Hot on the promo trail of his new memoir ‘The Soundtrack of My Life’, this morning saw legendary music mogul Clive Davis drop by the ‘Wendy Williams’ show to discuss it and its juicy details.

Sharing thoughts on how her reported drug use and/or consequent death could’ve been avoided, the two chatted about everything from her ill-fated 2001 Michael Jackson tribute performance to his now infamous 2012 Grammy party (which carried on while Whitney’s deceased body was still in the building).
