#SLS (2nd one) “Turn Around”

me, dad, brother

I’m about halfway through the videos and this song came to mind for the prompt of Dads. Not sure how many of you remember this song from a Kodak tv commercial, but I remember thinking of it on the playground when in elementary school. If this song doesn’t get you smackdab in the feels, you have no heart.

I miss my dad.

Turn Around” is a song written by Malvina Reynolds, Alan Greene, and Harry Belafonte and made popular by Dick and Dee Dee. The song was produced by Don Ralke and The Wilder Brothers.

Jim Adams is the host of Song Lyric Sunday. This week Jim wants songs about dads and/or grads.

      I remember the commercial I posted, but I think there were more than one with the song. Also, there is another song by that name that I forgot about until searching for a video. Not sure where it was first used, but it was used here.
