Eddie Murphy does James Brown in front of him.

That he was able to perform for James is a memory I'm sure he will never forget.

Now how many watched this about 4 times. Then, tears start. Our generation is and has witnessed amazingly talented professionals and world events.

I’ve never seen this video. It’s an instant classic.

The guitarist standing behind Eddie Murphy playing the white Gibson Les Paul guitar was a former bandmate of mine, Caleb Jackson, who passed away some years ago. Rest in peace my friend

Pretty amazing😊 We forget that Eddie Murphy Can sing, act, produce and direct. His imitations put him heads above the rest❤❤❤

Eddie Murphy has so much talent that it's unbelievable, over 40 years of success!

[HardRockMiner]

Young ppl today have no idea the amount of talent Eddie has and how long he's been THE MAN.

Two classics in their own right. James Brown daughter just commented that once they were eating at a favorite place of his that was busy with the locals. When a line formed at their table they politely ask for his autograph. His daughter was starting to say it wasn't a good time, to let him eat, but James cut her off and said never do that. He said these fans are what made him who he was then and all they wanted in return was a simple autograph as he signed every person in line before he ate his child food and was happy to do so. I can't imagine any celebs today being that open to the public and willing to eat a child dinner to give autographs to everyone that requested one.

That James Brown so clearly loved it, was the best part. He couldn't keep his feet still after he picked up that mic stand and Eddie started dancing. James was FEELing it! 🔥

[reginaldrodges]

True greatest comedian to ever do it!!!

[edhallas]

James Brown: “Can you do James Brown?”

Eddie (literally): “Hold My Mike!”

[Angela-cdbj]

Eddie Murphy impersonated James Brown so good. Opening words sound just like him plus Eddie has James’ smooth foot work 💃🏽
