Thanks to Drongo for recommending Cee Lo Green! The Lady Killer captures the essence of 1960s soul music. Cee Lo Green even throws in some James Bond music riffs in the John Barry tradition. You might remember Cee Lo Green as one of the duo in Gnarls Barkley who scored with the hit, “Crazy.” If you’re a fan of soul music, you have to listen to Cee Lo Green’s unique style. I’m going to wear this CD out! GRADE: A-

Have a happy holiday, George.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Phil and your family, Patti. I’m between trips to the Airport. I just dropped my sister off; she’s flying to New Orleans to spend Thanksgiving with her daughter. Katie’s flight from Boston is supposed to arrive at 3:30 this afternoon. I hope it’s not delayed.
“F**k You”
Class.
😉
Actually, F**K YOU is a pretty good song, Jeff. A cleaned up version was a hit this summer under the title of FORGET YOU.
Glad you liked it, George. I bet your students know Cee Lo’s work.
F**K You isn’t the most genteel song around, but I do enjoy it very much, and the video as well. I think for the most part, the people who like Cee Lo and the people who visit this blog probably don’t share the same demographic. Your broad tastes are one reason I find you so interesting and entertaining, George.
I hope your daughter got home without too much trouble.
Thanks so much for the Cee Lo Green recommendation, Drongo! THE LADY KILLER is one of the best CDs of 2010. Yes, my daughter’s flight from Boston arrived on time. The family is all together for Turkey Day! Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Sixties soul? Not from where I sit. I turned off the sample after ten seconds. Bah!
The best Cee Lo Green soul songs are not available on YouTube yet, Bob. Trust me, there are some great songs on THE LADY KILLER. Give it a listen on Rhapsody.
