"Who Can I Turn To?" is a popular song. It may be titled "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)". 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. In 1964 Shirley Bassey recorded the song and released it as a single, however it failed to chart. 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. He later, re-recorded the song as a duet with Cuban-American pop superstar, Gloria Estefan as part of his 2012 album, Viva Duets.
Astrud Gilberto recorded a version that was sampled in The Black Eyed Peas song "Like That" from their album "Monkey Business".
The Sensitive Sound of Dionne Warwick is the fourth album by American singer singer Dionne Warwick, released in 1965 on the Scepter label. It was produced by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
The album is notable for including the singles "Who Can I Turn To" and "You Can Have Him". Also featured is cover of The Righteous Brothers' song "Unchained Melody". The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on November 29, 2011, by Collectables Records.
There is another song titled "Who Can I Turn To". It's written by Alec Wilder and William Engvick in 1941. It's much less well known.
Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And, after the day
The darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal, or borrow
my share of laughter
With you I could learn to
With you what a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away?
With you I could learn to
With you what a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away?
