A valedictory for Mr. Davis, the music executive whose Midas touch with radio hits across genres - especially at Arista Records, from 1975-2000 - is industry legend.

Director Chris Perkel... hasn't made a movie so much as a prolonged tribute reel with ample material to fuel a dozen lifetime achievement award ceremonies.

| Original Score: C- | May 5, 2017

Perkel packs in a lot of information, plenty of tasty stories, and some marvelous archival clips.

Although CLIVE DAVIS: THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES is deliberate in its depiction of Davis, and surely won't satisfy folks looking for something more exploitative... it does hold true to its title reflecting music that defined generations and defied time.

From Miles Davis to Janis Joplin to The Notorious B.I.G. to Whitney Houston, if you love music, you will love this documentary.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 20, 2017
