Legendary record producer Clive Davis has shared his thoughts on the unique deal he gave Whitney Houston to secure. He explains that a record executive begins with signing or appraising the audition of an artist and focuses on narrow choices. He credits social media dominance over hip-hop, which is now dependent on social media, for influencing artists' fortunes. Davis also discusses his collaboration with Alicia Keys and how he would never change the quality of music written or recorded today. He notes that he still keeps current music and observes chart records and orders closely.
