The soundtrack was first released by Paramount Records in 1971.[1]
Sammy Davis Jr. recorded the song "The Candy Man" which became his only number-one hit. It would spend three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart starting June 10, 1972, and two weeks at the top of the easy-listening chart.[2]
On October 8, 1996, Hip-O Records (in conjunction with MCA Records, which by then owned the Paramount catalog), released the soundtrack on CD as a "25th Anniversary Edition".[3] In 2016, UMe and Geffen Records released a 45th Anniversary Edition LP.[4]
