YOUR COMMENTS ON Curtis Forte

Early in my life Curtis Forte' was GOD to me. I patterned my life after him. I became a DJ just to be like him. I ride my motorcycle 180+ Mph mainly to give him a smile as he looks down on me here on earth. I remember him being a very popular and sought after DJ. I remember his system being more power than Most Discos in his time. I recall him giving a lot of DJ's their start. I remember him as my father. If he could read this now I'd want him to know that his granddaughter is well.
He was a GREAT grandfather.
R.I.P.
