'''Candy''' were a [[rock music|rock]] band featuring the future [[Guns N' Roses]] guitarist [[Gilby Clarke]]. Original members were lead vocalist [[Kyle Vincent]], bassist [[Jonathan Daniel]], drummer [[John Schubert]], and guitarist [[Geoff "Rexx" Siegel]]. Clarke replaced Siegel after 6 months. Their music could be described as [[glam metal]] or raw, gritty [[hard rock]].
Their only album, titled ''Whatever Happened To Fun'', was released in 1985, when the band toured the United States opening up for [[Rick Springfield]] and later [[Corey Hart]].
The music video for the single ''Whatever Happened To Fun,'' directed by [[Dominic Orlando]], was filmed on location in [[Hollywood]], with Candy performing to a street crowd and a mural of famous old Hollywood stars. The video also depicts a fallen [[Statue of Liberty]], its inclusion requested by the band as an homage to the film [[Planet of the Apes]].
Later that year, Gilby Clarke replaced Kyle Vincent as lead vocalist, and guitarist [[Ryan Roxie]] joined the lineup.
After Gilby left, the rest of the band members joined up with new lead vocalist Shane and became the [[Electric Angels]].
