Milli Vanilli Busted For Lip-Synching [Milli Vanilli Busted For Lip-Synching] 1989 Performing on the Club MTV tour at a stop in Bristol, Connecticut, Milli Vanilli's tracks go screwy when they try to lip-synch to the song "Girl You Know It's True." As the line "girl you know it's..." repeats over and over, the duo panic and scurry off stage. It is later revealed that they didn't sing on their album. The creation of German producer Frank Farian, Milli Vanilli is the duo of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, augmented by a fleet of backup singers and rappers. Just how augmented isn't discovered until after the group is busted as frauds - turns out they didn't sing at all on their recordings. The Bristol incident is not a big deal at the time, since it's generally assumed that acts on the tour - which also include Paula Abdul, Tone-Loc, Information Society, Was (Not Was) and Lisa Lisa - are using backing tracks, a common practice among pop acts and pretty much a requirement for club shows. Earlier in the month, their single "Baby Don't Forget My Number" went to #1 on the Hot 100, and in September, "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" hits the top spot, followed by "Blame It On The Rain" in November. They keep the charade going into 1990, charting another hit, "All Or Nothing," which makes #4 in February. When the group wins the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, there is increased scrutiny on the group, and cracks appear in their facade. With the media closing in on the story, Farian reveals in November 1990 that Rob and Fab are just for show - studio vocalists did all the singing on their album.
