Hi there

I'm curious to know where this vocal has come from:YouTube - Fred Falke - When I Look into Your Eyes

I'm pretty sure it's the R&B singer, Phil Perry. correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers

The song the line and the melody of "When i look into your eyes" is taken from a Lee Ritenour Song from the late 80's or early 90s called "If I'm dreaming". Hard to find, I just do a little research, i got it somewhere on tape, haven't heard it for a long time, but I singalong that song a lot of times. A beautiful tune.

Here are some facts on the above mentioned song, courtesy of Wikipedia:
"The following year, 1986, Ritenour released the album Earth Run, which featured him using the then-newly designed SynthAxe guitar. He used nine different guitars on the album, most notably the SynthAxe, his Valley Arts guitar, and his Gibson Chet Atkins acoustic. The album also featured long-time collaborator Phil Perry for the first time, on the track "If I'm Dreaming, Don't Wake Me" — a song also featuring David Foster and Maurice White."

Yeah, Maurice White and Martin Page were co-composers of this song, which has the very catching Earth, Wind & Fire groove with an irresistible melody. Phil Perry was the vocalist.
