    Eddie Murphy, such a talent. He started doing stand-up in Long Island comedy clubs when he was just 15.
    Debuted as an extra in the 1980-81 season of Saturday Night Live after auditioning six times. Hilarious comedy career, does impressions, laugh you cannot forget. Actor, singer. Eddie's got it all. He hasstarred in so many famous movies. Keep having fun on the Eddie journey.

    Eddie was doing standup on Long Island in his early teens.
    He became a massive star at 18 when he joined SNL in 1981. He started making films like Trading Places, Coming to America and Beverly Hills Cop when he was only 21!

    Eddie Murphy is the GREATEST at impressions, but also has a real singing voice. He also played Rick James on SNL, so Rick James wrote this specifically for Eddie. Radio Stations were EXTREMELY apprehensive when it was about to drop. BUT, It was 3-Weeks on the Charts in the #2 Spot!! You can tell he’s nervous @ the beginning. But, he lets it fly pretty quick!!

    Eddie was in Beverly Hills Cop I, II, and III… plus the movies 48 Hours and Another 48 Hours, both cop comedy-dramas.
    Eddies singing came after he was an established box office hit maker, but before all of his critically acclaimed movies

    Eddie's stand up is a lot different than his work as an actor and singer. He was hysterical, but for the time he said some outlandish things. If you are interested, his two specials were Delirious (1983) and Raw (1987). If you watch them, watch Delirious first.

    • @donaldseale2700
      @donaldseale2700 Місяць тому +1

    Rick James!! Super Freak is a great suggestion. Rick James was huge in the 80s. Very much dance music. He had a series of health issues in the 90s and passed in the early 2000s.
    Eddie Murphy was introduced as a comedian, a singer, and actor. His SNL character Mister Robinson was great.

    The guy in the wig is Rick James, big star in the 80s. Super Freak is one of his biggest hits. As with Eddie's stand-up acts, "Delirious" is definitely his best stuff. You can find the whole act on YT, it's almost two hours long.

    Glad you’re back, Britt. The guy with the blonde hair is Rick James. MC Hammer used a Rick James riff (from Rick’s song, “super freak“) as the hook to his song “U Can’t Touch This.” I didn’t think Eddie’s voice sounded great when this song came out in the mid 80s, but I think this song has held up pretty well.

    Eddie Murphy's big break cam on SNL when he was 19 years old. He was brilliant - created so many characters and had us ROLLING - so clever and irreverent. Tons of great movies - and especially you need to see Dreamgirls. He was nominated for an Oscar for his dramatic musical role. It also stars Jennifer Hudson (who won an Oscar for her role), Jamie Foxx, and Beyonce, among others.

If you are going to react to Eddie's standup comedy, check out "Delirious" and "Raw" those are his most famous ones.

    The fact that Shrek is the 1st thing you think of for Eddie Murphy definitely shows how young you are. You mentioned Boomerang which is a good movie but he has many more like 48 Hours, Trading Places, Coming To America, Beverly Hills Cop 1&2, Harlem Nights, The Golden Child, The Nutty Professor 1&2, and Life. You can also see him do some singing in Dream Girls. He also did two standups in the 80's, the first one was Delirious and the other one was Raw. The other guy that was singing in this video was the legendary Rick James who also has a small role in the movie Life that I mentioned earlier.

    Eddie was a comedian 1st, than an actor, then he tried singing. How could you forget 48Hrs, Trading Places, Golden Child...... So many great movies. That guy in the golden wig is Rick James. I Love Your Reactions! ALOHA from Manoa Valley, Honolulu, HI🌴🌴🍍🤙

    Ok, I love Eddie Murphy as donkey too, and 48 hours is awesome, but you have to see Eddie Murphy in ‘Coming To America’. He plays like 5 characters, and it’s just fun and funny and sweet.

    Eddie Murphy the actor/comedian came out first. He joined Saturday Night Live, I think in 1981.

    The guy with the long hair is the late great Rick James, who wrote and produced that song for Eddie Murphy, as well as part of his debut album in 1984. I believe he released about three albums, his last one in 1993, I believe. He was a legitimate singer, and this song, Party All The Time, actually charted on Billboard, in the pop category.

    In the mid 80's a lot of actors got into singing, Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson and Patrick Swayze come to mind.
    Yeah the guy with the blonde hair, Rick James. His career took a nose dive a couple of years after this. He was arrested, charged, and convicted on drug charges, kidnapping, and assault on at least two women. Served two of four years in Folsom Prison. He passed away in 2004 from a heat attack at age 56 from years of drug abuse.

    He actually did a song with Michael Jackson:
    "Whatzupwitu" (pronounced "what's up with you") is a 1993 R&B song by Eddie Murphy, featuring Michael Jackson. It is included as the sixth track on Murphy's third studio album Love's Alright. Jackson decided to participate in the song and video since he thought the lyrics had a positive message.[1]

    My best friend and I used to go out every weekend and we would stop at this little dive bar and play a couple games of table shuffleboard and play this song on the jute box before heading out to our favorite clubs. Loved this song back then. Really got us in the mood to go party!

    I would stay up and watch him on SNL. He had some great skits "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" and Gumby "I'm Gumby dammit!" come to mind. My first Eddie Murphy movie in the theater was Trading Places (1983). I was 12 years old. I know it's an R rated film but I had permission from my parents and watched it with my friend and his dad. Great reaction! Always loved this song. Start with the stand up comedy movie "Delirious." Check out the Ice Cream Man bit.

  • @malalaz66

    There were three songs he cut for his comedy albums this was the serious song, the second song a parody of the song Enough is enough by Streisand (Barbara) and Summer (Donna). But he sings it as buckwheat from the little rascals and Richard Simmons the third song is boogie in your butt. Knowing Eddie Murphy‘s comedy probably gives you a hint about the words.

    Eddie learned to sing by doing impressions. Elvis, James Brown, etc..being able to do so many voices, it wasn’t surprising he could sing for real. Comedy shows to watch “Delerius” “Raw”.

    That is Rick James singing with Eddie, one of the classic funk artists of the 70's and 80's. Check out his hits "Super Freak", "Give It To Me Baby"' " Mary Jane"' "You And I"', and the ballad "Ebony Eyes" with Smokey Robinson.

    Eddie started as a standup, then became HUGE as a cast member of SNL. From that he started in movies and recorded music. If you don’t know who Rick James is (“that guy with the wig”) then that’s a rabbit hole you MUST go down!

    You don't know who Rick James is? The blonde guy who produces this Eddie Murphy smash. Does "Super Freak" ring a bell? Eddie did SNL in the early 80's then moved to movies like Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop. He also did comedy albums.

  • @xzonia1

    It's really Eddie singing. Lol. Part of the reason for this video of him singing in the studio was to prove it was him singing. :) That's Rick James singing with him (Super Freak singer and his music producer). I think most people "discovered" Eddie Murphy from his days on SNL. He might have done stand up first; not sure. I certainly heard of him on SNL first and watched his stand up shortly thereafter. People couldn't get enough of Eddie! And everything he did was gold. You should really watch him play Mr. Robinson (spoof of Mr. Rogers) and Gumby (do you know who Gumby is???) on SNL. I laughed so hard at those bits as a kid!!! X)
    I think his first stand up special was called Delirious; might as well start at the beginning. It's all good; he is a national treasure. :) P.S. -- Trigger warning - Eddie is a very dirty comic. You are warned.

It didn't sound like him, i was shocked he'd learned how to play and it was really good. I dnt remember the song, but it was on yt. I think it was like a jamie fox thing with media
