Record producer Clive Davis, 80, is making an intimate personal revelation that he is bisexual.
Davis claims in a new memoir "The Sound Track of My Life" that he was married and divorced twice, but he has spent the past 20 years in affais with two men (a doctor for 13 years, and an unnamed partner for the past seven).
"For over 50 years I never had sex with a male. I wasn't repressed. I had very good sexual relationships with women," Davis revealed to ABC's Nightline.
The Nightline interviewer, Cynthia McFadden, pushed Davis on the issue of bisexuality, asking him about the old adage that people are "either gay, straight or lying."
"I'm not lying," Davis was quoted as saying. "(Bisexuality) exists."
McFadden then asked if Davis felt ashamed after first sleeping with a man. "I never felt shame, no," Davis responded. "I felt puzzled. The subject of bisexuality really needs much more discussion. It's a status that does exist."
Davis stated his current partner attends industry events and travels with him, as any partner would, but he declined to reveal his identity in order to protect his privacy.
It has to be mentioned that Davis is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and ran companies including Columbia Records, Arista Records, J Records and RCA Music Group. He is credited with launching or boosting the careers of Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson, among many others.
