This history of Arista Records, from its 1960s roots in Bell Records through the transformative success of Whitney Houston in the mid-'80s, tells the story of a record label, its visionary leader, Clive Davis, and the artists and genres it embraced and promoted: Barry Manilow, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, the Kinks and many others.
Author Mitchell Cohen, a well-known music journalist who served as an A&R executive at Arista, interviewed dozens of artists and former colleagues to produce this detailed and thoughtful account of how Arista Records reflected its place and time: New York in the 1970s and early 1980s.

A Grammy nominee, Mitchell Cohen has written about music and film for such publications as Creem, High Fidelity, Film Comment, the Village Voice, Musician and Phonograph Record. He began working at Arista Records in the late ’70s, as a publicity and advertising copywriter, and then as one of the label’s A&R executives, until leaving the label in 1993. He has won a Clio Award and is the co-author of the books All These Things That I’ve Done (with Matt Pinfield) and two volumes of The White Label Promo Preservation Society (with Sal Maida).
