The Man Behind the Music And What It Cost Them | The TRUE Clive Davis Story
Clive Davis passed away on June 22, 2026, at the age of 94. The tributes poured in immediately, but so did the stories that the mainstream press left out. In this video, I'm breaking down the documented, sourced history of how Davis treated some of his biggest artists: Phyllis Hyman's firing and decade-long erasure, Whitney Houston and the Grammy party that happened while her body was still in the building, Kelly Clarkson's public account of being called a "sh-tty writer" and told to shut up and sing, and TLC filing for bankruptcy on a $75 million album. This is not a conspiracy video. This is a history video. With receipts. #clivedavis #whitneyhouston #phyllishyman #grammys
