Whitney Houston!: The Spectacular Rise And Tragic Fall Of The Woman Whose Voice Inspired A Generation - Plot & Excerpts
CHAPTER FOUR “ENTER: CLIVE DAVIS” It was quite clear in April of 1983, when Whitney Houston signed her Arista Records contract, that it was a top-priority signing, and that the company had every intention of making sure that she was going to become a major star. Of course, in show business one can package, produce, and present a record, a movie, or a product with every intention of making it a hit, but it doesn’t always work. However, when Clive Davis, the founder and president of Arista Records took Whitney under his wing, from the very first day, she was personally being groomed to accomplish great things. Davis is something of a legend in the record business. He had made his mark in the recording business at Columbia Records by discovering, signing, and developing stars like Santana, Janis Joplin, and Sly…The Family Stone. Arista Records was born in 1974 when Davis left Columbia Records and took over a small company called Bell Records.
