El Lobo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I knew who Korla Pandit was and I'd seen clips, but I never saw this vid before. Thanks.

drawback Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I recall this guy from when I was a kid, maybe 4 or 5. I was just beginning to play piano around then so the memories are fairly vivid. Back in those days there weren't a lot of fillers produced for television so there would be these black & white music videos such as Korla Pandit. I think that's where I first saw Nat King Cole. Thanks for posting, Dave!! Anyone else see a Prince thing going on? ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbnm098 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Some of these clips are essentially trailers for a full documentary done by John and Christiansen . It can be purchased here: http://www.korlathemovie.com. I saw a screening of it a year or two ago in Hollywood, but judging from the website there hasn't been much activity on the movie since then. I haven't noticed it on Netflix if it was ever there. If you can track it down, it's a really interesting extended story. The guy was a monster on the Hammond, and they go into details how he-but mostly his wife- came up with the character. The sad part of the story is that apparently his children didn't know the true story until an article came out in the LA Weekly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbysterling Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 In the Johnny Depp movie, Ed Wood,there's a brief scene of an actor portraying Korla Pandit. �Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes.

ashevillecabbie Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Bet he would have been great on a Novachord or a Clavioline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be making a point to catch the Korla Pandit documentary. https://www.theboywhowantedtorock.com http://www.weisersound.com https://www.facebook.com/weisersound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashevillecabbie Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 If Hammond had given or even loaned Korla a Novachord, I bet they would have sold a shit ton more of them than they did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
