Question
I am looking for an older song about candy. It is either i want candy or I like candy. I used to listen to it in the early 90s. I am guessing it came out in the 80s. maybe. Can't remember who sang it. do know it was a male.
thank you

Answer
Hello Denise,

Since "I Want Candy" was first released in 1965, by The Strangeloves in the USA, and by Brian Poole & The Tremeloes in the UK, it has been recorded by several singers and groups.

Have a look at the following site for a recording history of the song:

Expertise

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
