Record executive and head of Arista Records died at his home in Manhattan this morning at age 94. 

Davis had great success with Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin and revitalized the career of Santana it said. 

But his time with the Allman Brothers Band didn't work and clashed then resulted in the ABB being locked out of the recording studio. 

Davis wasn't happy with how the band sounded and dressed and was convinced they would sell more albums by following his ideas. The band refused after trying some of it on the Arista album Brothers Of The Road. with overdubs, lots of background singers, a sax solo and songs written to attract Top 40 single airplay. 

Here is one I liked when I bought my copy of the album which unfortunately wasn't a good seller.
