Duke of Earl song, who's version?


I know Gene Chandler is the original but who was that in the movie at the end? Even if it was John Goodman, who's version was it?

He did really well with the high parts. I remember singing that song in my Senior year for the guys choir. I sing bass, and I'll be damned if I, a big guy myself, could get that high. It's a real chore, so he definately deserves credit for his voice range, because he was also singing low.
