Clive Davis won four Grammys over the course of his six-decade career. Fittingly, for someone who worked in multiple genres, he won best album honors as a producer in three distinct genres – best rock album (as well as album of the year) for Santana’s comeback album Supernatural in 2000, best pop vocal album for Kelly Clarkson’s sophomore album Breakaway in 2006; and best R&B album for Jennifer Hudson’s eponymous debut album in 2009.
Davis, who died on Monday at age 94, also received a Trustees Award from the Recording Academy in 2000.

Davis was first nominated for best R&B album as a producer of Whitney Houston’s My Love Is Your Love in 1999. In addition, he was twice nominated for record of the year, as a co-producer of a pair of No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: Barry Manilow’s “Mandy” in 1976 and Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” in 2009.
Davis was involved with many other Grammy winners, though he didn’t personally win for those recordings. In 1970-71, while he was president of Columbia Records, Blood, Sweat & Tears’ Blood, Sweat & Tears and Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water won back-to-back awards for album of the year. In 1994, while he headed Arista Records, Houston’s The Bodyguard soundtrack won in that category. His best new artist winners over the years include Alicia Keys (2002, on J Records), Toni Braxton (1994, on LaFace/Arista) and, ahem, Milli Vanilli (1990, on Arista). (The duo’s award, of course, was revoked in a lip-syncing scandal.)
It is very rare to win Grammys in pop, rock and R&B, three flagship genres of American music — though, to be sure, not the only ones. Just three artists have achieved the feat. Many more artists came close but didn’t win in all three of these genres. Beyoncé has yet to win a rock Grammy, though she was nominated in 2018 for “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” a collab with Jack White. Prince and Donna Summer never won in pop.
Here’s a report on the three artists who won Grammys in pop, rock and R&B.
