Clive Davis, a legendary music executive who helped shape the careers of generations of artists including Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston, has died. He was 94. His publicist confirmed Davis died peacefully at his home in Manhattan on Monday of age-related illness, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Davis, a five-time Grammy Award winner, played a key role in furthering the work of artists across genres — R&B, jazz, rock, country, hip-hop and more. Davis wasn't drawn to music in his early years, and began his career as a lawyer.
