Video Description:
Milli Vanilli was a pop and dance music project formed by Frank Farian in Germany in 1988, fronted by Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. The group's debut album achieved high sales internationally which earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1990. The act sold over 30 million singles, 14 million albums and became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 80s and early 90s. However, their success turned to infamy when their Grammy was revoked after it was revealed that the actual vocals on the record were not the voices of Morvan and Pilatus.
Farian chose to feature vocals by Charles Shaw, John Davis, Brad Howell, and twin sisters Jodie and Linda Rocco; however, he felt that those singers lacked a marketable image. Thus, Farian recruited Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, two younger and more photogenic model/dancers he found in a Berlin dance club, to front the act. The name "Milli Vanilli" was taken from a local advertising slogan in Turkey[citation needed].
Milli Vanilli's debut album All Or Nothing, was released in Europe in mid 1988, with Rob and Fab at the helm and nary to mention of the actual singers. The success of the record caught the attention of Arista Records, who signed the duo, remixed some of the tracks, added others, renamed it Girl You Know It's True for the release of the American market in early 1989. The U.S. version of the album lead things off with the single the title track which peaked at number 2 on the Hot 100 in April of that year and was certified platinum (the song was a cover version of a Numarx track published in 1987 on the US Bluebird label). Even greater commercial success followed, as the pair's next three singles "Baby Don't Forget My Number", "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" and "Blame It On The Rain" all hit number 1. A fifth and final single "All or Nothing", also made the Top 5 in the beginning of 1990. Milli Vanilli's meteoric rise to pop music superstardom culminated with 3 American Music Awards in 1990.

The thing that pisses me off is everyone says these guy were lip sync assholes. However they were a lot better than C+C Music Factory , and Peebles who also lip sync all of the songs as well. It is just these guys got caught first.

The fact is, this ... ( 3 days ago by mikecam17)

The fact is, this music is great to the point that it will stand the test of time. Our great-grandchildren will look back and see this time period as a pivotal point in musical history. It's just too bad that the scandal had to tarnish the music's legacy. On the other hand, if not for the scandal, this music might never have been exposed to the world outside of Germany.

Rob died 10 years later of a drug overdose as he just couldn't cope with what happened. They tried to break away from the contract, but it was up to the producer. Fab is very committed to his music till this day as you can find blame it on the rain w/ him realy singing. Actually good! Fab is doing good as he is doing somthing w/ music. No other jobs.

Yeah, but besides lip syncing, they weren't the actual singers, but they were both hot, sexy and gave one hell of a performance. They just needed the perfect voices and they didn't quite have the voice the producers feel that wouldn't have made big to public.But hey, who knows they could've made it big on their own. Fab can actually sing!
