These recordings are pure unadulterated pop songs. You may recognize the themes from several popular television shows such as ALL IN THE FAMILY ("Those Were the Days") and THE JEFFERSONS ("Movin' on Up"), while "The Candy Man" is associated as much with Davis as it is with the film WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. He coasts along with these cheerful tunes alongside vocal, synthesizer, electric guitar, and violin arrangements courtesy of Mike Curb. The popular ballad "That Old Black Magic" is given a hyper-disco treatment that sets a contemporarily funky tone suiting Sammy Davis Jr. to a T.   Compilation Appearances Greatest Hits Vol. 8-Have A Nice Day!
