Cyndi Lauper praises wrestler
NEW YORK — Cyndi Lauper, pictured right, says professional wrestler "Captain” Lou Albano took her up the music charts.
The singer said Thursday that she was lucky to work with Albano on her music videos in the 1980s.
The rambunctious showman and wrestler died Oct. 14 in New York of natural causes.
Albano’s fame skyrocketed when he appeared in Lauper’s 1983 "Girls Just Want to Have Fun” music video, playing the singer’s dad.
Lauper says Albano took her up the charts "from 10, to 5, to 4 to 1, to minus 5 and back up to 1 again.”
She says it was "great fun, too.”
Albano, pictured left, was one of the most recognized figures in the
World Wrestling Federation during the 1980s, alongside such ring pros as
Hulk Hogan and "Rowdy”
Roddy Piper.
