Cosby show? Claire's song at end, "Candy"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There is a cosby show episode I saw a within the last few days on Nick, and I was wondering what the song was. . . Can anyone out there in internet land help?

It was an older jazzy tune (big surprise, right?) which sounded a bit like Big Momma Thorton, though I'm pretty sure it isn't . Anywho, the only lyrics I remember are her repeating "candy" eithier " I give him" or "he gives me".

Cliff goes up stairs, and Claire puts the song on the record player and Cliff sneaks back down to sit by her.
Claire and Cliff sit on the couch at the end of the episode and she mouths the words.

This is driving me nuts! I know the song and who sings it, but I can't remeber.
please help if you can.
Any help much appreciated.

"Candy" was sung by Big Maybelle. People often confuse the two but they really don't sound anything alike. That song is available on a Savoy Records reissue.
