Wednesday, July 25, 2007
Clive Davis is the record industry powerbroker who launched the careers of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Carlos Santana, and Alicia Keys. Today, he talks about forty years of being a hands-on executive, and he considers today's volatile music industry.
The career of Clive Davis took off 40 years ago this summer when he attended the Monterey Pop Festival. He's been the head of CBS and then Arista Records, and now is the chairman and CEO of BMG Music U.S., where he heads a recording empire that includes some 170 artists. We speak with Davis from his offices in Midtown.
