Trailblazing Music Mogul, 93, Is Suave in Satin for Rare Public Appearance to Receive Great Honor originally appeared on Parade.

At 93 years old, Clive Davis proved that style and legacy never go out of fashion!

The legendary music executive made a rare public appearance at the Apollo Theater’s 2025 Spring Benefit on Wednesday, June 4, where he was honored with the prestigious Legacy Award and inducted into the theater’s iconic Walk of Fame.

Davis—known for his pivotal role in shaping the careers of renowned artists like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen,Dionne Warwick, Barry Manilow, Alicia Keys, and countless others—cut a suave figure at the event, arriving in a sleek, satin champagne-colored blazer with velvet lapels that matched the evening’s elegance and significance. The ensemble was completed by a gold silk tie and pocket square combo, white shirt, black pants and matching shoes.

While taking the stage to deliver his acceptance speech, Davis emphasized the Apollo’s significance in championing Black music, stating, “Black music is an essential part of American culture. There is no single institution that has done more to champion the truth of Black music than the Apollo Theater,” per Vogue.

The benefit, marking the Apollo’s 91st anniversary and its final event before a historic renovation, was a star-studded affair. Hosted by comedian Kym Whitley, the evening featured performances by Martha Redbone, Deborah Cox, Method Man, and Busta Rhymes. Babyface, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Monica were also in attendance.

Teyana Taylor, a Harlem native, received the inaugural Innovator Award at the ceremony, presented by Dapper Dan and Sherri Shepherd. In her heartfelt speech, Taylor reflected on her first performance at the Apollo at just eight years old, expressing gratitude for the theater’s role in her life.
