, Paul Simon, H.E.R., Dave Grohl, Dionne Warwick and Chris Stapleton. When awards season returns in a presumably post-pandemic 2022, Davis will probably return to the usual performance-based Beverly Hills parties to which guests have become accustomed, but at least a few will miss his 2021 talk-show format.Joni Mitchell
“Well, you know, when I first started writing less from fantasy,” Mitchell said, “when I started scraping my own soul more and getting more humanity in it, it scared the singer-songwriters around me. The men seemed be nervous about it, almost like Dylan plugging in and going electric. Like, ‘Does this mean we have to donow?'” she laughed. “But over time, I think it did make an influence. I think it encouraged people to write more from their own experience.
“I think it’s one of my favorite Prince songs ever,” said H.E.R., who told Davis she’d first been motivated to pick up the guitar by watching the late performer. “The message is so powerful, and we lost a lot of people in 2020. I think we’ve learned just to love the people we love, even to hold them tighter, hold them closer, because as you can see, life is so short, and things happen and sometimes we can’t reach them. And I think 2020 really taught us that.
Dionne Warwick has her own favorite rapper now, as a result of her very unusual 2020. One of Davis’ big success stories as a reclamation project after she came to his Arista label after a downturn in her career, Warwick has been experiencing yet another career resurgence as a result of her unlikely stardom as a Twitterer. That’s led to at least one one-off project with one of the figures she joked about on social media, Chance the Rapper.
The mogul-host asked if it would be difficult for John to resume his farewell tour after the enforced extended lull of the pandemic. Said Davis, “I remember when she sang ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’ to your audience, and I saw that audience reaction. I was so personally hopeful after her epic interview with you that she would return committed to be the Whitney that I loved and cherished from the time I signed her in 1983. After her interview, were you hopeful for her as I was?”
Davis played a clip of Mitchell performing “Both Sides Now” with an orchestra in 2000, filmed to promote an album of that name she released with all-new symphonic rearrangements of her classic songs. Mitchell said it was a song that better suited her later in life than when she first wrote it in the ’60s.
