CLIVE DAVIS: "Once Before I Go"

About this episode

Delilah interviews music legend Clive Davis about his career and his recent collaboration with Barry Manilow.

Some days are better than others, and the day I sat down with a legend in the music industry, Clive Davis, was a very good day indeed! Clive has been bringing hits to the airwaves for over 50 years. He founded Arista Records and "discovered" an incredible number of artists that went on to become super star sensations. It was he who suggested to a young Barry Manilow that he should record "Mandy", and we all know how that went! Clive, nearly 94, and Barry, nearly 83, have teamed up once again to bring us one more hit. "Once Before I Go" has recently hit the Top 10 on the A/C Music Charts, and is hitting listeners right in the feels! Join us today to hear Clive tell us, why this, why now, why Barry?  I was so honored to have this conversation! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
