"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.
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.
In 1968, The Vogues released their remake as a single. This version was very successful, reaching the top ten of the Hot 100.
Other artists who have recorded this song include The Bachelors, The Bee Gees, 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.
