Charlie Murphy, 'Chappelle's Show' star and brother of Eddie Murphy, dead at 57 after leukemia battle

Not that familial with him, but still 57 is way to young.

Not as funny as his brother, but funny nevertheless.

RIP

In my opinion, Eddie was funnier during the early part of his career, before he started making crap movies like Norbit. But if you never seen Charlie's True Hollywood Stories skits on Chappelle Show they are hilarious. But RIP Charlie.

charlie also had a edge about him that eddie lacked, which made his stand-up pretty damn funny. him and sam jack playing privileged white boys in the boondocks was always hilarious.

Damn, that's a shame, he was great.

Cuba Gooding, sr - lead singer of soul band The Main Ingredient who had a big hit with "Everybody Plays the Fool" as well as a solo recording artist passed away at the age of 72. My thoughts are with his family (which includes his Academy Award winning son, Cuba jr.)
