Editor's note

Eddie Murphy's brief, controversial pop moment

The comedian's 1989 album 'So Happy' gave us 'Party All the Time,' a Rick James collaboration that sparked debate.

For the full picture, listen to 'Party All the Time' alongside album cuts like 'Promise (You Won't Break My Heart).' It's a snapshot of a moment that's still talked about.

Murphy's music career was short, but 'Party All the Time' stuck around. Critics said it promoted substance abuse with lyrics about partying and getting high, while Murphy argued it just reflected the era's culture. The song has since popped up in various films and TV shows, keeping that debate alive.

He released the album 'So Happy' in 1989, which included tracks like 'Put Your Mouth on Me' and 'Til the Money's Gone.' The music didn't last long, but 'Party All the Time' became his signature song.
