Carly Simon Talks About Aiding In John Forte's Pardon
Posted: Saturday - November 29, 2008

As previously reported by Yo! Raps, President George W. Bush pardoned former Fugees producer John Forte. Now Carly Simon has come forward to discuss her role in the musician's premature release.

In an interview with the New York Post, Simon described her relationship with the currently imprisoned artist who was a classmate and friend of her son, Ben Taylor. Calling Forte " ... a very talented young man," Simon said that her connection to the fallen star was "instant."

With the assistance of Senator Orrin Hatch, Simon was able to able to help Forte get transferred from a Pennsylvania prison to Fort Dix so he could be closer to his family. She also helped arrange for him to have a guitar in prison.

"[Hatch] is not just a Republican but also a great human being," Simon told the Post. "He couldn't have been more terrific during this entire process. He was always very impressed with everything that I brought to his attention regarding John."

Best known for his production on the Fugees' album The Score, Forte was arrested in 2000 after police found him to be in possession of almost $1.4 million dollars in liquid cocaine.

Forte has served 7 years of his 14 year sentence. He is expected to be release sometime next month.
