“我自己的音乐产业生涯比这时间更长，要追溯到1965年，当时我刚刚开始运营哥伦比亚唱片。这真是长长的一段路——从签约詹妮丝•乔普林（Janis Joplin）到发掘惠特妮•休斯顿（Whitney Houston），从帮助桑塔纳（Santana）在1969年成名，到预见他在30年后戏剧性地回归，所有的故事，都会写进这本书。”

从鲍勃•迪伦（Bob Dylan）到保罗•西蒙（Paul Simon）

从惠特妮•休斯顿（Whitney Houston）到艾丽西娅·基斯（Alicia Keys）

在这本回忆录里，曾为布鲁斯•斯普林斯汀到惠特妮•休斯顿等巨星引路的男人分享了他成功的秘密。——《人物》

这本书里有太多不可思议的故事，简直是横贯整个音乐历史的一次漫步。——Ryan Seacrest

“The Midas Touch. Until now, no one has written a book that reveals as much about the industry as Mr. Davis’ book does. It is hard to imagine a better survey of popular music during its 50 year commercial peak than this one.” ——The Wall Street Journal

"The pages of The Soundtrack of My Life are filled with fantastic scenes and revelations." ——The Los Angeles Times

“Who put the bomp, Barry Mann asked in his 1961 single, in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp? Mr. Mann wanted to shake that person’s hand. For much of the 1960’s, 70’s, 80‘s 90’s and 00’s, a pretty good answer to that existential question was Clive Davis. As the head of Columbia Records and then Arista, the label he founded, Mr. Davis had a knack for introducing good singers to good material. The results tended to be explosive, as if he were dropping packages of Mentos into two-liter bottles of Diet Coke.” ——The New York Times

“The book shows why Davis holds a rarefied status in the music world — an executive almost as famous as his performers.” ——Associated Press
