talent.

I can't believe its been 25 years since he left. One of the greatest entertainers ever! You won't see his like again. Thanks for all the performances Sammy!

sammy was the greatest! we loved him! my 10 year old son wanted to hear this and he loves it!

Thank you Chris Evans for playing this every Friday morning to make your morning that bit easier!

Sammy, as far as I'm concerned, was the greatest entertainer of the last 100 years.

To Mr. Sammy...you did a hell of job making this song to remember you by!! RIP-Amen

Sammy looks like my beloved Grandfather...why can't music sound like this anymore?

Thanks Sammy, you were the BEST!!! We have no entertainers like you anymore.

Oh how the years are Fleeting! I was about 16 years old when this classic hit the list. One of my favorites. Many broken hearts and years later - I am now a Soldier for Almighty God - and author of 18 books for God! God is our Candy man who makes our world taste good! Godspeed! #RobertRiteBooks

Sammy, Dean, Frank. All the great voices gone. This is REAL MUSIC. :-) Thank you for sharing.

This song reminds me of my childhood. I was a little girl when this song came out and I thought Sammy Davis Jr. made this song for me and my brothers.

Imádom gyerekkorom óta - ami pedig nem most volt! Sok híresség példaképe volt!

Wasn't just that Sammy Davis Junior was such a good performer, it was also because he was clearly enjoying what he was doing that made him so great.,

Shame he had throat cancer, his voice was beautiful. RIP Sammy Davis Jr.

The one an only Sammy Davis Jr singer dancer comedian actor he could do it all ! R.I.P. Sammy ! You were a class act ! You'll be missed !

Legend. Greatly missed.

I came here because of m&ms 75th anniversary. but I came here to listen to the song 2!!

every single time i find a gem like this on youtube, i cant help but feel i was born into the wrong generation, i was 3 when this man died.. *sigh*... i wish i was born in the 1930's, then i coulda seen almost all the things i love in person.. well, asuming i lived about 70 years,

the greatest entertainer of all time. Nobody will ever come close ever again

MY GOD HE WAS GREAT.

poor guy only lived to be 65, god bless his soul. he will forever be a legend

Gracious. I like that . WOW...Thank you

My first concert was with Sammy. RIP Mr Bojangles

as a child i loved this song am 50 and still sing along with MR. SAMMY DAVIS JR

When I was a kid I thought Sammy was the Candy Man singing about himself. How could such a tiny man hold all that talent?

I wish we had entertainers like this today xD I'd much rather go to these things than a concert or something

There was only one! For those of us that saw him..we are truly the lucky ones!

@6REYAL6kcirb I'm sitting here smiling from ear to ear. What a treat available to us all at the tap of a finger on THE GREAT YOU TUBE.Sammy was possibly the greatest all around entertainer in history. Brilliant. I was all ready for him to break into a tap dance too. We miss ya Samala!

Amongst the best of all time, a pure entertainer!

sammy Davis Jr. will live forever because of his talent!

They dont make Entertainers like the Master any more. I love u Sammy and miss u Sweet Dreams, Mr. Bojangles/Candy Man.

Sammy had it all, song, dance, charisma and personality.

Sammy Davis Jr.-Talent, grace, courage, kindness, and sorely missed. Godspeed Sammy!!

His talent = the Best Ever. magnificent voice, dancing ability and superb acting ability. All-ways the best!

What a performer he was, leaves you with your mouth wide open.

My day has just been made... Ty, Sammy!

a brother 47 years a song of 3 brothers home a country of a war ! brothers

Sammy is so cool, I miss him oh and the 70's best decade for music ever!

Sammy was such a treasure. Thanks for sharing.

as you watch this you often think at first How corny!! and then later you realize how much you absolutely love this tune!!

Love you Sammy, you never fail to put a smile on my face. Can't ask for more :) ❤️

I love Sammy Davis Jr. - Don't get the comparisons people make - No one compares to him

What a voice..performer...comedian...TRULY COOL DUDE!!!!****

I got to meet Sammy in late 70's in Vail, Co. He was very friendly and of course funny! I got his autograph but had lost it by the end of the day. What can I say, I was just a kid. I have this song on a n old 45!

I haven't been born yet, and I won't be born for another 2 years, and I like this music.

Great to here again, Great Singer Sammy Davis !

One of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Ah Sammy, I did a song of his and it was amazing. This just keeps me believing that music is sooo different today than what it was back when the Rat Pack lived.

Big voice, smooth and full, what a joy to hear to listen to!

Super voice!👍Thanks!👏👏👏

The Greatest Candyman Ever Thank You Mr.Sammy#33

To markflem and all viewer's, I would like to take the video clip to honor and dedicate it to my Dad of whom passed away from pneumonia b / lung cancer early saturday morning.

This was always such a fun song...and Sammy Davis was the one who could do this song justice.... I am so glad to have found this on You Tube....I love it and I want to hear music like this all of the time.

Thank you for posting this...so very much...
