.CliveDavis Talks Unreleased Whitney Houston Music, LilNasX's Coming Out
The film charts Davis’ unprecedented 50-year career, but beyond celebrating the New York native as a survivor and visionary, it also heralds him as an agent of social change.
When I look back at them individually and cumulatively, beginning with Janis Joplin, including the great Patti Smith, apart from Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox, beyond Whitney and Alicia, they’re not just successful. Without waxing enthusiastic or getting sentimental, each is an outstanding example of a brilliant, unique, Hall of Fame-kind of artist. It was really an honor for me to be involved with each of them.
I don’t think it was intentional at all. We were all very excited by it. Normally I always met with Whitney and we narrowed down songs that I and my A&R staff had come up with, which really was every song she recorded [during her years with Davis]. She wasn’t the type who ever went into the studio to vibe with someone. We had to have demos of each song she would be recording — there was no vibing in studios at all. That was not [her] process.
