It was crazy and appropriate that he played a James Brown ESQUE character in the movie Dreamgirls, which also highlighted his vocal talent. Eddie had singing jobs. He even performed a song called. What’s up with you back in the day with Michael Jackson and he was fabulous and Dreamgirls.

Simply the best of the best. The pacing, the impressions and his perfect ear, the style and confidence, the movement, the raw vocal talent, the construction of the jokes, unmatched. And it was so easy for him, he easily could have improvised half of this set, maybe he have 6 or 7 punchlines written down but the rest was just being funny.
Wish eddie did more than two specials. Don't blame him for the movie business. But by god. You can see the pryor in him. What a legend. 22 years of age. Great comedy
Eddie’s view on young Elvis, is the same I have for Eddie today. Not saying I hate his modern work, but compared to his younger self... just never truly busted a gut laughing to his family friendlier movies.
This is PRIME stand up right here!!!! Delirious would SOLIDIFY Eddie Murphy's well deserved LEGENDARY status! STILL love and respect Eddie to this day!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Eddie got that Elvis walk right. Toward the end, Elvis was so constipated that he made that crippling walk of his a part of his style.
