A question about easy listening music?

I do listen to traditional jazz and show tunes more than anything else. At times I’ll listen to easy listening on music cable channel.
My question: Whether it be Percy Faith, Bert Kaempfert, Montavani etc. conducting the orchestra most of this credit should go to the arranger, correct?
Great answer; but the whole piece goes nowhere (I’m guessing) without that arrangement.
