I still believe in the power of a great song, it can come into your ear and whop you up side of your head so bad you can't do nothing but play it over and over. Seems there's a lot of things on the air these days that I don't consider great, and maybe only one out of every ten thousand is great anyway. They all took somebody writing them, working them, getting them out there somehow, some way. Hats off to all of the effort it takes to get one cut and out there. The great songs Clive Davis speaks of are those one in ten thousand that grab the sh*t out of you. Those make great artists more memorable, from his perspective, given the level of talent he works with, I think he's earned the right to consider his advice wisdom.
