Wikipedia:
The words and music for A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation) were written by Marty Robbins. The arranger and conductor for the January 1957 recording session was Ray Conniff, an in-house conductor/arranger at Columbia. Robbins had demanded to have Conniff oversee the recording after his earlier hit, Singing the Blues, had been quickly eclipsed on the charts by Guy Mitchell’s cover version, which was scored and conducted by Conniff in October 1956.
