It hit such mainstream status that even Gwyneth Paltrow covered “Forget You” on Glee (2011). CeeLo’s solo career came after his time with Gnarls Barkley, formed with deejay-producer Danger Mouse. Their 2006 hit “Crazy” reached #1 in various singles charts worldwide and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. Prior to his time with Gnarls Barkley, CeeLo saw success with the southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob.
In addition to his success as a recording artist, CeeLo completed four seasons as a coach on NBC’s hit show The Voice alongside Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. He has also made guest-appearances on NBC’s Parenthood (2011), FOX’s American Dad (2011), Nickelodeon’s How To Rock (2012), Anger Management (2013) and also hosted his own talk show CeeLo Green Talking to Strangers on FUSE TV. He has appeared on Saturday Night Live (2011) and Oprah (2011), presented at the Billboard Music Awards (2013), ESPYs (2011) and Kids’ Choice Awards (2012), and performed at the 2012 Super Bowl with Madonna, The Grammy Awards with the Muppets (2011), Brit Awards (2011), Billboard Music Awards (2011/2012), Soul Train Awards (2011) and BET Awards (2011).
