The Soundtrack of My Life by Clive Davis

A star-studded autobiography and much more!
The honor roll of Clive Davis' music discoveries and associates seems to go into infinity, with such names as Whitney Houston, Janis Joplin, Alicia Keyes, Simon & Garfunkel, Lou Reed, Carlos Santana, Jennifer Hudson, Aretha Franklin, The Grateful Dead, Patti Smith, Kelly Clarkson . . . the list of names can go on and on and on. 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.
Clive's autobiography displays the intelligence and professional savvy of an exceptionally retentive octogenarian. Perhaps not surprisingly, the story of his own life emerges as just as fascinating as that of his musical finds: Orphaned at fourteen and left to his own devices, he pieced together his own success, winning scholarships and launching his own business. 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,Star-studded and 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, Clive exposes a trove of never-before-heard stories—some hilarious,others tragic,all revealing— that is sure to captivate and inspire all music lovers.

A remarkable talent who displayed  theatrical longevity, appearing in films until the 1930s, and continuing to perform as a headline artist until 1940.   His name was George Michael Cohan , born in 1878 in Providence, Rhode Island, to Irish Catholic parents.

Achieving it will require the participation of librarians, authors, government officials and technologists. Imagine what a comprehensive, open library could be!

Improve the records we have for the books you love – every record is fully editable by clicking the “edit” button on the page. If Open Library don't have a record for a book, you can create one where logged users are allowed to add records on Open Library.  If you're a library with digitized resources, tell Open Library where they are and they will point peo...
