No one of them were guilty of anything, they only did the job for they were hired, the producers, record label and the people behind scenes had all the responsibility, they only did their best
Thank you for your contribution to the group. You have a great voice. It’s really cool to see the singers behind the music. Even though fab and rob didn’t sing their own songs they were great entertainers and dancers with the choreography.
It's so horrible what Farian did to not only Morvan and Pilatus, but these original singers. None of them deserved how badly they got screwed by the producer.
Anne Haight not only that, but this Farian also steal the song from the original song writers , when the original writers sue Farian which makes him include their name on the CD
@@viperRX Farian did not "steal the song", he legally covered it which anyone is allowed to do. The names of Bill Pettaway, Jr., Kevin Lyles, Ky Adeyemo, Rodney Hollaman, Sean Spencer were all credited, meaning they all made a ton of money. Pettaway & Adeyemo submitted a song, "Too Late (True Love)", for the 2nd Milli Vanilli album. For "All Or Nothing" it was another story. David Clayton-Thomas sued because the chorus hook line was very similar to his song "Spinning Wheel" (Blood Sweat & Tears) and his name was indeed added to the song credits.
This story of Frank Farian being the bad guy and abuser of all those people is completely wrong. None of these people got screwed by him. The original singers of Milli Vanilli kept doing projects with Frank Farian, even after MV imploded. All of them, including Rob and Fab, became rich through him. I think this bs about Frank Farian is fabricated because people try to put the blame for this disaster on a person. This “fake” singer thing has been done dozens of times before in the music industry, even by Frank Farian. Milli Vanilli was a collaborative effort by all those people, those singers, Rob and Fab, and Frank Farian bringing it all together. None of them would’ve been anywhere without him. I think we tend to symphasize with the people that are publically visible and also tend to forget about all the things we can not immediately see.
Glad he kept the seatbelt on. Safety first! (Lol) What a treat seeing the real singer. He's still got it. What a great spirit. I could watch him sing this all day.
Seeing this set of of videos is really incredible. To see the original, real singers actually singing GYKIT and explaining how it all came together means so much to me as a fan. I've been looking for a performance like this forever, it really brings it all full circle. I learned so much more about the musical side to the Milli Vanilli story, thank you. You sound as good as ever.
omg i can't stop to smile when i listen your voice, I have so many beautiful memories of your voice and me singing in front of my mirror, rip Robert and John we will never forget you
Fab has a voice, and honestly I think that nowadays he performs this song live much better than the original singer in this specific track (talking about live performances of the same song by both artists, not the studio version because the studio version is unbeatable) :) They are both incredibly talented artists!
Oh I so Loved this!!!!! I was 18 when this whole thing went down back in the day, I just remember.. I didn't care! I just LOVED THE VOICE, and Loved the song! And to this day, I do and forever will Love the Music you gave me. TY for sharing this!!!!💯💯💯
this is the real voice, I have been listening to it for 30 years since the Milli Vanilli era and finally today I saw the real face of this voice. The song is 100% yours. I don't go into what was behind the scenes; the fact remains that your song will always remain in the history of music. A hug from Italy
I was 10 years old when Girl You Know It's True was released. You guys still got it after all this time. I think it would be so cool if you guys did a new album. See if Jazzie B from Soul II Soul would work with you. It would be so ultrariffic to see you guys team up and make a new album, since you guys and Soul Ii Soul were the first English language music I listened to back when I lived in Ukraine. To have you team up with Jazzie B would mean everything to me, I don't care what name you guys choose ot go under, it'd still mean so much. Now I call Mobile, Alabama my home and love it, but I still have the CD I got back in Odessa in 1989 when I was 10. After I found out your names I put a little note inside it with all your names so I'd always know who to look for, so here I am. Blesses to you all and lots of love. Olga
So eine wunderschöne Stimme ich liebe die man hätte von Anfang an mit offenen Karten spielen sollen dann hätten alle was von gehabt aber das spiel jetzt keine Rolle mehr die sind für immer alle in unseren Herzen
I was stationed in Erlangen West Germany back in late 80s when the MILLI VANILLI music blew up. It was amazing music and they never needed Rob & Fab. F.F. was the real devil behind this.
Shaw only did the raps/speaking parts on this. That's John Davis you hear rapping on the other hits. and Howell is always the soul (all of Blame it on the Rain)
It was always with the real voices, just not the real faces. I’ve never thought Milli Vanilli were to blame for any of it. As usual it’s the record producers and labels who were the real criminals and they were quick to throw those to guys under the bus and wash their hands of them. It tragically led to one ending his life far too soon, but at least Fab has been able to rebuild his life and seems to be doing well these days from what I’ve seen. From London, UK
OMG, this is the TRUE MILLI VANILLI TEAM GREAT singing, the REAL VOICE in a CAR, yehhhhhhhhh BABY TANK'S much CHARLES SHAW with Linda ROCCO, very GOOD TEAM
@@GarnetTillAlexandros Well Ray Horton didn't get involved with Milli Vanilli until after Rob & Fab were let go once the scandal became public though. He was bought in to replace the eye candy lost when they were outed. Gina Mohammed might have been part of the band before, as I believe she was a backup singer until she became a face of the group though.
Growing up this is the very first digital recording I had ever heard. I remember while in High School all of the controversy surrounding what had happened. What this producer did was tragic for everyone involved. That said I am feeling left with more questions than answers all of these years later. Is it true that there were 3 lead vocalist on these recordings? (Charles Shaw, Brad Howell, John Davis) And 2 backup vocalist (Jodie and Linda Rocco)? Who sang on which songs? Did you or the other original singers ever get compensated beyond what they initially paid you? How does Rob Morvan play and sing as Milli Vanilli today? Why didn't you and the other original singers get together and re-record all of the material so you can get properly compensated for your talents like Taylor Swift recently did for her works? Is Brad Howell really 92 years old now? Is it just me? Listening to all of these songs again today, I am finding it nearly impossible to believe this production is nearly 33 years old. Mind blowing!!!
I was also confused, just like you, then I dug deeper into it and now I know what's up! First of all, John Davis only got brought in after Charles Shaw was fired (for speaking about their roles in the group). So for "Girl you know it's true", only Charles Shaw and Brad Howell were the lead singers while the Rocco sisters were the female background vocalists. No, Brad Howell is not above 90, he should be close to 80 now (born 1942). John Davis was born 1954, Charles Shaw in 1960 and the Rocco sisters (or let's just say twins) in 1959. Not sure with the Rocco families ages! But in a recent interview in 2017, Jodie Rocco said that she is going to turn 58 that year.
@@GarnetTillAlexandros I thought he did, but later learned that wasn't exactly the case. I know Charles Shaw did, but was fired shortly thereafter, when word began to leak out that he was discussing his role in the whole charade though.
I highly doubt it Frank farrian, shafted everyone, in milli vanilli, also did Bobby farrel out of boney M of his royalties, while Frank retired to LA on millions.
No one of them were guilty of anything, they only did the job for they were hired, the producers, record label and the people behind scenes had all the responsibility, they only did their best
good point
I love You guyz! Your music value Is Gold!Thanks!
This Milli Vanilli story will never die.
RIGHT!!!!!!
These original singers have great voices
Yes great voice but they are missing the looks, energy, dance etc of Milli Vanilli
Only Fab. Not Rob ruclips.net/video/jOT2otX4oYI/видео.htmlsi=v7RtnQYzXmUhjk2L
@@ZayneIdris-qx7txyou’re absolutely right. I can only listen to the songs while watching Rob and Fab.
Thank you for your contribution to the group. You have a great voice. It’s really cool to see the singers behind the music. Even though fab and rob didn’t sing their own songs they were great entertainers and dancers with the choreography.
They sound beautiful. I hope that they all can tour with Fab since Fab is still performing. 💞🙏🏻
I get goosebumps every time I hear the hits man! 🙆🏽
You have such a great personality. I really enjoyed seeing you all together. Thanks for sharing this.

Nobody forced them. They knew what they were getting in to.
@@ZR1Terror Yeah . This is a reality. In my opinion specially the older guys ( real Milli Vanilli) .

You have a great voice brother!
Finally got to know the real singers of the song. My life is now complete. Thank you.
Incredible!
The real voice it is in another level. What voice is possible to hear!
C'mon Charles, Linda, Jodie please.... sing again and again.... we love your voice guys
Charles Shaw seems like such a fun person to be with, and an unbelievable great singer.
The best of you guys..this music never gonna die..charles shaw..you are the best ever

I love this song!!!
Very talented
The Best!
That was AWESOME.
The REAL Milli Vanilli!
Great voice..repeat this video 20-30 times still liking it
You can tell 100% that this guy is the real voice behind "Fab".
What about John?
@@toosweet6046 John was Fab's voice in any other song that came out after GYKIT. Charles Shaw only recorded this song here before he was fired.

I’m 42. My son is 12. I walked him through this last night. It was hilarious
You have such a beautiful voice, new subscriber 🥰
Rob and Fab didn't deserve all the grief they received. Deception is common in the music business. RIP Rob.

You will always have left your mark on the music industry with this jam. #CharlesYouKnowItsTrue

The 'live' version is really cool.
Lindo!!! Maravilhosos!!
You both still have the power of 1988 😎👌🏻💯
Finally get to see the real ones
Acabo de ver el documental y la verdad es muy emotivo, Fab muy sincero , chicos con ganas de triunfar, lo lograron pero les costo caro.
Nice!!
Very nice!!

Its still a big hit because of ROB and FAB. No need to argue.
No Dubsmash indeed. Its really them....
I thought it was John Davis and Brad Howell that did the lead voices of Fab and Rob? Charles was another studio.
This is real, Girl you know it's true
A poco si Charles Shaw es el verdadero cantante que bueno todavía canta muy bien Dios lo bendiga!!!
Now I understand Mr.Fabian's decision
You and Fab should sing this together! ^^ It's so sad what Farian did to you guys... :(
