Song of the Day: Who Can I Turn To

The song of the day for Saturday, March 5, 2016 is “Who Can I Turn To?”

About This Song

Today’s song, “Who Can I Turn To?”, was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley in 1964 for the British musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd. Producer David Merrick saw the production in London and decided to bring it to America, starting first with a nationwide tour. Around that time, Tony Bennett made this recording, which was a hit for him; this helped bring attention to the musical and helped ensure its success in the US.
