The Candymen (or the Candy Men) were an American pop quintet active 1965–1972 which prefigured the Atlanta Rhythm Section. The group were managed by Dothan, Alabama producer-songwriter Buddy Buie, and included guitarists John Rainey Adkins (who was the mainstay of the live band), plus Barry Bailey and J.R. Cobb, singer Rodney Justo, drummer Robert Nix and keyboard player Dean Daughtry.[1] The band's chart singles included "Georgia Pines" (1967) and "Ways" (1968).[2] Their self-titled album peaked at No. 195 in the US.[3] They often performed as the backing band of Roy Orbison.[4] They opened for Pink Floyd during their first US Tour in 1967.
