Really wonderful memories, Wayne, written with such fondness. I met Clive once, remind to tell you the story sometime.

I look forward to hearing it. We’re seeing Paul Simon July 7 (a gift from my daughter, so I couldn’t say no) at Forest Hills too. These 84, 85 year old guys, you can’t stop ‘em.

He was an adventure for sure. What an ear, what a rive, what a life! Thank you, Clive!

I was fortunate to get to know him, watch him operate, so early in my career.

Thanks for sharing those memories, Wayne.

Clive Davis was one of the great 'record men,' and there are all too few of them left. . . and your descriptions of him reinforce my admiration, he was a true music lover.

Yeah, it was him, Mo Ostin, and Ahmet who ruled. Never met Mo, ran into Ahmet a few times.
