Turn Me On (Mark Dinning song)
"Turn Me On" is a song written by American songwriter and record producer Robert "Bob" Marcucci and performed by singer Mark Dinning. It was released as a single in 1961 on the MGM Records label.
The song is a pop ballad that tells the story of a young man's yearning for the affection of a woman he desires. The lyrics express a sense of vulnerability and longing. "Turn Me On" is characterized by Dinning's smooth vocals and a gentle, melodic arrangement.
While "Turn Me On" didn't achieve the same chart-topping success as some of Dinning's earlier hits, such as "Teen Angel," it remains a notable entry in his discography and is considered a representative example of early 1960s teen idol pop. It exemplifies the sentimental and romantic themes common in popular music of the era. The song has been included on various compilation albums featuring Dinning's work and songs from the early rock and roll period.
