A lot of great tracks on here. I'd have to add Smokey, Part II, and second Mercy, Mercy by cannonball Adderly. Same for Sultans of Swing and a long list of stuff by Dire Straits. Black Coffee by Peggy Lee does it for me, too. It's interesting that no one mentions the man thought to be the ultimate of cool, Frank Sinatra. I wouldn't choose him either, probably because he became so self-congratulatory and a caraciture of h8imself in later years.
