Stars and recording artists showed up in force for the premiere of Apple Music’s documentary Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives, on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
“Clive Davis will always be relevant because he’s very forward-thinking. He’s never behind, he’s ahead,” said Ralph Johnson of Earth, Wind & Fire on the black carpet outside the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
Naturally, all of the artists in attendance sang the music mogul’s praises. When asked about Davis’ greatest achievement, Carlos Santana couldn’t pick just one: “Vision. Tenacity. Conviction,” the legendary guitarist told The Hollywood Reporter. “And he trusts his...

[[tmz:video id="0_ry7lwub0"]] One of Earth, Wind & Fire's Og members says Blue Ivy Carter is not a shoo-in for stardom, despite her lineage ... but it sure helps. We got Ralph Johnson at Lax, and talked to him about Blue doing her thang to "September" during her ballet recital.

New York -- Earth, Wind and Fire initially wanted to release its new album around the 2012 presidential election, but the band realized it wasn't satisfied with the songs it created.
"We have a lot more bells and whistles in place now and the record is better," singer Philip Bailey said in a recent interview.
"Now, Then & Forever," the group's first album in eight years, will be released Sept. 10. Bailey said the band called co-founding member Larry Dunn and others to help produce its latest sound.
"I said, `Let's go back to the drawing board,'" he recalled. "It's a great representation of who Earth, Wind and Fire is now, but not departing from the classic sound."
"It doesn't sound like we're trying to be anyone other than Earth, Wind and Fire," added bassist Verdine White.
The band – which includes founder Maurice White and Ralph Johnson – has worked on the album for two years.

The Quick Pitch: Partners Sean MacPherson and Jared Meisler—the team behind Bar Lubitsch, the Roger Room and new Italian restaurant Il Covo, among many others—have taken over the old Ye Coach & Horses in Hollywood (long a favorite of everyone from Tom Waits to Quentin Tarantino), glamming up its interior a bit in the process. They’ve brought on Spotted Pig vet Ralph Johnson for the modernized menu of classic British pub grub, from fish & chips to Welsh rarebit. The Insider’s Dish: That rear room gallery lined with Maharajah portraits hand-painted in India is in part a quiet nod to the
