The cool factor- who has it?

My question relates to music and musical artist's performance and music. Who has that COOL factor?  In the past or currently. For example I think the Beatles had it and also Bob Marley. Today I think Lenny Kravitz (if for nothing certainly for his longevity).

Thoughts?...

‘Cool’ and ‘Elegant’ aren’t the same thing but are interstitial . The coolest musician that I ever spoke with was undoubtedly McCoy Tyner. Completely different but a close second was Delbert McClinton so real authenticity might be a factor. Honorable mention to Jon Faddis with whom I shared a stalled elevator at the Blackstone in Chicago long ago. A kind and well spoken man; also the best dressed guy I have ever seen.
