Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Andrea Bocelli performing When I Fall In Love with Helene Fischer and Chris Botti on trumpet live in 2012.
You obviously love to listen to the immensely talented Andrea Bocelli as well as Chris Botti.

Nat King Cole sings "When I Fall in Love"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfAb0gNPy6s

Song background "Victor Young, a film composer, and Heyman, "Body and Soul" lyricist, wrote the song for the 1952 war film One Minute To Zero, starring Robert Mitchum and Ann Blyth. While Jeri Southern was the first to record the song, it was Doris Day who scored the first hit that same year.
Nat King Cole recorded this for his 1956 album Love Is the Thing and performed it in the movie Istanbul the following year. It didn't chart in the US, but was a hit in the UK, where it peaked at #2. Daughter Natalie Cole used her late father's vocals to create a virtual duet featured on her 1996 Stardust album. The cover won Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best Instrumental Arrangement with Accompanying Vocal(s) that year. She also recorded a contemporary R&B version for an earlier album, Everlasting (1987).
Celine Dion and Clive Griffin recorded a duet in 1993 for the hit soundtrack to Sleepless in Seattle, a romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Their version, arranged by David Foster and Jeremy Lubbock, won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) in 1994. It was also nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, but lost to "A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme)" by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle.
Riding high on the success of his career-making single, "Never Gonna Give You Up," Rick Astley was angling for another chart-topper in his native UK with a 1987 cover of Nat King Cole's version, which was approaching its 30th anniversary. But EMI was anxious for their act, Pet Shop Boys, to land a Christmas #1 (a prestigious feat in the UK) for "Always On My Mind," so the label re-released Cole's single to undermine Astley's. It worked, and Astley's version peaked at #2, while Cole's re-issue landed at #4."
