  • Jonathan Joseph "Candy" Candido had a trick voice that he was able change from soprano, alto, tenor, and very low bass. He sang novelty songs in Ted Fio Rio's orchestra in the 1930's. He also played bass and recorded in the duo "Candy and Coco". He performed on Jimmy Durante's radio program where often he uttered his signature line, "I'm feelin' mighty low" in his deepest voice. He appeared in some films and performed as a voice actor, mostly for Disney. I heard him (along with Mel Blanc) as the voice of a cartoon pelican in a regional TV commercial for National Beer in the 1960's. He is introduced in this clip by Master of Ceremonies, Leo Carrillo, who, with Duncan Renaldo, played "Pancho" in the Cisco Kid syndicated TV series

      Thanks for your comment, John. I fondly remember your grandfather beginning with his TV appearances in the early 1950's. I got to meet him while he was serving as Good-Will Ambassador of the Great Allentown Fair in Pennsylvania. I asked him if he was still doing voice-overs for National Beer commercials. I was living in Maryland in the late 1960's and National was a popular local beer in that area. In their commercials, your grandfather, working with Mel Blanc, used his famous basso-profundo voice for a cartoon pelican. After I asked my question, his face lit up; and, he immediately brought me over to my father, who was an official with the Fair, and told me, "Tell your father who's your favorite character in the National beer commercials." I, of course said, "the pelican!" My father, never having seen one of those commercials, was rather nonplussed. (Actually, your grandfather had never seen any of them either.) My father and your grandfather (who shared the same birthday--December 25th) became great friends. In 1988, your grandfather recorded a very entertaining tribute to my father and my mother, which was presented at their fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration. I uploaded it for you to watch:

    An amazing, and sadly forgotten talent. Check out the video where he congratulates friends on their 50th anniversary. A nice man to boot.

    Sounds just like the Disney cartoons (band and all) Candido would do voiceovers for by the end of the 1930s.

    He sounds a bit like Cookie Monster I wonder if that’s where Frank Oz got the voice from

      Thanks for your comment, Nick. I can't find any information on Frank's vocal range or who inspired him; but, I think "Candy" would beat "Cookie" on the low end by two octaves.😩

      Matt, I'd be glad to upload the entire nineteen and a half minute short, "Star Night at the Cocoanut Grove" (MGM 1934); but, it will not be in HD quality. That's because I transferred it from my DVR using the on-board analog capture card that came with my HP computer. If that's OK with you, I'll upload it first chance I get. For future reference, if you have any suggestions for capturing video in HD quality, I'd appreciate them.

    Hey pianopappy, do you have Mel Tillis on Austin City Limits in 1980? It has the funding credits, and the Austin City Limits Season 5 opening sequence at the beginning.
