Music mogul Clive Davis assembled 100 A-list friends to screen scenes featuring Whitney Houston from his upcoming doc, "The Soundtrack of Our Lives."
The "visibly moved group" watching at the Terrace Room of the Sunset Tower Hotel included Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Russell Simmons, Tyler Perry, Brett Ratner, Penny Marshall, Barry Manilow, Kenny G, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Diane Warren.
A source said the clips included early footage of Houston on "The Merv Griffin Show" in 1983, just two weeks after she was signed by Davis.
The film traces her career and relationship with Davis till her death in 2012, we hear.
Davis also played a part in the careers of stars from Bruce Springsteen to Sean Combs.
The film's being produced by Scott Free Productions.
"I was incredibly touched [and] gratified that the real Whitney Houston was finally being captured, as well as the magnitude of her talent and her career," Davis said of the screening, where further guests giving a standing ovation included venerable music executives Mo Ostin and Joe Smith.
