We feel silly guys! We didn’t know that was Rick James! This video was recorded before we reacted to some Rick James 😂
Don't feel silly. Ya'll didnt know, and there's nothing silly about that. Lol, you guys are so real I just love it!!! Eddie started as a comedian and I loved him on Saturday night Live lol. Stay groovy and keep on keepin on ✌️ ❣️
No reason to feel silly, the guy hasn't had a hit since you were born and he's been dead for 18 years... Just made some of us feel old. :-)
Shocked? Y'all ain't even seen real Eddie Murphy stand up. If you ever do decide to try out "Delirious", or "Raw" make sure the girls are asleep. Eddie was a little dirty, and that was an understatement.
I don't know if the Mary Jane girls in my house qualify for female Friday but Tina Marie definitely does

Eddie was first famous for being a comedian and a member of SNL before he ever began acting in movies. This song was an unexpected thing for him to put out, but he killed it!
I believe Rick James wrote this song as well
You have to see his stand up shows! He is absolutely hysterical!!!!!! He was a comedian before he did movies.
@@donnagonatas3155 Facts. But keep in mind his stand up isn't anywhere close to kid friendly!
@@nanner3200 oh god no. Those are the best kind😜
@@donnagonatas3155 Agree! 😀
Eddie Murphy is a damn National treasure!
Also, RIP Charlie Murphy.
OMG! I didn't know he passed away. I looked it up and it was in 2017 from leukemia. Man, that's sad!
Love to see people put some respect on Charlie's name.
The man was so much more than 'Eddie Murphy's brother'.
When Eddie Murphy put this song out, we were all just as surprised as you guys are in this reaction!
That’s Rick James! He wrote and produced a song for Eddie Murphy. You should react to some of his music as well. Legendary dude
Excuse me. "That's Rick James, Bitch!" LOL!!!
Wonder if this was around the time of the "couch" incident...lol
Even though I loved the Charlie Murphy stories. It is a shame that a lot of people only know who Rick James from the chappelle show. He was a legendary musician and singer.
They've reacted to Rick James.
Not like he couldn't afford another.
Eddie won a Golden Globe for his singing role in the musical Dream Girls. It was a serious performance and deserving of the accolades.
He deserved an Oscar nomination for that performance, but was hindered by Norbert coming out at the same time. It’s too bad, because he was truly robbed.
Correction: He was nominated. But he deserved the win.
Oh he was so great in Dreamgirls! That opening number with him is such a great way to start the movie.
Alan Arkin was great in the little Miss sunshine but Eddie Murphy was better in dream girls and should’ve had the best supporting actor Oscar statue in his hands
Hell naw deserving of nothing
Eddie Murphy and Rick James are pure gold in this song--LOVE IT!
Eddie Murphy is just multi talented . This song has always been underrated . It's a great song.
Now that the 80's style of music is back (Thanks to the Weeknd) I think Eddie should release a new album like that
@@greenrobot5 - Also thanks to Bruno Mars. He has an 80's vibe.
@@lorizrhythm8171 yeah but Bruno went the "soul" type of vibe
@@greenrobot5 - But there was soul in the 80's. It's not really soul though, but R&B. I think he has a great 80's vibe. Not 100%, and mostly early in his career.
A.G.R.E.E.D - My son is happy that this song made it on GTA 5 as well.
Back in the day, Eddie was ruling the movies, stand-up and music. He could do no wrong. Hard to imagine how big he was unless you were living and saw it at the time.
Word on that!
I was there for it
Straight up.
Eddie Murphy won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for singing in a musical - Dreamgirls, a fictionalized version of Diana Ross and the Supremes story, also starring Jennifer Hudson.
I saw him in an interview say he was a singer trapped inside a comedian.
Girls.
I was getting ready to say something about his acting in Dream Girls! Which he is magnificent in!
He also sings in the movie "Shrek"
I just got bi-focals this week and I forgot to put them on. When I first read your comment I thought it said he did a song with the Golden Girls. Now that would have been an interesting 80s collab.
@@sometimesboy hahaha!
One more thing; your reaction when you were both like “Eddie Murphy?!?…singing?!?!” That’s exactly how we reacted back then when we saw the video on MTV. I was like “wait!…what?!?…is he really singing?!?” It was a much talked about sing because it was so unexpected. But it definitely is a jam!❤️🙌🏼
This song is a banger, it reached #2 on the pop charts and stayed there for several weeks. Might have even made #1 but it was always just behind Lionel Richie's 'Say You, Say Me' that it couldn't knock off.
Say you won an Oscar too
You guys just have no idea how awesome the 80s were. I don't think there will ever be a time where music was so diverse and fun. You guys missed out on a fantastic decade!
You got that right! If I had Doc Brown's DeLorean time machine, I would happily go back to the 80's and stay there!
I love when my mom tells me stories of clubbing in the 80's, sounds like SOOOOOOO much fun.
Yeah, it was soooo much fun! If I could, I'd travel back no questions asked.
The only thing I may miss is the internet.
The 80s were sooo amazing!! Almost as good as the 70s ❤
@@jodyjackson5475 I grew up during the 70s as well, but I still think the 80s were better. I think the determination was made by my age. I was only 11 when the 70s ended.
This came out in 1985. The “guy with the hair” is Rick James. You haven’t reacted to any Rick James yet?! 🤯
Actually they did react to a song by Rick James and Teena Marie but it wasn't a music video and there were no photos.
White hair guy walking down stairs w Eddie
Memory about this song: The first handful of radio stations who got this song (I heard it on WMMS Cleveland) would not tell you who sang it. They would just say it was done by a "celebrity." There was a big reveal 24 hours later. It created a lot of hype around this song.
I wonder what some of the guesses were lol.
They did the same thing in Los Angeles!! People were calling in to Guess the Celebrity!😆
Eddie Murphy can definitely sing! Us older folks have known this since the 80s.
This song was written and produced by Rick James, the guy in the studio in this video, the guy with 'the hair' who joins in towards the end.
Apparently he did this song because he made a $100k bet with legendary comedian Richard Pryor about whether he could sing or not.
Thanks. I was like. They don't know Rick James?
LOL
Eddie Murphy started as a stand up comic and also was on SNL. The guy with the hair is Rick James - you reacted to him singing "Happy" with Teena Marie. He also wrote so many songs for different artists from the 1970s to 1980s. Rick James' uncle was Melvin Franklin the bass vocalist in the 1960s Motown group the Temptations.
Yeah that's why the Temptations sang back up on Rick's Superfreak.
Actually Eddie Murphy was a stand up comedian first. Then he started acting and released an album.
Eddie was the man in the 80s. Hell, I secured front-row seats for me & my friends to see Raw the night it came out. Eddie's a legend - without question.
For those of us in high school and college in the 1980s, Eddie Murphy belonged to US. He was OUR generation. Good song, thanks in great part to the late Rick James.
If you watch his stand-up videos, either "Delirious" or "Raw" you'll hear him sing and he does a GREAT Michael Jackson! You didn't know that was Rick James??? 😲
And his james brown hot tub skit omg
@@elizabethmcmurray968 thank God someone knows!!!
"Lemonade . . . that cool refreshing drink"
@@eurofritz4617 my horse and carriage are for hire,señora,for ,yes, as long as you desire, señorita...
@@eurofritz4617 we gotta win this race
I felt really old when Rick James appeared on the screen and there was no recognition... And they made him sound decent in the studio, but you can hear how much stronger Rick James voice is during the little parts where he sings
I kept yelling at the tv screen..."Rick James" and man, I'm stunned they don't know him.
They know him they just hadn't seen him. They reacted to his duet "Happy" with Teena Marie with no video. They are aware and hopefully they'll be reacting to his solo stuff soon.
"I'm Rick James Bitch!" 😂
I grew up thinking this song was somehow terrible or goofy based on how it was discussed on “I Love the 80s.” once i got older, I realized what an absolute BANGER IT IS.
He has some of the raunchiest, most hilarious stand up routines ever. Eddie Murphy Delirious is one of my all time favorite stand up routines, period! Warning: not safe for kids! He also had the stand up routine Raw. I think he started doing a lot of squeaky clean, good for kids movies to clean up his reputation after these.
He seems to be a pretty committed family man these days. Big kudos to him.
And coz he had kids.
He was a comedian first. Got on SNL at age 18. I think he is still the youngest ever cast member. Then movies he hit it REALLY big with 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop, etc. He did this around BH Cop 2 would be my guest and best memory.
2nd youngest Anthony Michael Hall was 17 when he joined his cast, Eddie was 19
The early movies were the best ones
I knew he was something special the first time I saw him on SNL.
Rick James put the fire on this track. He was the guy with curly hair. Eddie was a stand-up comedian first. There is something about comedians, so versatile and most can sing and do almost anything. Jamie Foxx is a prime example.
Rick James super freak and give it to me baby were HOT! Mary Jane was good too
auto tune
Yeah!!! Jamie FOXX in can Sssaang! Another Multi-Talented Brother. Watch his movie Ray where he portrays the Infamous Ray Charles! It's all him singing.
Eddie would sing in his stand up, and people saw he could sing. It was a natural progression. I'm surprised that part of his career never got bigger.
Eddie Murphy was actually a stand up comedian first, then an actor, THEN a singer. Sadly his music career never really took off, because like you said he was capable of some really amazing vocals.
I applaud you for your proper use of the word then 🙏
he was typecasted ,so the public couldn't see him as being anything else .....if he did music first ,his music career would have probably been more fruitful....
Very true
✨Does Anyone Remember on SNL 10:03 Eddie Doing Stevie Wonder, & Joe Piscapo Doing Sinatra Together⁉️✨🫶🏼✨🤌🏼✨💖✨
The song was written and produced by Rick James whose backing him up. Rick recorded Mary Jane , Super Freak & Fire And Desire. It would be great to get a reaction for Luther Vandross/ Gregory Hines - There’s Nothing Better Than Love.
Wasn't Gregory Hines the one that tap danced really well?
@@clicker7019 yep that’s him, he did the movie Tap with Sammy Davis Jr.
Also She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built She's Stacked)
This song came out in1985. We had been watching him as a comedian and actor at the time and was pleasantly surprised by this song. He is a multitalented guy! Patrick Swayze is a well known actor and also has a hit song called She's Like The Wind.
Must watch 48hrs movie with Eddie Murphy. He sings “Roxanne” from The Police!! Classic moment!! ❤😂🤣
Now that y'all know Eddie can sing, Check out Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself" Bruce did an album called "The Return Of Bruno" and you should really check out this hidden gem.
Agree strongly!
I loved that album
Oh ya!!! That was a good album.
Billy Bob Thornton is actually pretty good also. While stationed at Camp Lejeune NC i was voluntold i had to work a salute to the troops concert. Maroon5, B2K, and BillyBobThornton Band. He was good and a very nice guy. He hung out after performing and visited with the crew working signed autographs.
@@stonebay2111 I had almost forgotten that he had a band! Thanks for the reminder! 😃
Another actor who knocked it out of the park singing was Patrick Swayze, who's 'She's Like the Wind' was on the 'Dirty Dancing' soundtrack. Great ballad...
David Soul - "Don't Give Up on Us, Baby"; Rick Springfield - "Jessie's Girl" (and several others); Gloria Loring - "Friends and Lovers"; Jack Wagner - "All I Need" . . . and the list goes on and on. Lots of actors are actually pretty good singers, but many of them only managed to be one-hit wonders. And why not? Acting probably pays a lot better than singing. And, of course, many singers became actors (some great, some so-so): Mark Wahlberg, Cher, Madonna, Olivia Newton-John . . .
@@kev7161 mmmm... Jack Wagner.
@@rowanmayfair9249 he was 😍
Patrick was also a trained dancer - "Dirty Dancing" was just a small demo of this. Talk about "the whole package"!
What a fun song. It always has been. And yes Eddie has some skill. Nothing this man couldnt do. What a amazing talent.
"How Could It Be" is Eddie Murphy best song and music video!!! Amazing vocals
I'm always surprised how many younger people today only know Eddie Murphy as an actor when he started out as a stand up comedian. If you saw his shows you would swear he was a Rock Star back then. You two should watch his 'Delirious' or 'Raw' stand up shows! (watch after the kids are asleep as it has lots of curse words).
Also, his impersonations of Michael Jackson and Elvis were spot on. 😂
I'm glad you added the disclaimer to those. Hahaha. My sides ack remembering his gigs. Hahaha
I was going to say the same thing. My favorite bits were always "Aunt Bunny's a sasquatch" and "You ain't got no ice cream".
Maybe I’m just old or too old-fashioned because I saw Raw and I didn’t like it. There were a lot of young comedians who came after Richard Pryor who tried to imitate him. But Richard was one-of-a-kind. And while Richard Pryor was definitely dirty he was seldom nasty. It’s a fine line and Richard knew where to draw it. The young comics trying to imitate him were just nasty and, in my opinion, not funny or entertaining.
As far as other famous actors singing a good song, y'all should check out Patrick Swayze's "She's like the wind". It's surprisingly good.
That is a good one! Love it.
What about Don Johnson " Heartbeat " ?
love that song!!
Bruce Willis did something too
one of my favorite songs, it touches my soul.
This was a single from Eddie's album, "How Could it Be", which was made on a bet with Richard Pryor that Murphy could not sing. Eddie won. The album made #26 on Billboard's top 100, and "Party all the Time" charted at #2 for three weeks. Rick James wrote and produced the single and sang backup, and Rick James, Aquil Fudge, and Stevie Wonder co-produced the album. Murphy wrote three songs on the album and co-wrote two.
This was when Eddie was the trifecta. Comedian. Movie star. Singer. He was killin it in all 3 realms. In that order.
I had to comment. Eddie Murphy was a COMEDIAN first, then he got into movies when he wasn't performing his comedy. Then he got into music. The man is multi-talented. Eddie Murphy will always be known as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop movies.
And I believe there is a fourth BHC coming out in the next year or so.
He was great as Reggie in 48 hrs too.
Eddie Murphy had 3 comedy albums in the 80s: Comedian, Delirious, and Raw. On them he had bits where he impersonated several singers including Michael Jackson, Elvis, James Brown, and Teddy Pendegrass. It was the first hint that many got that he might be able to actually sing.
Well said!
His Michael Jackson doing She's Out of My Life is funny. "Stop teasing me Jermaine.......Tito get me some tissues.
Spot on...I loved Delirious and yes you could definitely tell from that the man can sing!!!
Eddie Murphy was the youngest and most successful cast member of Saturday Night Live. He was 19 years old then. He had many popular characters. His stand-up was far from family friendly. He is a devout Christian and lived rather clean compared to the eighties party scene.
He was Gumby, dammit!!!
This song was serious as a heart attack when it first came out, and it still holds up pretty solid in a dance club on "retro" weekends ‼️
For Female Friday you have to do another Rick James production, the Mary Jane Girls doing In My House. An absolute killer track!!
That's a good one!!!! 👍
Don’t forget “Boys” and “All Night Long”
Eddie Murphy has quite a few good movies from the 80s. The Golden Child, Coming to America, Another 48 Hours, Trading Places (on my Christmas movie list along with Die Hard), Always watched him on SNL back when it was actually funny. Please check out Mary Jane Girls "My House".
Eddy Murphy can certainly sing..
And Rick James as well.. “Super Freak” from 1981 will get you up and moving…
Eddie is very talented. The 80’s wouldn’t have been the same without him. Have you ever seen him when he started out on Saturday Night Live? Late 70’s early 80’s
EDDIE MURPHY - 'Red Light' (ft. SNOOP LION)... a dope Reggae tune!
Another actor who had a singing career prior to going to Hollywood was, Mark Wahlberg. He had a hit called "Feel the vibration", with his group; The Funky Bunch. 😃
I think it’s Good Vibrations
If you Google this remember its MARKY MARK and the Funky Bunch lmao i still giggle when i think of that.
I think (not positive) they have already reacted to Good Vibrations.
Good Vibrations was The Beach Boys.
@@clicker7019 yes, as is this song, both called the same title Google it
Yes, Eddie can sing, and sing very well. They had to ask him to sing poorly for Shrek when he played Donkey. He was a comedian first. Look for Eddie Murhpy - Raw
Yes RAW will make u laugh like never b4
And before Raw, he did Delirious! I think it was even funnier than Raw, the way he deconstructs the original Star Trek and the Honeymooners!
Make sure the kids are not in the room for the comedy videos Raw and Delirious!
@@RLucas3000 Agree, Delirious was funnier than Raw to me.
Thos song got to #2 on the billboard 100 list in 1985. This song was a real bona-fide hit. This was played in clubs and kn radio
Oh yeah, such a banger...
Eddie Murphy started as a stand up comedian, then joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, THEN started his movie career. Also the guy with the blonde weave was Rick James, Who also produced and sang on the track. The shock on your faces was priceless, great reaction. Also if you two want to get back into some groundbreaking funk, you have to react to "One Nation Under A Groove" by Funkadelic. It's a master class in funk!
If you're Eddie fans, check out the best of Eddie Murphy on SNL, especially James Brown Hot Tub and Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood. He also returned and hosted a couple years ago. That show was amazing start to end and won an Emmy.
One of the coolest songs of the 80s. Eddie began his stand-up comedy career in 1976. He frequently provided background vocals to songs released by the Bus Boys; the song "(The Boys Are) Back in Town" was featured in the movie 48 Hrs. (1982) and Murphy's comedy special Eddie Murphy Delirious. As a solo artist, Murphy had two hit singles, this song and "Put Your Mouth on Me" during the latter half of the 1980s. He had started singing earlier in his career, with the songs "Boogie in Your Butt" and "Enough Is Enough", the latter being a parody of Barbra Streisand's and Donna Summer's 1979 song, "No More Tears". Both songs appeared on his 1982 self-titled comedy album. Love the reaction guys! Keep them coming!😊
"Boogie in Your Butt" LOLOL!!!! Man, I'd forgotten that one. :D
This was not one of the coolest songs of the 80s. Not even in the top 1000. Terrible song.
@@chasingbirds3073That's okay. Not everybody likes it. :)
Eddie's a gifted mimic. It's why he does a perfect Elvis, Jackie Gleason, Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson impersonation. I've always thought that helped with his singing career, but he'll always be the guy to beat when it comes to comedy.
First time I ever heard Eddie Murphy sing anything was in the Shrek movies. I had no idea that he could sing back then and hearing this, I'm blown away! Homeboy has depths!
The movie I always give as an example of aging well… Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy. It's as fast and funny and cool as it was in 1984.
In the movie "Another 48 Hours", we're treated to Eddie singing part of "Roxanne" by the Police and doing a decent job of it.
Loved that scene lol
I'm so glad you like this song he was and actor first.he wanted to show people he could do more than just act.. unfortunately a lot of people in the music business didn't support him and that was a shame because he can really sing
Jay and Amber, @2:44 - I love the dumbfounded “Holy c*** !!! This ain’t no joke - the man can sing” look. That was pretty much all of us when this song came out
He could not do this wrong with Rick James backing him up❤
Delirious is the best Eddie Murphy standup act. Absolutely a must watch
Before i knew eddie could sing, I saw his stand up, especially delirious, and listening to him I said... this man sings so well, he should do that too. The impersonations of singers he does, imitation and singing... the best I have seen.
I loved the look on your faces when he started to belt. I love Eddie Murphy. My 80s childhood.
this is one reason why the 80's were the best. The music was great, actors would sing and many different kinds of collaborations would happen between artists and groups of artists
Bruce Willis has a song too
“respect yourself”
People (critics mostly) make fun of that song alot, but I really like it
Eddie Murphy and Snoop Dog also recorded “Red Light “
Written and produced by Rick James.
You should try Super Freak from Rick.
& Loosey's Rap
Amber's gonna blush!
Man!! That was fun to revisit after so many years!
I realize now more than I did back then that this is a really good song 😊
Eddie sang it great but my favorite parts are when Rick James comes in.
He produced it too. I miss him. I bet he'd still be relevant today. RIP ❤️
Rick James...LEGEND. ONE OF THE MOST BADASS MOTHERF#$&ERS THAT EVER DID IT. Rest In Peace Rick. Miss you man.❤️
I met Eddie Murphy when I was working landscaping at his home during school in Englewood, NJ in the 80's. I remember he had a recording studio at his house.
A must have on any 80s house party playlist!!! Eddie did a song with Michael Jackson too! 🎶 You should check out "C.+C. Music Factory" and their song "Things that Make You Go Hmmm..." 🤔 it's another funny song that's a banger!! Keep smiling!! 😍
Mr. Kling....another song that belongs on EVERY 80s house playlist is BACK TO LIFE by SOUL II SOUL. It was at the tail end of the 80s....but it took us out of the decade dancing!
@@sometimesboy that song is amazing!! Loved it since it I first heard it the radio!! 🥰
BEST ONE HIT WONDER EVER!!!!!!! Still have it on a playlist in the car. I saw an interview where Eddie said he did his song as a $100K bet with Richard Pryor (I think that's right) that he could do a hit single. It went to #2 on the charts, beat out by Say You Say Me by Lionel Ritchie. Rick James wrote this and it was a companion song to Super Freak.
Exactly what I heard as well. Eddie Murphy was on fire back in the day. Imagine being so confident in your abilities that you bet 100k that you could take your skills to the other end of the spectrum. And succeed!! Thats crazy. And about his acting. Imo the greatest movie action/comedy duo of of the last 50 years Is Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. Sure wish they made more movies like 48 hours.
@@jamesmcdaniel9601 I know! I loved Beverly Hills Cop too.His old comedy was so much better than The Nutty Professor and his PG stuff. He decided he needed to clean up his image after he got caught with a hooker.
Lovin' you guys not knowin' Eddie from the early days. Comedian, Movies, music back to movies... the man has been an icon for so may genre's.
In the 80s, there are plenty of actors who can sing. One of them is Patrick Swayze and his song was She's like the Wind.
Eddie Murphy can sing. He did a lot of singing in his movies and stand up shows. Actually has a great voice.
The movie career dominance lasted all the way through the 90s.
Eddie was a stand-up comic first and then went into acting. He has another song where Michael Jackson sings the hook. I’m surprised you guys didn’t see Dreamgirls with Beyoncé and JHud. He sings in the movie.
Eddie was a comedian first and then went into acting, I loved this pair up with Eddie and My crush Rick James❤️❤️
He does sing with impressions. He’s so talented.
If you watch his early stand-up specials, he often imitated famous singers like Elvis and Desi Arnez and did a fabulous job of it too! Eddie was the hottest thing ever back in the 80's. He was everywhere! : )
I had heard this song a good many times on the radio over the years, maybe decades, never really paying attention to who sang it. Then I caught it one time during lockdown, when they said Eddie Murphy, and it absolutely melted my mind.
If you know Eddie mostly from the 90's, he was a comedian before he was a movie star. You should really check out his stand up DVDs 'Raw' and 'Delirious'. They're legendary shows. Just make sure your kids are not in the room!
Kids and PC people.🤣
"Delirious" and "Raw" were from the 1980s, not the 90s. By the 90s, Eddie Murphy was pretty much exclusively doing films.
@@wadsworthaaron that was my point. I think these two said they know him from Nutty Professor and Dr Doolittle.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 😂 my own has heard worse out of my gob
He was a stand up comedian, and he sang just a little in his comedy shows but then an actor and he hit us with this song 🎵.
I so jammed to this back in the 80's in high school!
Have you seen Eddie in Boomerang? He was a player in that one and I wish he did more serious roles like that movie. Still has funny parts but not goofy like most of his movies.
Eddie is a multifaceted entertainer...professionally, 1st stand up comedian, next acting, then singing
Another singing actor that had a song out about the same time was Don Johnson from Miami Vice, and currently on Kenan. His single "Heartbeat" reached #5 on Billboard.
And Bruce Willis, too!
Yeah didn't his co-star also release an album? Don said later he was shocked by how quick he hated the music business. Stars don't want to go on tour to have to support an album that music execs make all the money on
@@yaimavol You're right, he did. I did not know that Don Johnson felt that way about the music business, thanks for the info. 🙂
@@salbro5985 Wow, you're right, I forgot about Bruce Willis. Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to go look that one up.
Eddie was a comic first then actor then singer
He’s got his own reggae band from before acting already, even sang with Snoop before
The look on BOTH of your faces was too FUNNY! I just came to see your reaction! Not disappointed! Truth be told - That was the same reaction we all had back then when this first came out!
Always loved this song even when everyone was criticizing it. Great job Eddie and you guys🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎
Right? I always loved it, but ppl would clown him. I don't get it.
@@tiffanyspencer2782 I with you Tiffany. It’s actually a great song and I guess everyone wanted something funny? Eddie has a great pop singing voice in my opinion and I always wanted more but I guess they beat him down on criticism. Thanks Tiffany
It was and remains awful. Somewhere there’s an interview with him where he jokes about his poor judgment making an album.
The guy on his right was Rick James! OMG yup! And with the order Eddie was comedian, actor, singer then back to comedy and acting! Love y'all
Eddie did stand-up and joined the cast of SNL when he was 19 years old (‘80)
That’s where he got his start (grownup Buckwheat character; Otay 👌).
His first movie role was in 48 Hours (singing Roxanne! for his character introduction) in ’82.
Murphy, Belushi, Akroid, and Martin started the SNL actors getting movie roles thing, that’s filtered down to many SNL cast members to this day (cross-over with In Living Color’s Wayan bros, Jamie Fox, Jim Carrey).
Time after time the SNL skit become so iconically funny that someone writes their skit characters a whole movie ie: Night at The Roxbury, Blues Brothers, the Jerk, Foul Play, Silver Streak, Three Amigos, etc.
Probably half of them can sing as well as they act.
Eddie has a ballad too called How Can It Be.
Eddie was primarily a comedian/actor, starting on SNL in the early 80's. This was at the height of his popularity in the mid 80's, and he had the power to make a record if he wanted. He made other records, but this was by far his biggest hit.
Gumby!! And Mr. Robinson. :--)
Gotta do Bus Boys song boys are back in town. They were Eddie’s opening band for every show. Awesome you’ll love them.
the movie 48hrs needs to get on the movie list
A lot of actors take singing and vocal lessons early on in their careers because it helps with their annunciation and performance skills. Eddie is and always has been super talented in everything that he sets out to do because he pours his heart and soul into whatever he's working on. One of my favorite comedians, actors, and yes I loved this song when it hit the airwaves!! Thank you for posting as it brought back some good memories.
Eddie started as a stand-up comedian, with several comedy albums selling well. He was discovered and made a featured player on SNL. That thrust him into a large exposure. He quickly went into films (48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, Raw) that made him explode in popularity. It was at that point this was recorded and released.
BTW, that guy with the hair is Rick James. An absolute legend that unfortunately is mostly remembered for the Dave Chappelle skit, which is hilarious to be fair. You need to check out 'Give It To Me, Baby' and 'Super Freak', the latter which you'll definitely at least know the rhythm of.
When I hear Super Freak I think of the movie Little Miss Sunshine!
Here's a few more to check out,
David Soul - "Do't Give Up On Us Baby"
John Travolta - "Let Her In"
Phoebe Cates - "Paradise"
Patrick Swayze - "She's Like The Wind"
Don't forget Markie Mark n The Wild Bunch. (MARK WAHLBURG)
Eddie sings in most of his movies. Usually for laughs, but you get glimpses of the talent.
Eddie was awesome in this video. Loved it the moment it came out back in the day!
If you want to be even more shocked, check out Eddie when he was on Saturday Night Live. That’s how he got famous. He created fabulous characters like Buckwheat and Gumby. That’s how he got famous. The clips are on TH-cam
James Brown “Hot Tub” … 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Robinsons Neighborhood was hilarious too!
....Mr. White.
Just saw the fade out scene in the video where Eddie and Rick make signs with their fingers, at 8:09, and immediately heard Eddie say "Oh Tay" in my head. Which of course is why they did it. Brilliant.
I grew up with Eddie, first as a stand up comedian and his early years on the cast of SNL. He then hit it big in movies. I believe the singing was more of a way to prove he could accomplish that goal.
If you haven’t seen his 2019 movie “Dolemite Is My Name” where he draws on the 1970s blacksplotation Dolemite movie franchise, you should watch it. It earned him more praise and a 97% Rotten Tomato score.
Eddie Murphy - Desdamona.
An AMAZING song.
Few people know about Eddie's amazing singing voice. Now I'm going to date myself. We did aerobics to this in Jr High PE.
