ShowBiz 411, 16 May 2021 Last night, to raise funds for the Grammy Museum and Musicares, [Clive] Davis conducted a six hour Zoom gala in which he interviewed superstars who are publicity shy and featured rare video and live performances by A listers. The show began at 7pm and ended at 1am. At the end, [Davis] conducted a short after party on line for those still awake, including everyone on the west coast. On his interview list: Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Dionne Warwick, Berry Gordy, Chris Stapleton, Oprah Winfrey, Donovan, Barry Manilow, Dave Grohl, and Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana, whose hit “Smooth” was a Davis production. Rock stars like John Fogerty, Carly Simon, songwriters Valerie Simpson and Carole Bayer Sager, and many more remained plugged in for the six hours. Motown chief Berry Gordy, who’s 91, told Davis, 89, that he once considered himself Davis’s rival and is now thrilled to be his friend.
