I had never heard of him until I saw the movie. Great character. Biography of a man that brought me to tears.
So the guy is famous, yet unknown to the general public. That's a good base. And everything goes downhill from there. Because someone calls him "the godfather". Why make it racial? If it's racial it means that he killed as many people as Don Corleone? No. Just someone generating click bait.
Than the famous singers are cut short. The less famous singers have a hard time putting a sentence. That's okay, they are skilled at putting out musical notes, not words. But what's the point to have them there if they can't speak? A picture and a mention would suffice.
And that is the key of this documentary. Amateurs wanted to get to movers and shakers and used this documentary as the vehicle. And that's fine. A crap documentary as an excuse for doing some networking. But what's the thing with the politicians? One frame with a collage and itemized mentions would have sufficed.

Though I enjoyed all the references and the chronological narration, I feel a bit torned about the veracity of all the praising and the Samaritan portrayal of Clarence Avant. For instance, the example of Sixto Rodriguez... where all the money went ? ... Evolving myself in the music business I can tell you one thing for certain, you don't get anything for free.
"The Black Godfather" is off the wall. An incredible and informative film that will surprise you and make you wish you could have a friend like Clarence Avant.
In this documentary, follow the life of Clarence Avant; the ultimate mentor behind-the-scenes of the music, film, and TV industries and politics.
Uncensored and uninterrupted, "The Black Godfather" digs deep into the life of a man not many people know of. This film talks about the struggles he faced and the successes that came after deliberately never giving up. Avant is admired by all the people you look up to. He's the rock and mentor to many of those people. Overall, a fascinating doc that everyone should see.

As far as documentaries go, this is simply a gem. Inspiring, entertaining, funny, thoughtful and very well made. It shines light on a real positive side of Hollywood and the music business that is rarely talked about... people connecting people, not for financial gain, but for art.
This film has some excellent interviews with some of the most influential figures of the 20th and 21st century. I doubt that Reggie (the director) considers him a national treasure... but he is.
I recommend this documentary to everyone on earth.
