Who Can I Turn To?

"Who Can I Turn To?" is a popular song.

It was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and published in 1964. The song was introduced in the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd, which struggled in the United Kingdom in 1964 and then made a tour of the United States later that year. Recorded by Tony Bennett, "Who Can I Turn To?" became a hit, reaching number 33 on the U.S. pop singles chart and the top 5 of the Adult Contemporary chart. So fueled, the musical arrived on Broadway for a successful run, and the song became one of Bennett's staples.

• There is another song by the same name, written by Alec Wilder and William Engvick. The Newly/Bricusse song is sometimes listed as "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)"

American tenor Jan Peerce recorded "Who Can I Turn To?" for his 1965 album Pop Goes Peerce. Dionne Warwick covered the song for her 1965 album, The Sensitive Sound of Dionne Warwick. Her version reached #62 pop and #34 R&B. Astrud Gilberto also recorded a version. Wynton Marsalis covered it on his first, eponymous album (1981).

The Astrud Gilberto recording was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas song "Like That" from their album "Monkey Business".

Harry Connick, Jr. included the song on his 2009 album, Your Songs.
