Who arranged these Dionne songs?
In the soundtrack to "The Love Machine", Dionne Warwick sings two songs: "Amanda" and "He's Moving On". Although neither song was written by Bacharach & David, the team did produce these two songs. Who arranged these songs? I assume that Artie Butler, who was the composer of the music score and conducted the rest of the album's music did the arranging, but I'm not sure. Anyone know? It seems kind of unusual that at that time (1970, I believe), they would produce Dionne Warwick tracks that they did not themselves write, much less not do the arranging. I know Dionne did the "Soulful" album at this time and that it did not involve Bacharach & David in any way. Thanks for any help!

AMANDA..
When I first heard this song I was convinced it was by Bacharach/David
but I was wrong (as usual).....it's by Mark Lindsay and Artie Butler
great arrangement, and a "haunting" performance from Dionne.......

Re: AMANDA..
I like this song... sounds like someone trying to definitely copy the unique Bacharach style.blueonblue wrote:When I first heard this song I was convinced it was by Bacharach/David
