Eddie Murphy – Eddie Murphy – Spotify Link

Like Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor before him, Eddie Murphy was the preeminent African-American comic of his era; in fact, Murphy was arguably the preeminent comic of the 1980s, period — at his peak, no other performer, regardless of race, was a bigger star or a more audacious talent. Combining Pryor’s viciously acute observational gifts and love of obscenities with Cosby’s undeniable mainstream appeal, Murphy quickly leaped from clubs to television to film — even finding success as a serious pop singer — on the way to establishing himself as the most wildly popular comedian since the heyday of Steve Martin.
