Video: Cee Lo Gets Suave in 'It's OK' Clip

Cee Lo has released a new video for his song "It's OK," from his recent Lady Killer LP.

In "It's OK," Cee Lo — who was nominated for five Grammys on Wednesday night — continues the 1960s/Motown vibe of the video for the Grammy-nominated "Fuck You", but in a much more stylish, ethereal setting of city streets and swank apartments.

The video is loaded with retro decor, animation and typefaces (words from the lyrics pop up throughout the clip), and Cee Lo is accompanied throughout by three women in matching, vibrantly colored dresses. He pursues each one separately early in the clip, but all three join him at the end, performing Supremes-style synchronized dance moves.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
