Stars attend Clive Davis' funeral: Bruce Springsteen, Hoda Kotb, Barry Manilow, more pay tribute

The "Born in the USA" hitmaker delivered a eulogy to Clive (the memorial service was streamed online for millions of fans to watch live). He shared: "Clive was big and bombastic and brave and full of ideas, and just believed, believed, believed, believed. He dressed like a king. He was born to run… everything!"

The "No One" singer became particularly emotional while delivering her eulogy to the man who has largely been seen as responsible for her rise to fame. "You didn't just sign an artist, you recognized the soul," she noted through tears.

"You saw not just the music I'd already made, but the music that was still sweeping inside of me, waiting for someone with the wisdom and the courage to call it forward. You called it forward. You called me forward."

Also seen as one of his greatest signees, Barry noted in his own eulogy: "Clive has always been there for me. He believed in me from the very beginning. When you have someone believe in you so deeply, you feel that you can do anything. I will always be grateful to him for that."

The first to speak at the memorial, Dionne said in her emotional tribute: "There was not anything that he ever did that I didn't get the first phone call: You will be there right? … He was always asking, 'Where's my Dionne?' Well, I'm here today, Clive. Will always be here for you."

The two-time Oscar winner was joined by his longtime partner Georgina Chapman for the funeral. The pair were close friends due to running in the same New York circles, and Adrien was a fixture at many of Clive's lavish parties.

The former TODAY anchor drove into the city for the music mogul's funeral as well. While she didn't have a notably public relationship with the Davis family, she did once admit on air to memorably crashing his 2014 pre-Grammy Gala.

The CBS host was a fixture at many of his industry gatherings and also interviewed him several times for CBS Mornings.

Clive was an ardent champion of the "Mama Said Knock You Out" rapper's career in the '90s, despite him not being on any of the executive's labels at the time. The pair maintained a close friendship and professional relationship.

The renowned saxophonist, who was signed by Clive as well, began the funeral proceedings with a rendition of "Songbird."

Clive worked frequently with the American Idol contestant when she came off the show, winning his latest Grammy as a co-producer on her self-titled studio album. Jennifer followed "Songbird" with a powerful performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
