NEW YORK (AP) — When Clive Davis announced his latest project — a Broadway revival of “My Fair Lady” next year — it seemed to mark a step away from the music mogul’s laser-like focus of making hits — and hitmakers.

But Davis still has his eyes on the charts. With “My Fair Lady,” his goal is to bring Broadway back to the days when its songs topped the charts, something that hasn’t been the case for the Great White Way in some time.

“Even ‘Book of Mormon’ does not have memorable songs, classic songs that the era of the ’20s, ’30s produced. … so I looked into the rights of ‘My Fair Lady,'” Davis said happily in his two-floor penthouse apartment in midtown Manhattan. “I really want to make an event of it.”

It’s a lofty goal — but it’s one that wouldn’t surprise many if reached by Davis, whose iconic career has included making superstars of acts as varied as Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow and Alicia Keys, creating second acts for legends like Aretha Franklin and Santana, and playing an integral role in the careers many others, including Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin and Billy Joel.

Given record executive and producer Clive Davis’ long and impressive track record in the music business, it begs the question: Which artist’s career hasn’t he touched?

From his early years as president of Columbia Records in the mid-1960s through the early ’70s, and then later as the founder of Arista Records and J Records, Davis, 80, has either signed or guided the careers of many successful artists, including Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Chicago, Santana, Aerosmith, Neil Diamond, Sly and the Family Stone, Barry Manilow, Patti Smith, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Alan Jackson, Kenny G and Alicia Keys. With a knowledge of what would work aesthetically for an artist and also translate into commercial success, Davis has generated hit after hit as he is now in his sixth decade in the business currently as the chief creative officer at Sony Music Entertainment.
