Backstory: Eddie Murphy’s “Party all the Time”
Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time” is a classic hit that has stood the test of time. The song, which was written and produced by Rick James, was released in 1985 as the lead single from Eddie’s debut album of the same name.
One reason why Eddie recorded this song is that he wanted to expand his career beyond just being a comedian and an actor, he wanted to show that he also had musical talent and this song was a great opportunity for him to do so. The song came about during a discussion / bet with comedian Richard Pryor, who, when realizing Murphy was serious became concerned that Murphy may make a fool of himself. Pryor reportedly called his friend, the wildman Rick James, to help out.
The song’s catchy hook and upbeat tempo made it a hit on the charts, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its music video, directed by Rupert Wainwright, featured Eddie and his friends having a wild party, complete with a live band and colorful costumes.
“Party All The Time” remains a favorite among Eddie’s fans and continues to be a staple at parties and events. The song was also included in the soundtrack of the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which helped in reintroducing the song to a new generation of listeners. The success of the song helped establish Eddie as a musician and opened up new opportunities for him in the music industry. Additionally, the song was a great way for him to connect with his audience and give them something new and exciting to enjoy.
Overall, Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time” is a timeless hit that perfectly captures the energy and spirit of the 80s. It’s a must-have for any music lover’s collection and will always be a party favorite. Here’s your earworm for today:
