"Who Can I Turn To?" (alternatively titled "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)") is a song written by English composer-lyricists Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and first published in 1964.

Background

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.

Tony Bennett recordings

The song was most successfully recorded by Tony Bennett. "Who Can I Turn To?" became a hit, reaching #33 on the US pop singles chart and the top 5 of the Adult Contemporary chart. So fuelled, the musical arrived on Broadway for a successful run, and the song became one of Bennett's staples. He later re-recorded it as a duet with Queen Latifah in 2011 on Duets II, and with Gloria Estefan for his 2012 album, Viva Duets. Bennett continued to perform the song in concert until his retirement in 2021 at the age of 95.
