The arranger of Danke Schoen was Jimmie Haskell.

Here are my sources for the information:

"Album Notes:
On [the album] "Danke Schoen," orchestra arranged and conducted by
Richard Behrke, except the song "Danke Schoen," which was arranged and
conducted by Jimmie Haskell."

Oldies: Collectables: Wayne Newton: Danke Schoen
http://www.oldies.com/product/view.cfm/id_28382.html?print=true


"Mr. Haskell has worked with most the greats of the music business,
from Elvis Presley to Tina Turner. He arranged the classic Wayne
Newton song "Danke Schoen", and has done arrangements for Billy Joel,
Michael Jackson, Bobby Darin, Fats Domino, and Neil Diamond."

I'm surprised.  I thought it was either Nelson Riddle or Pete Rugolo.

Thanks for the tip and the five stars.  Iy is interesting that Haskell
apparently didn't have a lasting relationship with Newton after they
collaborated on that mega-hit.
