I thought this was very good, very interesting to learn how he got where he is. Too bad it turned into a Whitney Houston tribute. Big thumbs down on that. Many of his artists suffered similar drug and alcohol issues, so why focus on her?

Very good....BUT
As if Davis produced his own legacy film
Extremely favorable overview of Clive Davis's legacy, glossing over and excusing potential blemishes in his career, but still interesting. The ridiculously fawning commentary from former colleagues, friends and family is overbearing at times.
Only complaint is I wish it were longer
This would have been even better if it were longer, like a 6 part series. I feel that way about most documentaries, even 'Country' which WAS 6 parts lol. I have to give it a 10 because you need to watch it so you know who this great man is, an icon in the music industry but not a household name. I've known who Clive was since my younger years, but didn't go down any rabbit holes on the topic of Clive Davis until recently. It's inspiring to know he's still working as I write this in 2020. Go Clive!!!
