"Candy" is a song by funk group Cameo, released as the second single from their 1986 album ''Word Up!''. It reached number twenty-one on the Hot 100 and number one on the R&B charts in 1987 in the U.S. The song has recently been featured in the video game ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' and can be heard on the Bounce FM radio station in the game. The song features a solo by saxophonist Michael Brecker. The song has been sampled by various artists, including 2Pac ("All Bout U", featured on his album ''All Eyez on Me''), Will Smith ("Candy", on his album ''Big Willie Style''), and Mariah Carey ("Loverboy", on the soundtrack to the film ''Glitter''); the latter song would reach #2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 2001. The Black Eyed Peas sampled it for the song "Ba Bump" from their album ''Monkey Business''. Cameo tried to capitalize on "Candy"'s success by remixing the song with new lyrics as the song "Honey" from their next album, ''Machismo''. The music video, shot in HD, was directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński. Set against a backdrop of Times Square and various neon signs, the video features a high level of video compositing, with multiple layers of the band members and dancers appearing on screen at once. The song appears in the 1999 film ''The Best Man''. British comedian Javone Prince finishes each episode of The Javone Prince Show with 'Candy Time', during which the audience and cast dance to the song. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Candy (Cameo song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
