Sammy Davis, Jr. ~ The Candy Man

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I like that's it happy and cheerful sounding although I don't eat candy. smile There should be more songs like this now, and less negative and cynical ones.

This was written by Anthony Newley, who also wrote "Feeling Good". That's the song that Jennifer Hudson sings, for Weight Watchers.
