THE DUKE LIVES ONAfter spending three weeks at number one on the Billboard Magazine charts, Chandler got a cape, a monocle, a top hat and a cane. He simply became 'The Duke of Earl' and his concerts drew a large crowd. Occasionally he would come out for an encore, usually 'Rainbow.' 'Rainbow' was one of Chandler's collaborations with Curtis Mayfield, and the only song Chandler has ever recorded three times. Each time the song has been re-recorded, it became a hit all over again.
