Stardom: Charlie is most celebrated for his work on Chappelle's Show in the early 2000s (pictured)
Charlie is most celebrated for his work on Chappelle's Show in the early 2000s and inspired the comedian's now infamous Prince impression.
Murphy used his own stories of meeting the rich and famous, through the height of brother Eddie's career, to inspire sketches on the show.
He told how Prince played basketball with Murphy and was incredible - the music superstar then went on to make everyone pancakes after the game - a scene Chappelle famously reenacts, pretending to be the Purple Rain singer.
The Murphy brothers were both born in Brooklyn and raised in Long Island. Their mother was a telephone operator and their father a police officer.
Charlie had three children, including two with wife Tisha Taylor, who passed away following a battle with cancer in 2009.
They married in 1997.
