Davis passed away from an age-related illness, surrounded by his family and loved ones. As president of Columbia Records from 1967 to 1973, he shepherded the label into the rock era, signing artists including Janis Joplin, Santana, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen.\n\nDavis founded Arista Records in 1974 after leaving Columbia, going on to sign Whitney Houston — whom he discovered at age 19 — Barry Manilow, and Alicia Keys. His ear for talent and insistence on meticulous artist development made him the architect behind some of pop music's defining careers. He was inducted into the Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 as a non-performer, one of only a handful of executives ever to receive that honor.\n\nSurvivors include three sons, a daughter, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and his long-time partner. His legendary pre-Grammy parties in Beverly Hills, attended by the biggest names in music for decades, will stand as one of the industry's most storied traditions."}}
