Gnarls Barkley is a Grammy-award winning musical collaboration between DJ, multi-instrumentalist and producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) and rapper/vocalist Cee-Lo Green (Thomas Callaway), from Atlanta. Their first album, St. Elsewhere, was released by Warner Music on April 24, 2006 in the UK and on May 9 in the US by Atlantic/Downtown Records. It was made available for download one week earlier in the US via the iTunes Music Store and other online download stores. Their first hit, "Crazy", was the biggest-selling single in the UK in 2006. Despite similarities between their names, the group has stated that its name is not a reference to Hall of Fame basketball player Charles Barkley.
Prior to their collaboration, both had their own lengthy careers.
