Lou Albano the former "wrestler" and "manager" with the WWF (now WWE).
Died a few days ago at 76. A graduate of my high school – Stepinac ( I only just found that out).
I remember him AND this video he made with Cyndi Lauper. Remember Cyndi Lauper? Back around the time "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" came out (1985), I was briefly infatuated. Around then, Time Magazine had a feature on Lauper and Madonna, asking the question "Who would be the bigger star?". They got it wrong, opting for Lauper.
I can't embed the video, but if you go here Captain Lou Albano Dies at 76 — PopEater or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mft3_A6qtRA you can see it. It's fun.
Here's Lou Albano's interesting bio –
Lou Albano – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albano's brother, Carl, taught health for 32 years at Ridgewood High School in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and was head of the Ridgewood High health department from 1974 until 2001.[18] Carl Albano's students have noted that he used his brother Lou as an example of the difference between crazy and unique.
