Clive Davis is working on a pre-Grammy documentary.

Page Six exclusively reported that the music legend and Arista Records founder is currently making a documentary about his annual pre-Grammy gala.

Clive Davis' New Documentary

Tentatively titled, "The Greatest Party Ever," Davis shared a sneak peek of his new documentary by sharing its 12-minute trailer with his annual Memorial Day weekend soiree's guests at his estate in Pound Ridge, New York City.

Davis' documentary - being produced by Jesse Collins and directed by Rob Ford - might reportedly feature highlights and performances of his pre-Grammy celebration's 50-year run, Page Six reported.

A source told the news outlet that the documentary would be "extraordinary with several guests shedding tears" especially in Whitney Houston's section. The late "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" hitmaker missed Davis' pre-Grammy party in 2012 as she was found dead in a bathtub hours before the event.


Davis and his team are yet to share more details about the upcoming documentary, but he previously spoke about his famous pre-Grammy party in an interview.

Clive Davis Celebrates Return of Pre-GRAMMY Gala

In February, GRAMMY.com spoke with Davis at Beverly Hilton and asked him several queries about the return of his party. The pre-Grammy party returned after years of hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Davis, he felt great to return, especially since he had been receiving positive emails regarding his party. He also shared his thoughts about the state of the music industry and what its future looks like.

"People ask, "Is there a legitimate future in the industry?" And the answer is, music is a necessity and it will be here to stay," he said. "So I feel very good that the industry is healthy, and the streaming and digital evolution, and that those entering a career in the industry will take it wherever that goes in the future."

Elsewhere in the interview, Davis spoke about his love and admiration for Beyonce and Harry Styles. However, he also expressed his worries as there has not been a new Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Whitney Houston in the industry.

Despite that, the record producer takes it as a challenge to find another breathtaking voice and take it somewhere it can call "home."

In the past months, the 90-year-old music legend worked on different projects, including Whitney Houston's biopic, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," and hosted the Paramount+ series "Clive Davis: Most Iconic Performances."
