Don't be so quick to believe us :D

"Turn Around" was written by Malvina Reynolds (1900-1978) and
was made popular by Harry Belafonte in the 1950s ... from
the album "Love Is A Gentle Thing."

Some info about Reynolds can be found at:

The lyrics can be found at:

It's no surprise that this is one of the most often
requested "Father Daughter" songs at weddings.

After about 30 minutes of searching I gave up on trying
to identify the current publisher/copyright holder.
A search for a Harry Belafonte songbook might provide
quicker results or a pointer in the right direction.
