“Candy”
Song by Ray Charles
Sweet luxuriance swirls around Ray Charles’ recording of the 1944 hit song “Candy”. Slow and romantic, as many songs on his 1961 Dedicated To You LP, Ray’s “Candy” begins with a choir in its high register and a deliberate pace, setting the scene. It wasn’t released as a single by Ray Charles, so to hear it you’ll need a copy of the album.
