Milli Vanilli Mixtape Download [EXCLUSIVE]

They became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with millions of records sold. However, their success turned to infamy when it was discovered that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing any of the vocals on their music releases. Their Grammy award was revoked.[11][12][13] In 1998, they recorded a comeback album, Back and in Attack, but its release was cancelled after Pilatus died at the age of 32.[14]

Despite their steady focus on fame, they struggled with poverty. "We lived in a project. We had no money. We wanted to be stars", explained Pilatus.[18] Music producer Frank Farian learned of the duo and invited them to his Frankfurt studio to listen to a demo. "We got a call to come to his studio and we said, 'All right that's it'", Pilatus recalled. "We were just dumb little kids, so we said, 'Let's go'. When we got to the studio, "Girl You Know It's True" was just a demo and he asked us our opinion of it and if we could sing it and we said, 'Yeah, we could sing it'. And he said, 'Oh beautiful, I believe it, but next week we have shows to do, so don't worry, I'll make you into a millionaire'."[17]

All or Nothing was expanded and repackaged as Girl You Know It's True for audiences in the United States and released in March 1989. It was a major success, producing five singles, including the title track of the American version, that all entered the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. Three of these five singles, "Baby Don't Forget My Number", "Blame It on the Rain", and "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You", went to number one.[23] In January 1990, the album Girl You Know It's True was certified 6 platinum by the RIAA after spending seven weeks atop the Billboard Top 200.[24] It spent 41 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and 78 weeks on the charts overall. It was also certified Diamond in Canada, denoting sales of over a million units there.

"Farian, the studio whiz who conceived and created the group's 7-million-selling album and owner of the Milli Vanilli name, fired Pilatus and Morvan at a press conference in Munich on Wednesday in which he also announced that the pair didn't sing on the record."[39]

After these details emerged, lawsuits[41] were filed under various U.S. consumer fraud protection laws[42] against Arista Records, Pilatus and Morvan. One such filing occurred on 22 November 1990, in Ohio, where lawyers filed a class-action lawsuit asking for refunds on behalf of a local woman in Cuyahoga County who had bought Girl You Know It's True. When the suit was filed, it was estimated at least 1,000 Ohio residents had bought the album.[42] On 12 August 1991, a proposed settlement of a refund lawsuit in Chicago, Illinois, was rejected. This settlement would have refunded buyers of Milli Vanilli CDs, cassettes, records and singles. However, the refunds would only be given as credits for future Arista releases.[41] On 28 August, a new settlement was approved; it refunded those who attended concerts as well as those who bought Milli Vanilli recordings.[43] An estimated 10 million buyers were eligible to claim a refund, and they could keep the refunded recordings.[43] The refund deadline passed on 8 March 1992.[44]

25 years ago, an album was released that over 6 million people bought in the U.S. alone. Even more in Canada! It would stand to reason that some of those people *liked* the songs on that album. At least a few.

That didn't stop the record from becoming a global sensation, allegedly grossing more than $50 million and earning the duo a Grammy Award for best new artist in February 1990, even as the lip-sync allegations continued.

Arista's vice president of operations scoffed at the L.A. Times' notion that the label should be embarrassed by the situation, stating, "Seven million albums? Embarrassing? I don't mean the end justifies the means. But we sold 7 million albums."

"We were so naive," Pilatus told the L.A. Times in August, 1991. "We figured because we had sold so many albums as Milli Vanilli that all the record companies would be dying to sign us. After the scandal broke, we were sure that all these million-dollar offers would come pouring in. So we just went about our lives and waited."

In a statement following Pilatus's death, Morvan said, "Milli Vanilli was not a disgrace. The only disgrace is how Rob died, all alone ... Where were the ones that pushed us to the top, who made the millions?"

RIAA Platinum album award for Milli Vanilli album Girl You Know It's True. The album was released on March 2, 1989 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA on June 8, 1989 for one million copies sold.

A famously controversial album (see details below), it featured the hits "Girl You Know It's True", "Blame It On The Rain", and "Baby Don't Forget My Number". The album reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Album chart, #1 in Canada and gained airplay around the world. By 1990 the album was certified 6x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA for six million copies sold. See image above for the RIAA sales certifications of the album*.

Milli Vanilli became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with millions of records sold. However, their success turned to infamy when Morvan, Pilatus, and their agent Sergio Vendero confessed that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing any of the vocals heard on their music releases. The duo ended up giving back the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The group recorded a comeback album in 1998 titled Back and in Attack, but the album's release was cancelled after Rob Pilatus died at the age of 32.

After these details emerged, different lawsuits were filed under various U.S. consumer fraud protection laws against Arista Records, Pilatus and Morvan.

Later in the 1960s came the Monkees, a Beatles style pop band created for a TV show that went on to sell over 70million records. Each of the members had musical skills, they played instruments and could sing but despite being presented as a band that played their own instruments they only recorded the vocals on early recordings. Even more bizarrely they mimed playing different instruments to the ones they actually knew how to play best.

This week's revelations about the album, which has sold 7 million copies, were greeted with amusement by many, especially comedians. It's been a big topic for Arsenio Hall and for Jay Leno on ``The Tonight Show.'' Those who always considered Milli Vanilli laughable are enjoying big yucks over the current controversy. e24fc04721
