"Candy Girl" is the title of a hit single recorded in 1963 by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Written by Larry Santos and produced by Bob Crewe, it is the first original Four Seasons single not composed by either Bob Gaudio or Bob Crewe. "Candy Girl" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #13 on the R&B chart.
The song tackles the subject of a girlfriend whose "love is so sweet". The Four Seasons song is a doo-wop styled ballad to a loving girlfriend ("I've been a searching all this wide world/Finally I found my/Candy Girl").
The B-side, "Marlena", was a mild hit in its own right: it reached #36 on the Hot 100. It was composed by Gaudio and produced by Crewe.
The Archies song "Sugar, Sugar," from 1969, includes lyrics: "Sugar, ah, honey, honey. You are my candy girl."
