A true visionary. Clive Davis uniquely transformed the music industry, guiding superstar voices and leading record labels while ultimately becoming a cultural icon himself. We are saddened for his family, and his loss will be deeply felt in many spaces.
Clive Davis, the music executive who founded Arista Records and J Records and helped shape the careers of Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana, Janis Joplin, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood and many others, has died at age 94. rollingstone.com/music/music…
