Candice Caleb (November 13, 1961 – May 6, 2016), known professionally as Candye Kane, was an American blues singer and entertainer. She entered a successful music career after working in the adult entertainment industry briefly in the early-mid 80’s, during porn's golden age. Candye was recognized as an award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer in the blues and jazz genres. She was included in the books Rolling Stone Guide to Jazz and Blues, Elwood's Blues by Dan Aykroyd, The Blueshound Guide to Blues, AllMusic, and other blues books and periodicals.

Kane was born Candice Caleb in Ventura, California. She was raised in Highland Park, a Los Angeles suburb.

Candye was accepted into the USC's music conservatory's junior opera program in 1976, but she disliked opera and dropped out. She became part of the punk rock music scene of the early 1980s. She started country punk bands and befriended and shared the stage with musicians as diverse as Black Flag, Social Distortion, James Harman, The Circle Jerks, Los Lobos, The Blasters and Lone Justice. In 1985, she caught the attention of CBS/Epic A&R Head, Larry Hanby. She was signed to a developmental deal and recorded her first demo with Grammy winner Val Garay. Kane was initially marketed as a country singer, but CBS dropped her upon learning of her controversial past.
