For some of us he might better be known as "Super Dave Osborne."

Daryl Dragon aka “The Captain” of the 70s duo The Captain and Tenille. Also 76 years old.

Tough start to the year! I think I would have had only one of those considered for my list (Okerlund's health took a major downturn at the end of 2018), but crazy to start off with a few that reasonably could have been on lists so fast in the year.

[Musk21]

Get your lists in today...Could use a few more! Would like to exceed last year's entrants.
