Eddie Murphy is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Funk and Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Atlantic Starr, Charlie Chaplin, Al Green, Rick James and Ebony and Ivory. Those roots explain a lot about how Eddie Murphy arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Jacksons, Irene Cara, Kenny Loggins, Jane Child and Climie Fisher, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bo Burnham, Sharam, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece and It Wasn't Me, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 29 connections around Eddie Murphy, reaching back through Atlantic Starr and forward to Bo Burnham.
