"Turn Around, Look at Me" is the name of a song written by Jerry Capehart.

In 1961, Glen Campbell released his version as a single. This was his first song to chart in the United States, hitting number sixty-two on the Billboard Hot 100.

Bee Gees' version

In 1964, while Bee Gees were yet in Australia, they released a version of the song that, however, it did not chart. They had been releasing some singles with songs composed by them, but Festival Records made them record songs from other artists.

The Vogues' version

In 1968, The Vogues released their remake as a single. This version was very successful, reaching number seven on the Hot 100.

Other Versions

In 1962, The Lettermen released their version as a single. It made it to number five on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, but the b-side of the single, "How Is Julie?," became the bigger hit.

Other artists who have recorded this song include The Bachelors and Esther Phillips.

In recent times, this song was featured in the film Final Destination 3. The song however was cut to only the first few lines, thus transforming it from a love song to the stalkers creed.
