On June 22, 2026, Clive Davis — a Brooklyn-born lawyer who became the most consequential ear in modern American music — died peacefully at his Manhattan home at the age of 94. For seven decades, he did not merely participate in popular culture; he quietly authored much of it, hearing in unknown voices the sounds that would define generations. His passing closes a chapter that stretched from the folk revival of the 1960s through the streaming era, leaving behind a catalog of discovered genius that reads like the history of the American song itself.
