Additional comments and sources

The Candy Man, originally recorded by the Mike Curb Congregation in 1971, from the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, was covered by Sammy Davis Jr. in 1972 (MGM 14320), a #1 hit on the Hot 100. In fact Davis' vocals were dubbed into the original recording. (Source: The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits, by Joel Whitburn.)
