  • 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!

  • Amazing !

  • WHO CAN?! THE CANDY MAN!

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

  • Christina Aguilera ?? ¬¬

  • Wow I actually heard this at KidsMusic or something. That programme where kids sing classics? I think that was cancelled as well? :( Can someone refresh my memory on what was the programme called?

    I had no idea Sammy sang it too! :)

  • What a class act, thanks SAMMY!!

  • I always liked this...but long ago thought it was corny....NOW ,I groove freely ! Stand the test of time!!!!

  • I always liked this...but long ago thought it was corny....NOW ,I groove freely ! Stand thevtestof time!!!!

  • Now this was music ,not like all the trash singers nowadays. Wish the government would wake up and cancel all the trash seen in TV and dirty slang music kids nowadays sing and like.Come on everybody lets take our nation back.

  • 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.

  • genious

  • Of all the great songs why did this become Sammy's most known song.

  • I wish I had been alive during the days of Sammy and the rest of the pack.

  • Still watching in 2011

  • I miss the good old days!

  • Sammy, Frank , Dean, ALL REAL ENTERTAINERS!!!.... they don´t come like this anymore...

  • einfach genial =)

    

  • 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.

  • i'm 11 years old and i love old music!

  • When my daughter was small thats all she wanted to hear. The man was a great man, and the song would put my daughter to sleep. LadyProwler100

  • Thanks Samuel Gorge, for make the world sound good

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

  • Good mood song ;) Heard it on the radio...and its great ;)

  • I expose my kids to this music. My Grandmother introduced me.

    -Gotta luv 'The Rat Pack'

  • Amazing music. Like all the other of its kind, the "I'm Xteen and I like this..." compliments. Shut the hell up, the music is timeless, and when you are dead random Xteen year olds will still be enjoying it, so stop overestimating your own importance.

  • @Psychonaut117 well by the time I am dead i guarantee this music will be almost impossible to find :/

  • @Psychonaut117 lol thank you!! well said.. 

  • marlon wayans impersonation of him was the best

  • Who on earth can say they dislike this?

    I <3 Sammy and the whole Rat Pack.

  • Who are the 18 knobs who gave this a thumbs down?

  • The candy man is a weed-dealer. :)

  • Who can take the trash out?

  • @lessiv Stomp it down for you??

  • the man; one of the greats of all time; great song

  • legend

    

  • This eras music makes me cry. Cuase all modern music is just, " SHE LEFT ME!~ IM SAD!~ OH THAT GIRL I LOVED HER SO!~" and " you where talking to her and just a bunch bull shit!~ IhateIhateIhateIhate myyyyyyy lieeeefffff!~". But I love the technology. I love the 30s - 70s.

  • @LoZOoTSaga true, true

  • True story. In the '70's Sammy was good friends with my neighbors across the hall in DC. Met him twice. Boring in the morning over coffee. But crazy when drunk in the evening! He came with his hostess to get ice cubes and started chasing my beloved cat all over the big apartment! No matter what I hear or see, I see Sammy Davis, Jr. chasing Mr. Mac - because he wanted to throw him off the balcony! I love the talent, but I can tell the world he hated cats!

  • @johoro100 cool story and memory.

  • @johoro100 Well, that's better than being boring when drunk and crazy over coffee...

  • @johoro100 Thats Amazing!!! Love it!! But I have 6 cats and He would love them......If Not? Put them outside and pour him another drink!!! Great Stuff!!

  • @johoro100 thats interesting :P

  • MR. CANDY MAN MR DAVIS WOW YOUR SUCH A TRUE LEGEND,, DOUG IS THERE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN TRY HIS HAM HOCKS I MISS HIS COOKING ALL OF YOU ENJOYING HIS MAC-CHEESE, GREENS, CORNBREAD, MIAMI JAMES I KNOW U LIKE OTHER THINGG, LADY-C KISS KATIE,, MISS U ALL LITTLE LETTIE BIGGS

  • Sammy, of all the members of "The Rat Pack",you were the coolest;I think so, anyway.

  • 15 yars old and knows that all that other music that other pepole make is trash.

  • Hey "grapeswearbikinis" I agree too!  This is MUSIC. This is an ENTERTAINER!! This is great SINGING!!! =D Hey, does anybody know what tv show this is?

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

  • @farscapebabe Not ALL are gone. We still have Tony Bennett.

  • @Alikah1 Yes Tony is still with us but as far as the Rat Pack they are no more. We just don't have the great voices of the 40's 50's and 60's any more. Thank you for your reply. :-)

  • Why's everyone come on these videos and think people care how old they are???

  • @elquicko It does add some context to how much the person appreciates the musician if they know of and like the music of a musician who died long before they were even born. If you're a teen, I guess your expected to listen to Gaga & Bieber eg. But if you like Sammie Davis Jr., that says a lot about that artist. IMO

  • The orchestra conducter set the beat too fast, but Sammy made it work 'cause He's a STAR!!! If it was me, I would have stopped, given the finger-snapping beat to start, but Sam wouldn't have embarrassed anyone. He was Great!

  • Such a Legend. His legacy will live on forever.

  • 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.

  • I wish he'd had a part in the musical. He would've been a whole lot better than the guy that sings it in the film.

  • This song makes me want some candy!

  • Simply one of the best ever to do it in the Entertainment business, wish you were still here with us sammy. So you could let us all know how to really give people their monies worth.

  • im 13 years old and im a big fan of his music

  • i love this song, does anyone know where i could get a version of sammys song summertime, its not even on youtube.

  • SAMMY!!!

  • hay wey... que feo esta...

    somebody knows who's the original author of The candy man?

  • @foxpain

    It was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

  • They don`t make entertainers like this anymore

  • Sammy made more bread off this one tune than all his other recordings.

  • i want a timemachine to see him!! from a 13 years boy! :D

  • ‹(•¿•)› Candy Man Can ‹(•¿•)›

  • ‹(•¿•)› Sammy was the Candy Man ‹(•¿•)›

  • 16 people don't like candy...

  • - (0 ) - ( 0 ) -

  • He took a perfectly gay song and somehow made it even more gay. Quite an achievement!

  • DAMN! THIS MAN COULD SWING!!!!!

  • So sammys gone, elvis, mj, james brown, ray charles. Sad face :(

  • Going to a concert from Sammy must have been a great evening, a real show, real entertainment, a great feeling, with a little smoke and drink :-)

    A time when the air was still clean and the sex was dirty.

    I am 16 years old btw ;-)

  • time less grate song

  • I'd love a goblet like that!

  • 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.

  • @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!

  • This bunch of comments may be the sorriest ever posted. The sheer stupidity, homophobia and prejudice on here is fucking mind boggling even if it is posted to get attention only. I'll bet the reporting of alien encounters has dropped since youtube came online. Any civilization intelligent enough to travel light years in space would be frightened to death of you shit for brains mutherfuckers that post things about race and the fact that you believe something because it was on wikipedia.

  • @kurtizzyflush What has alien's got to do with Sammy jnr?? lol

    Go watch flying geese videos. What you think, your alien buddies are gona consider you more intellegent than the other poster's?

    Youre another whiner and so am I.

  • @JoeMasca You missed the gist of my post by a distance that cannot be measured.

  • @kurtizzyflush I might have, lol.
