is Cee-Lo really related to Cab Calloway, and, if so, how?

I know I've seen this suggested somewhere, but, for REAL?

Or are they just two unrelated awesome dudes with the last name Calloway?

seems to me the recent NYTimes puff piece on Gnarls Barkley woulda mentioned that, if it were true...

Cee-Lo is Cab Calloway's grandmother.

I said it on ILM strictly as a joke because Huk asked if he was related to Al Green, based on surname. If that's the only place you've seen it suggested, Strongo can probably rain a cleansing fire on this thread.

No, but he's related to these guys:

Personally, I salute his indefatigability. BTW - 'wanker':
almost definately, 'fascist' - not in your wildest dreams or nightmares. I would start somewhere around Capitol Hill if your looking for fascists...
