Eddie Murphy Talks Return To ‘SNL’ For 40th Anniversary Show!

Posted Jan 29, 2015

Comedian/actor and singer Eddie Murphy joined Roland Martin Wednesday on “NewsOne Now” to talk about his new reggae single, “Oh Jah Jah.”

Murphy’s latest song comes 20 years after “Party All The Time” from his debut musical album, “How Could It Be.” He told Martin, “I never ever stopped making music, I stopped putting music out in the ’80s. In the ’80s for some reason more than in any decade, there was a bunch of actors that was trying to sing and put records out and it looked crazy.”

Murphy said before he started doing stand up comedy that he had a band. “I’ve always done music. I’ve played guitar, piano and I write and produce and I was coming at music that way because I didn’t want to get thrown in a barrel with everybody else.”

For the last 25 years Murphy has been recording music for himself. He said, “I never ever left it alone, I just stopped letting y’all hear it.”
