Curtis Forte

1950 - Nov. 2002

 

Curtis Forte was one of the original mobile disc jockeys in the New York City area. Also, known as Phase 1, he played at parties all over Queens, Brooklyn. Long Island and Manhattan. He was the master woodworker for Richard Long & Associates, building the speakers for the most famous sound systems in the world. His mobile system was second to none being the same speakers used in RLA's famous clubs. His spinning was flawless keeping the party goers wanting more.

    We were never close as he and my bro. We had absolutely nothing in common.He was into deejaying and motorcycles i was into sports. Maybe we just didnt try hard enough to get to know each other. I TRIED DEEJAYING I SUCKED BADLY he tried basketball,he was aiiight. We jus didnt click. None the less he was my pops and i LOVED HIM, STILL DO, ALWAYS WILL.He did his best and i thank him for that. Still the best dj ever heard. My only regret is he never met his daughter in law and his grandchildren, KRYSTLE,KAI,AND KANDIS. MISSING YOU

    I worked with Curtis building speakers for the LOVE LITE, W-22 st, owned by Leroy Washington
    He was a great guy. The most lasting impression was one day his son came to visit, and when he was leaving they kissed each other on the mouth. I cried with envy. I wished my son and I were that close.

    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.
