You've been noticing Hank Hunter's name with Phil's! I knew that listing the writers' credits would be beneficial for somebody!
I can't read the credits on the yellow promo MGM label you provided, but when I pulled up the shiny black MGM stock copy, it doesn't list an arranger. [[See attached link.)

If Mike Lewis is credited as Arranger, it's probably true, although if Connie did the actual producing, she probably reserved the right to override the arranger's charts. I wish I knew the extent to which Connie produced her records but I don't. I do know that Connie had a ton of hits, all of which were high quality. She also recorded her albums and singles in several different languages which increased her worldwide popularity.
And, yes, John, I Iove Connie Francis! I have all of her 50+ albums of which most are on CD.
