Answer
Dear Gerry,

I believed RICHARD SANDERSON never sang YOUR EYES. He sang REALITY from the 1980 movie LA BOUM (THE PARTY) (released in 1984 as READY FOR LOVE in the Philippines). The group who sang YOUR EYES was COOK DA BOOKS from the 1982 movie LA BOUM 2, also starring SOPHIE MARCEAU (READY FOR LOVE 2 in the Philippines, released 1985). Of course, JOJO ALEJAR recorded it to promote the movie.

The next song is titled THAT'S THE WAY OF FRIENDS by PAUL PARRISH from his 1980 album SONG FOR A YOUNG GIRL.

Maraming salamat po !
