RIP John Forte Passes Away at 50

A tribute from Lauryn Hill:







Well said, Lauryn. Nice tribute.


I still remember buying The Fugees' classic album in 1996. Forte made it better being included. I was down on Robson Street in Vancouver running a few errands with friends in high school. We stopped off at the music store and bought it to play in the car. Then we went by the Holt Renfrew store in the area (higher end stuff we could never afford). We ended up spotting Blue Edwards and his family in the store during the Grizzlies' inaugural season. We quickly went to the staff and asked if we could borrow a pen and paper, and they chuckled as they knew we were going to get autographs. Then we made our way over and asked if he wouldn't mind signing, and talked to him briefly about how the season was going.


Played that album for a number of years in the car.
