Which is a wrong answer, but also constitutes another trivia question ... who were The Clarences ... and my hint is: SNL 
Wild Cherry of course 
And 'White Boy' is not in the title 
My bad - I shouldn't have included red herrings in the title. The temporary name had nothing to do with her opinion of them (probably). She actually tried to sue them before this show when they first appeared on Danish TV and wanted that broadcast stopped too. Before the Copenhagen show the band actually met with her to show her that they meant no insult to her family name and they were just a nice bunch of kids playing rock music. They soothed her troubled soul and she was all on board for the show until, on her way out, she saw the cover art of their first album:
and she was mortified anew.
So they changed their name for that show.
I just didn't have any other guess
And agree on all counts.

Her initials are EF ...

Which R&R HOF-inducted impresario produced records by Mamas & Papas, Cheech and Chong and Carole King (and I ain't talking about obscure records by these acts, to be clear ), founded Dunhill and Ode Records, and executive produced The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and indeed even put the word Picture into the title)?
