(1 Customer Review)
The Candy Man most certainly could, as evidenced by this smartly compiled 20-track collection. Sammy Davis Jr., one of America's most intriguing and beloved entertainers, was adept at handling both classic pop tunes and smoky jazz standards, crooning them in a voice that could be smooth, pleasing, and irreverent. As an African-American Jew (with one eye, no less), Davis was undeniably a show business anomaly, but one listen to songs such "I've Gotta Be Me" or "Love Me or Leave Me," and his signature tunes "Mr. Bojangles" and "The Candy Man," proves that Davis's outsider status was a source of pride and creative energy, rather than an inhibitor.

$10.99 Suzanne Doucet"I devote my total being to whatever I'm doing," says award winning composer and producer Suzanne. This principle being the underlying factor in Doucet's success has seen her through many transitional phases of her illustrious career. It all began in West Germany where as a three year old, Doucet discovered an innate talent for all art forms. Instinctively, she was always drawing, playing music, singing or writing. By the age of 18, Suzanne was an established pop star in Germany. Her earliest songwriting ventures in 1966 centered on poetic lyrics dealing with life, love and other deep issues.

She was several times #1 in the German music charts.She also made her mark as a film composer, as an actress and a television host and was seen regularly on nationwide T.V. in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Suzanne had already traveled all Europe, the far East and the United States by the age of 25, when after recording a consciousness - expanding sound collage trilogy album 'Trip/Flip Out/Meditation' she took a sabbatical from the music business to go on a spiritual odyssey. After she returned from a trip to the Middle East, she developed her own style of new age music while exploring many areas of metaphysics including astrology, music therapy, tarot, yoga and the caballah. "This was my going within period," says Doucet. "My father a psychologist had studied with Carl Gustav Jung and this led to my researching the metaphysics of music, specifically the Pythagorean school of harmonics."After moving to the USA in 1983 Suzanne and her husband James Bell (a certified yogateacher and visual artist) established Only New Age Music the world's first ...
