And for those of you that aren't old enough to know what Milli Vanilli did, they were the first pioneers to do what 90% of all artists do nowadays. They didn't sing on their own records... It's sad, really sad...
...mr. frank farian did the same trick years ago, in the '70s, with one
of his other projects... BONEY M. ... !
The background to the story was that they [Milli Vanilli, not Boney M] were offered to front the band by the producers when they were absolutely without jobs as "professional" dancers. They took the chance... and the risk. There was this one hour presentation on MTV where all their second thoughts and regret were aired and the rapid descent from stardom to rock bottom... A very sad story, really.
The Real Milli Vanilli... THEY had... ehm... another moment of fame...
On a sidenote: the still living half of the Milli Vanilli front guys currently has his second 15 seconds of fame in the german version of "I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!"
It's sad, really sad...
