Captain Sunshine with Synth Steel Drums?

I heard Neil Diamond's Captain Sunshine while at a pub this afternoon in northern B.C. Or was it a cover? It had a synth streel drum solo. Help me find the Captain Sunshine with Steel Drums.

Intrigued? The song appeared between a top 40 sounding pop track and Limp Bizkit's Nookie, which makes me think Youtube autoplay or maybe Spotify had gone off the rails. Anyways, what made thos version of Captain Sunshine so awesome was a synth steel drum solo entered the track about halfway through, echoing the melody. I have looked for Karaoke versions on YouTube to no avail so far. Any ND fans out there have any ideas? 💡

Best answer: Is this it? https://youtu.be/L0FcVF1XqFs Evidently a 2001 version recorded in tribute to Vince Charles.
