"Ebony Eyes" is a song recorded by American singers Rick James and Smokey Robinson for the Gordy (Motown) label.
It was released in November 1983 as the third single from James' seventh studio album Cold Blooded.
First released on the album Cold Blooded, "Ebony Eyes" climbed the R&B chart and peaked at number 22.
Robinson was credited for singing the introduction, bridge, and other more calm verses while James sang the chorus.
"Ebony Eyes" begins with a simple beat which leads into a more complex rhythm and the vocals of both Robinson and uncredited background vocalist who repeat falsetto vocals twice before Robinson begins the opening verse.
