Milli Vanilli ( MIL-ee vÉ™-NIL-ee) was a German duo R&B music act 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 the two 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, as All or Nothing in Europe, and expanded, including "Baby Don't Forget My Number" and "Blame It on the Rain", composed by Diane Warren, as Girl You Know It's True in the United States, achieved international success and brought them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on 21 February 1990.
They became one of the most popular pop acts in the late-1980s and early-1990s, with 7 million records sold in the United States alone; internationally, Milli Vanilli sold approximately 30 million singles. 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 Their Grammy Award was revoked.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 a comeback album, Back and in Attack, but its release was canceled after Pilatus died the same year.
