There seems to be some confusion about the track in the video -- it's apparently the McCoys' audio dubbed on the solo Derringer video.ย  Derringer's solo track had much more of an island vibe, which matches the instrumentation seen in the clip (marimba, steel drums).

AND, it's Edgar Winter on the marimba (audio, not the guy shown in the video).ย  Crazy back story.ย  Here's the solo version:
