I watched a documentary on Clive Davis (famous recording executive) the other 
day. He would advise his clients, like Kenny G, Barry Manilow, etc., on how they 
should arrange and position their songs.

Kenny G (famous clarinet player) said Davis recommended he add a vocal track, as 
that will sell more records. KG asks are you advising, or telling me? Davis says 
he's advising. KG does it his own way, and the record is a hit. KG triumphantly 
tells Davis what do you think of that now? Davis replies if KG had followed his 
advice, he'd have sold even more records.
