Cee Lo Green - Bodies Video



I will not be reserved in expressing my admiration for this musician. As a part of the Goodie Mob, his contribution to Hip Hop, can not be ignored, what with their debut album Soul Food, hailed as a classic, and them along with Outkast widely recognised for having layed the blueprint for the dirty south sound. The group, is definately hall of famer material.

His first solo album, Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections (2002), sounded unlike anything else out there -- unlike Cee-Lo's past work with Goodie Mob, unlike his neo-soul contemporaries, and unlike pretty much anything else except the weirder corners of OutKast's Stankonia album. Then came the Gnarls barkley days, Cee lo enjoyed his greatest success to date as half of Gnarls Barkley, a duo also featuring producer Danger Mouse. "Crazy," the lead single from St. Elsewhere, the duo's debut album, was an instant hit in the U.K. and steadily rose to the top of the charts in the U.S. by the end of the summer. The critical acclaim and commercial success of Gnarls Barkley awarded Cee-Lo the most attention he'd ever enjoyed in his career to date. Well the man released  his third solo effort. Which continues to showcase one of the most unique male voices in the industry, that is still inexplicably versatile.

This is his video for one of my favourites of off Lady Killer, Bodies.
