In my travels, I've found that Previn appears to have worked with the following folks as an arranger for their vocal recordings.
Dinah Shore
Diahann Carroll
Julie London
Julie Andrews
Have I missed anybody else he's worked with (non-film)?

Well, if you include film work, you might throw in the vocal cast of IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER, for which Previn is credited with the arrangements. That would add Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Michael Kidd, Jud Conion, Dolores Gray, Lou Lubin, et al.

Well, we could be here all day if I include film work, since he did so many musicals.
I'm actually interested in non-film. Thanks for the reminder since I failed to put that in the original post.

The greatest of them all, and I forgot.
Thanks, Erik.

Previn conducted many musicals, but I only found one where he was credited with the arrangements.

He also worked with Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra (and ironically, would marry Sinatra's ex wife Mia Farrow).
Which albums were these? I'm only able to find instances of Previn on piano as part of the MGM orchestra playing for IT HAPPENED IN BROOKLYN. For Lee, all I can find are rumors of a planned recording.

This just in:
Mel Torme, in his autobiography, credits Previn as providing several arrangements for his "It's a Blue World" album.
(And as Jack Benny famously said after his very first introduction on radio: "I will now pause while everyone says 'Who cares?'"  )
