Clive Davis — the music mogul who molded the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson and many others — has been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy … TMZ has confirmed.

According to his rep … Clive is currently being treated with antibiotics and steroids but he is expected to make a full recovery within the next 6 weeks. Bell’s palsy, which is muscle weakness that causes part of the face to droop, has so far not affected Clive’s speech.

Clive, who is famous for his Grammy parties, had originally planned a pre-Grammy gala party over Zoom slated for next month … but those plans will now move to later this spring, according to ShowBiz 411, which first reported the news about Clive’s diagnosis.

For the young kids out there … Clive Davis is a HUGE deal in the biz. On top of discovering Whitney, he also founded Bad Boy Records with Sean Combs.
