Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl said Davis would have been thrilled by the turnout. “Clive would have loved this,” she said.

The memorial service was closed to the public but was livestreamed from Central Synagogue in Manhattan.

Davis launched the careers of numerous stars, including Whitney Houston, Springsteen, Alicia Keys and Kenny G, and influenced others such as Carlos Santana, Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead.

Davis died June 22 in his Manhattan apartment at the age of 94, a few weeks after he had been hospitalized for an upper respiratory issue.
