Grammy winner Cee Lo Green gave the crowd a night they'll never forget at the April 19th taping of his "VH1 Storytellers" in Culver City, CA. During the taping, Cee Lo performed a selection of 10 songs in front of a very intimate 150-member audience. Starting the night off with "Crazy," Cee Lo told the audience, "I started this journey not for glory, not for fame, not for fortune, but... for fun!" From there Cee Lo was reunited on stage with Goodie Mob and surprised fans by announcing the group would be getting back together for a future album. After that, the night took a sentimental turn as Cee Lo sang for the first time "She Knows" dedicating it to his mother who passed away when he was a teenager. While tearing up, he told the crowd "I feel like I'm living out her dream, her want for me." The two-hour long taping of "VH1 Storytellers" also included crowd pleasers "Forget You" and "Bright Lights Bigger City" which Cee Lo said "is a song dedicated to regular people working for the weekend, living for Friday and Saturday night," both from his current album, "The Lady Killer."
