I'm very much a fan of Korla Pandit! I even just like saying his name.... "Korla Pandit..." Superb organist and not as well known today as he should be.

As far as his African American heritage, that's been confirmed, not by Wikipedia, but by biographer David DeClue, on Pandit's own website - http://www.korlapandit.com/historyparttwo.htm

Like many African Americans, he was racially mixed.

To me, his whole story is fascinating.
