CANDY LIPS - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“candy lips” was written in 1926 by Cecil Mack with music by Con Conrad. One of the earliest significant recordings came in the late 1920s by dance-band vocalists who helped popularize it during the transition from acoustic to electrical recording.

Later interpretations by swing-era singers kept the tune in circulation. The lyrics use playful imagery to portray lighthearted romance, while the melody follows a clear popular-song layout with catchy, stepwise motion that suits both crooning and small-ensemble jazz settings.
