Bridges Georges McGibbon Lewis (12 November 1918 – 7 September 2001)[1] professionally known under pen name Bunny Lewis, also known professionally under various pseudonyms was a London-based manager, record producer and composer and music manager whose songwriting abilities were used in a number of films. Sometimes this coincided with involvement in films of musicians whom he personally managed, most notably the actor and singer, Craig Douglas.[2] He also co-composed the 1954 song "Cara Mia", which was a bestseller. Authorship was accredited to 'Tulio Trapani and Lee Lange'; Lee Lange was the pseudonym for David Whitfield's producer, Lewis, and Tulio Trapani was the pen name of the song's other co-writer and arranger, Mantovani.[3]
