Non-Fiction Memoir
In this star-studded autobiography, Clive Davis shares a
personal, candid look into his remarkable life and the last
fifty years of popular music as only a true insider
can. In the history of popular music, no one looms as
large as Clive Davis. His career has spanned more than forty
years, and he has discovered, signed, or worked with a
staggering array of artists: Whitney Houston, Janis Joplin,
Simon and Garfunkel, Barry Manilow, Patti Smith, Lou Reed,
Dionne Warwick, Carlos Santana, The Grateful Dead, Alicia
Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Aretha Franklin,
to name a few. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, and
hosted the world’s highest profile parties. In
this fully illustrated, personal account, Davis tells all,
from becoming an orphan in high school and getting through
college and law school on scholarships, to being falsely
accused of embezzlement and starting up his own record
company, J Records. His wealth of experience offers valuable
insight into the evolution of the music business over the
past half-century and into the future. Told
with Davis’s unmatched wit, frankness, and style, The
Soundtrack of My Life exposes a trove of
never-before-heard stories—some hilarious, others tragic,
all revealing—that will captivate and inspire all music lovers.
