 | | Clive Davis founded Arista Records in 1975, and the label enjoyed the greatest success in its history during the last six months of 1999, taking in more than $300 million in sales, anchored by Santana's multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated "Supernatural" album. |
 | | Other cornerstone acts recording for Arista or its subsidiaries include Bad Boy artists Sean "Puffy" Combs, Faith Evans, 112, and Mase; La Face Records' TLC, Outkast, Toni Braxton, and Usher; and Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, Kenny G, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, and Lisa Stansfield, among others. |
 | | Davis would subsequently be replaced by Antonio "L.A." Reid as the label's president, although talk of such a switch has tapered off in the new year (see "Arista Artists Support Label Head Clive Davis"). |
