And Prince wore two, three sizes smaller than Larry, but Larry was so excited to put on Prince’s shoes that he put those little shoes on his feet and he couldn’t play his game well, ”he said. “It simply came to our notice then. The only boy he could play with was Prince’s shoes.

Murphy discussed the moment he received poor advice from Rodney Dangerfield, sharing laughs with Richard Pryor, and the legends he knew he heard immediately were geniuses: Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney.
