Who does Michael Kiwanuka sound like?

Maybe marginal for DAK but hopefully this might make the cut…
I was out with friends tonight who don’t really follow popular music but they know that I do and that I’m glued to the TV coverage every Glastonbury weekend. They asked me for my highlights (kind of them but pointless since they will never have heard of anyone I mention) and Michael Kiwanuka was one I mentioned (pole position in my opinion). They asked me who he sounded like - from their frame of reference relative to only famous people from the 1970s or earlier - and I really couldn’t come up with anyone. That might be down to my teenager-in-the-1970s restricted knowledge so I’d be interested to hear if anyone can suggest a credible answer.
