<p>The 58-year-old comedian became a huge star in the early 1980s due to his outrageous stand-up routines. And after becoming a major name in Hollywood thanks to his roles in movies like <strong>Trading Places</strong> and <strong>Beverly Hills Cop</strong>, he decided to release his debut album, <strong>How Could It Be</strong>, which included the R&amp;B hit <strong>Party All the Time</strong>, which was written by Rick James Kevin Johnston,</p>

<p>Eddie followed it up with second LP, <strong>So Happy</strong>, in 1989, but after releasing his third studio album <strong>Love's Alright</strong> in 1993, he stopped sharing his music with the public because he felt his fans couldn't connect with him as a pop artiste.</p>

<p>Eddie has revealed that he has hundreds of unreleased tracks that he has recorded. Speaking to Krista Smith on her Present Company podcast for Netflix, he said: "I've never stopped doing music ... A hundred years from now, when I'm gone, they'll find all these tracks and they'll be like, 'Wow, we didn't even know this guy. We had no idea.' Whatever muscle I use to be funny ... I have a muscle to do music, and I use them both all the time."</p>
