Thank you. I also went to his wake and gave my condolences to his family. Also every time he and i saw he would allways say to me Jesus Bless You and God Bless you. Have a good day everybody and for all on my behalf as a friend of capt Lou Albano I thank all of you posters for your nice posts and support to a great man" Often Immatated, But never Duplicated" Louis Vincent Albano
Legend? Hell yes! I'll never forget back in '69 or so,he appeared at a wrestling event(Managing Crusher Verdue) and while Lou was standing by a doorway,my aunt went over and started an arguement with him,lol,too funny,RIP and thanks for the countless memories that will never fade
First and foremost..wishes to the family, friends and legion of fans! This is an awesome song!! I didn't know about it! Loved him as a wrestler then manager. Probably better manager lol Great on the mic. ANd..who can forget him as THE Mario? Saturday mornings were awesome!!! "OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!" Thanks for the memories and making childhood such a great time!! "DO THE MARIO!!"
Secondly, to those who would belittle fans in mourning..get a life. And a clue. People grieve how they choose to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol, i love how the lemming masses instinctively flock to youtube to post their obligatory yet redundant rip messages to people who CAN'T FUCKING HEAR YOU ANYMORE.
also, the super mario bros super show is still better than "professional" wrestling.
Truly one of the greatest wrestling managers and promo-cutters in the business! He helped marry sports and entertainment like none other. R.I.P Captain. I expect to see a worthy tribute on WWE tv and TNA
RIP Lou Albano! He was such a nice man and used to shop at the Grand Union that I worked at in Mahopac, NY. Always quick with a smile and a kind word, and always with a rubberband on his beard.
Capt. Lou Albano vs Sgt. Slaughter. Sgt. Slaughter guessed starred on SMBSS It would've awesome for Capt. LA(Mario) and Sgt. S to have wrestled on the show.
He was stiff with the live action sequences of Mario (in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show), but it was his voice that I think was his best contribution.
He was later replaced by Walker Boone, whom had a similar but "squeekier" voice in 1990, but it wasn't the same.
Danny Wells made Luigi who he is as a character today, with some refinements by Charles Martinet later on.
Danny, too, was replaced in 1990. This was by Tony Rosato.
Too much information I'm sure, but I had to reply.
Albano actually managed and performed with rockers NRBQ. He is now immortalized in the song "Captain Lou" on their Lou and the Q album. Don't let the novelty quality of this particular NRBQ song fool ya if you are among the initiated. NRBQ was a funny band that loved to play goofy stuff but these guys are the best around. Check out, Rocket in my pocket, Everybodys Smokin, Little Floater, Wild Weekend, 12 bar blues, yeah they had one foot in nerdville but the other was pure cool.
This song is a classic and kicks ass. Just because it doesn't have sampling and punk tempo doesn't make it bad. This is back when people actually had to play their instruments and record to a TAPE and get it right! 80%!!! 72%!! 12%!!! 12, 9, 8, 2, 4, 5, 6 3. Sound off.
Cap. Lou Albano & The Superfly my dad and i use to go to the capital center (landover, md) to see them. My dad is dead now but wow this song brings back the memories.
The Captain has always been an inspiration to me ... any many others, I'm sure! The song is a little sissy, though ... I think the captain would have to kick yer ass!! (kidding)
he was a heel when he started, but he later became a face. No i did not write this song, it is Captain Lou by NRBQ, Captain Lou was actually their mananger for a while, and he recroded an album with them called Lou and The Q, he actually appears on this song
Ill never forget you! Captain lou, and Mario :'(

Lou Albano signed my ring and also
wrote Jesus bless you. He was in the
wwe restaurant and I was a little skeptical
about asking for an autograph. He had a
security guard with an attitude guarding him. my friend told me if you want his
autograph,you go ahead. guard said make it quick and I had a chance to chat
with him a little. Now I
m glad I did.
