The world lost a music icon yesterday. 💔🎵 Clive Davis, born into a working-class Jewish family in Brooklyn, went on to become—while not a performer himself—one of the most integral figures in modern music history. He was responsible for discovering and signing a massive, diverse array of artists who define the very fabric of American and global culture today. Beyond his legendary ear for talent, what truly set Clive apart was his genuine commitment to the best interests of artists. In this classic 2013 interview snippet with David Letterman, he shares a story about offering career advice to the members of The Grateful Dead 🌹💀 despite the band not even being signed to Columbia Records at the time. After his instincts (of course!) proved entirely correct, the band later signed with his new label, Arista Records. Fare thee well to an incredible musical legend. He will be deeply missed. 🎥: Letterman via YT - @rebooters
