For decades, the world's most famous artists, athletes and politicians have sought advice from one person at the most critical moments of their lives and careers, including Grammy Award ®winners, Hall of Fame members, world heavyweight boxing champions and two U.S. Presidents. This man is Clarence Evant. The Godfather of Black Music tells the story of Evant's extraordinary and legendary rise to fame. Through his groundbreaking behind-the-scenes achievements, the music executive has created many outstanding figures, such as Bill Withers, Quincy Jones, Mohamed Ali, Hank Allen, and Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Deep-rooted racism has penetrated into every corner of the United States, and driven by equality, loyalty and a sense of justice, Evant got rid of the racial discrimination system in the South and became an excellent negotiator. Evant broke the concept of black executives and redefined the entertainment industry for artists and executives of color, and his spirit of altruism inspired future generations to follow suit. Directed by Oscar-nominated ®nominee Regina Hadlin, the Godfather of Black Music interviewed Snoop Dog, Diddy, Lionel Ritchie and Suzanne Depa.
