““Clive had his hand on so many different things across all different genres of music,” says producer Jimmy Jam , who, along with his partner Terry Lewis, worked on a number of records at labels Davis ran — which would include Arista Records, launched in 1974, and J Records, the instant-major he founded in 2000.”

““It’s very rare that somebody goes beyond the scope of just the music industry in terms of recognition, and Clive did that.”
“(“He’s 94 years old; he’s standing up for a three-hour show,” Springsteen marveled at the funeral.) Over Memorial Day weekend, Davis hosted family and friends at his Pound Ridge, New York, estate.”
“I can guarantee you it will be one of your biggest hits internationally.’ … Well, guess what?”
““ ‘Heartbreaker’ was one I did not want to record.… And he called me and said, ‘Dionne, you have to record this song.”
“And the list was long and impressive: Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs,” Melissa Manchester’s “Don’t Cry Out Loud,” and Whitney Houston’s smash remake of “I Will Always Love You,” to name a few.”
“He was in the studio till three, four in the morning, going over the tracks with the band.”
“That was Clive.” Indeed, some of Davis’ biggest successes were the executives and creatives he mentored and championed, like Larry Jackson, who founded Gamma (home to Kanye West and Usher) after a decade at Apple.”
“31 this year, with Davis seated for his hosting duties, Art Garfunkel took the Grammy party stage around 11 p.m., capping off a night that showcased of-the-moment stars like Olivia Dean and Sombr, regulars Jennifer Hudson and John Legend, hip-hop stars Clipse, and a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne featuring MGK and Jelly Roll.”
““And I say that with love.” The award-winning songwriter, responsible for eternal hits like Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” and Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time,” was referencing Davis’ annual pre-Grammy gala, a star-studded Saturday-night soiree where music industry heavies, politicians, and other VIPs co-mingled for years as top talent took the stage to deliver unforgettable performances.”
“To hear his closest associates tell it, the magic was in the match — pairing the talent with the tune.”
““Nobody in the industry would touch the Great American Songbook.”
