Jacqueline’s tragic death came after former Motown Records chairman Avant, 90 - who is known as the “godfather of black music” - was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October.
Avant is the subject of the original documentary, The Black Godfather.
With a name inspired by Avant's nickname, the documentary looks at his life from being connected to Louis Armstrong’s longtime manager Joe Glaser to his ties to Al Capone, who helped Avant launch his career.
"Anything that had to do with the rights of people, that tells you everything you needed to know about him," the documentary says of Avant.
"He's just fearless, man. Absolutely fearless."

“He was at the property for about 40 minutes. He was all business and didn’t really talk much to the five security guys who were there.
