Jacqueline Avant helped unite the worlds of Black entertainment, sports and politics. One friend called her “the queen of the people.”

She and her husband were friends with those presidents and trusted enough by President Carter that he would direct African heads of state to visit the Avants when they traveled to Los Angeles. She told The Times in 1980: “I used to be lazy. I relied on my looks to get me everything. Now life has more meaning.”
Avant’s label closed in 1975 but in 1979 he opened Tabu Records and across the 1980s and ‘90s scored platinum success with R&B acts including the S.O.S. Band, Alexander O’Neal and Babyface. “You had this intersection of music, entertainment and politics,” said Maddox, who worked for Bradley and Waters, among others. “That, to me, was the golden era of Black politics in Los Angeles. And Clarence and the Avants were the glue.”The shooting death of Jacqueline Avant at home brought grief, shock and remembrances from the worlds of politics, entertainment and L.A. philanthropy.
