It’s a horribly common story. I knew several 80s artists in the exact same position. Gone from selling #1’s around the world to living on the bread line. Clive Davis, not so much.
This is why the music industry needs to die a horrible choking death. This story is too common and not just in this incident or timeframe.
Record companies spent the majority of the 20th century stealing the music of African Americans, poor country artists and wide-eyed youngsters.
Clive Davis is just one example of the hundreds of charlatans in this industry.
Snag them while their young. The drug here are the record companies.
