Kool and the Gang
I did cool to their early days before they declined and melted away and became lukewarm. Their second peak was in the 80s and for me they went from lukewarm back into cool again.
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?...

I am not a fan of Blues but there are exceptions... I admire John Lee Hooker voice singing so cool anybody feel in a hurry compared to him... I always like to hear him since 50 years and i love him so much it kill many others Blues singers for me ... I like Moody Blues but he was way less cool than Hooker...

When i envision cool its always 50's jazz artists that first come to mind, Thelonius Monk is the epitome of cool for me. Walking around on stage, humming, and that unique, sort of disjointed piano style, and the hip clothing, one suave dude! And I could go on and on with so many jazz and blues guys from 40's-70's.
John Lee Hooker, the voice alone makes him cool as hell!
Roy Orbison certainly cool, the shades man. Early Elvis. Mick Fleetwood with the balls. Mick Jagger and James Brown had the moves. Just at top of mind Tony Joe White, Polk Salad Annie song, he was one of those swamp dogs, speaking of Swamp Dog, he's been going a long time. I could go on and on. |
