Eddie Murphy – Party All The Time (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Originally posted September 15, 2011

“Party All the Time” is a 1985 single by comedian and actor Eddie Murphy, written and produced by Rick James and Kevin Johnston. It was the lead single from Murphy’s debut album How Could It Be. The single was recorded at James’ home studio in Buffalo, New York. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, behind “Say You, Say Me” by Lionel Richie. Rick James also provided vocals for the song.

The lyrics are a lament by the singer that despite the expensive, extravagant things he lavishes on his girlfriend, she much prefers spending time going out clubbing, dancing, partying, as well as flirting and cheating with other men, rather than being with her boyfriend and remaining faithful to him.

Mick Jagger – Just Another Night (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Just Another Night” is a song written and performed by Mick Jagger, released as the first single from his debut album, She’s the Boss, in 1985. It reached number 32 in the United Kingdom and number 12 in the United States. It was a bigger hit on mainstream rock radio in the US, reaching number one for two weeks on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart in March 1985.

The music video, directed by Julien Temple, features actress Rae Dawn Chong as Jagger’s love interest.

Jagger was accused of infringing the copyright of another song entitled “Just Another Night” by Patrick Alley, a Jamaican reggae singer from New York. A six-member jury ruled in Jagger’s favor in 1988.
