It doesn't seem possible. An slightly older bald guy, with a more than considerable amount of cool. Even when older, with graying sideburns, pink polyester cape and shorts, and white go-go boots, he still has something of a cool old dude thing going on (see this video). Only one person could pull that shit off, Rufus Thomas. He recorded for a few different labels, among them, Sun and Stax; and either of those alone would be enough. The stuff below is middle era, most, if not all, from Stax. For you with an ear toward funkier stuff, I strongly suggest "Itch and Scratch," and "Funky Hot Grits."
