The cool factor- who has it?

50's, 60's or 70's Elvis, he practically invented R&R cool.

Contemporary cool - Leon Bridges, Son Little, Jaten Collin Dimsdale (Teddy Swims) Black Pumas, The Roots and Quest Love, Joss Stone, lots of truly cool people out there today making music. 

Lots of votes for Miles. Not surprising. Many other artists mentioned here whom I hadn’t heard of. I will try them. I think Joe Cocker (listen to St. James Infirmary ), Jimi Hendrix was cool. Later SRV. Chet Baker, for sure. Les Paul I would add. I would add Sade, Bonnie Raitt, and Natalie Merchant.  But then who can forget the J Geils Band and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band! Block of ice cool.

I was planning to write something very similar, so thank you!

I listen to Schifrin's Bullitt soundtrack once every few months, and re-watch the film every three or four years, and never tire of them.

Dean Martin 

Nat King Cole

Johnny Adams

Boz Scaggs

Leonard Cohen 

Willie Nelson (incredible that Willie just released a great new album and wrote hit songs for Patsy Cline-that’s as cool as it gets)
