Reet Petite - Cee Lo Green and The Jools' Rythm & Blues Orchestra

Taped from the Jools' Hootenanny Party on 31-12-2010/01-01-2011 on BBC 2. Fantastic programm. The best way to say goodbye to 2010! And of course WELCOME to 2011 !!!!
Cee Lo gives a fine performance from this rock and roll hit. Of course with the assistance of Jools Holland and his fantastic Rythm and Blues Orchestra. Just great!!!!

The best cover of a Jackie Wilson song I've ever heard. Excellent.

[@emitrelevart4330]

my favourite version was by pinky and perky, though i've no idea where to find it. it showed up on a cassette i had as a kid, a compilation album, lol

[@sheiladavis6523]

Horrible 😱cover Jackie would be saying - (Man you really jack up my song) I truly hope that he doesn't sing any more of the songs that Jackie shame on you Mr. Green😀 March 6,2021

[@larsmith00]

look at jools taking in the moment, he knows he's making history and witnessing a true legend

[@Britishguy18]

Thats the beauty of Jools Holland! That cats on a mission to get the talent nowadays to play proper music and this rock n roll tune is an example of that :) God bless that great pianist!

[@Phantom2088]

I love Cee Lo for keeping this soul alive. RIP Uncle Jackie.

[@mwnciboo]

[@mikethekhotmailcom]

Awesome!

[@dossantosutmazian]

Muito bom!

[@tamaravel]

it's almost as if it is Jackie himself singing this onstage

[@stephenvincent4989]

Please it’s good but it ain’t the one only Jackie Wilson

[@renhoek3851]

I love Celo Green and he did a great job, but it sort of shows how good Jackie Wilson was to make this song sound so easy!

[@johnmatrix3]

class

[@StickmanShifter]

How the hell DO you trill your tongue like that? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRReet Petite

[@carmenathanasiadis6880]

excelente

[@shable1436]

rip jackie and cee lo

[@boogiebluester]

@ThreadCityDeanF Thanks for you're comment and I think Cee Lo Greene will not disappoint you!!!

[@FelixGraham]

You do realize that Cee Lo has been a solid performer for about 20 years in the US, yes? :) He started with a rap group, but really hit big time as a solo artist when he did a collaboration with Dangermouse (Gnarls Barkley) awhile back. He has rather always done his own thing, and when he got big chart success, it was as himself, doing his own thing.

[@boogiebluester]

@simonjsellick You are absolutely right!!!

[@boogiebluester]

@21cwh04 I agree!!!

[@boogiebluester]

@SjBrunning So do I, but Cee Lo gives it a damned good cover!!!!

[@SuperEwok22]

Old brilliant songs like this one really bring out his talent, I don't really like most of his song though.

[@boogiebluester]

@xxxxxpdowxxxxx That's the right place!!!

[@frankkleef7640]

real swell! But what I don't get is what that robot is doing there

[@stevestheboy1]

great version,well done cee lo,but the only bloke who can nail this is si cranston so jools look around and you will,and only then will you find the best jackie

[@MetalMonkey]

He has a great voice but the only song I know from him is F*** You/Forget You

[@lestatmacway892]

Oh man, this sounds close to the original

[@pumpkinghost]

Ok why is no-one mentioning megatron lip syncing for his life

[@cherrylove3656]

no no no no he don't have the voice to even come close

[@IanSteele]

He's no Jackie Wilson, this is a bit like watching a cabaret singer Sorry

[@andrewg3768]

Yes I have seen him sing better he is singing weird here for some reason!

[@ZangerRBourquin]

nah

[@Snackay]

Not even close to Wilson.

[@Fudgecave]

He seems forced, fake and not talented in any form of music. I find him to be a corporate puppet. And not a very good one.

[@mierDlock]

That's great! Very good interpretation and excellent band
