  • Comment: Although there is presumed notability per WP:NSONGS as it did chart, there would need to be more information than this to make the topic notable or worthy of a standalone article. The "other recordings" section is subject to WP:COVERSONG says Template:Tq is only for quoting in talk and project pages. Do not use it in actual articles.. Simply the fact that other versions of a song exist is not notable. Also there's no infobox or categorisations present. See WP:SONGS for examples of how such articles should be laid out. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 15:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


"You Turned The Tables On Me" is a popular song composed by Louis Alter with lyrics by Sidney D. Mitchell. It was written for the 1936 film Sing, Baby, Sing, in which it was performed by Alice Faye.[1] The song was soon recorded by Benny Goodman (with vocal refrain by Helen Ward) for Victor Records[2] and topped many charts, reaching No. 3 on Your Hit Parade in November of that year.[3][4] Goodman later recorded the song again, this time with vocalist Martha Tilton, for the soundtrack of the 1956 biopic The Benny Goodman Story.[5] It has since been covered many times.
