What musician am I thinking of.... Some months ago I saw a musical act on The Colbert Report, which involved an overweight black man who wore a retro-style double-breasted suit and fedora. His band members were all female and they were all kitted out in retro skirt suits and fedoras as well. I am sure I've heard his music on the radio too but have never managed to catch the name. Who is this singer?

Cee-Le Green? Not quite what you imagined, but lots of similarities.

Yes, he's the one I remember. Thanks, TPS!

In my other, more exciting life, I am Cee-Lo's bass player.

I think Cee-Lo has one of the most beautiful mouths I've ever seen. I love his lips.

I just love his voice when he belts out "and her too-OO--OOOOOOoooOO". Damn that man makes me wanna sing & dance. (I bounce around town miming to this song, can't help myself when I hear it, people think I'm crazy)

You may recall his collaboration with Danger Mouse called Gnarls Barkley. Their single "Crazy" was one of the top songs of 2006.

His teeth may be the most perfect I've ever seen. Wow.

I just love how when Stephen Colbert suggests that he say "Fox News" instead of "F*ck you" in his son, Cee-Lo gets this wonderful grin on his face, and then gamely does it. He seems like he'd be an awesome guy in person.
