I heard about about this on The View this morning. I was not familiar with him.

He was a talented guy.. a "real" sense of humor type guy. He would goof on everyone.. and anything.. I appreciated that. I remember him in the Chappelle skits.. especially the Prince one.. hysterical stuff.

It is a shame when they die so young.. really is.

In my opinion, he was funnier than his younger brother Eddie. R.I.P. Charlie Murphy.

yea, he was.
