Milli Vanilli
Milli Vanilli ( MIL-ee və-NIL-ee) was a German duo R&B group from Munich. The act was created in 1988 by Frank Farian, founder of Boney M., and consisted of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus as the lip-syncing performers, with actual main studio singers Brad Howell and John Davis and studio singers Charles Shaw, Jodie Rocco, and Linda Rocco, with an unrelated touring band.
Their debut album was All or Nothing in Europe and Girl You Know It's True in the United States. It achieved international success and brought them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on 21 February 1990.
They became one of the most popular acts in the late-1980s and early-1990s, with seven million records sold in the United States alone, and approximately 30 million singles internationally. However, their success turned to infamy when their manager Frank Farian announced in a press conference that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing any of the vocals on their music releases. Their Grammy Award was revoked. In 1998, they recorded the comeback album Back and in Attack, but its release was canceled after Pilatus died the same year.
