Eddie Murphy's Musical Moments - Eddie Murphy's an actual, recorded-on-record singer — with albums. His first, How Could It Be, was released in 1985 and included a song produced by Rick James ("Party All the Time"). He also had one in the '90s, Love's Alright, featuring a track with Shabba Ranks. His latest, 9, has yet to have a release date set, but its lead single is out now and features Snoop Lion ("Red Light"). Lest we forget, however, Murphy also has an indelible career as a comedian and movies star. Let's take a look at how some fellow musical artists have sampled his work throughout the years.(Photo: Columbia)
