Fab Morvan
Fabrice Maxime Sylvain Morvan (born 14 May 1966) is a French singer, dancer, rapper, and model who was half of the pop duo Milli Vanilli, along with Rob Pilatus. It was later revealed that the two had not actually sung on any of their recordings. After the scandal, the group reformed as Rob & Fab in the 1990s, with limited success. Morvan had a solo comeback in the 2000s, releasing the album Love Revolution in 2003.
As of 2023, Morvan resides in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Morvan was born in 1966 in Paris, France, to parents from Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. At 18, he moved to Germany, where he worked as a dancer and model and was influenced by funk, soul, hip hop, and pop music. He met Rob Pilatus in a nightclub in Munich, and they decided to form a rock/soul group.
Morvan and Pilatus were noticed by music producer Frank Farian, who signed them as part of a musical act called Milli Vanilli. The duo served as the public faces for singers Charles Shaw, John Davis, and Brad Howell, whom Farian thought were talented musicians but lacked a marketable image.
The first Milli Vanilli album, titled Girl You Know It's True, was released in 1989 and proved popular worldwide. It had four hit singles: the title track, "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You", "Baby Don't Forget My Number", and "Blame It on the Rain". The group won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on 22 February 1990 for Girl You Know It's True.
Morvan and Pilatus were frequent targets of rumors and allegations of onstage lip-synching and not having sung on the album. The same year the group released their debut album, Shaw told a reporter the truth but recanted after Farian paid him $155,000 to do so.
When Morvan and Pilatus pressured Farian to let them sing on the next album, Farian then revealed the truth about their lip-synching to reporters on 15 November 1990. As a result, Milli Vanilli's Grammy was withdrawn four days later, while Arista Records dropped the act from its roster and deleted their album and its masters from their catalogue, thus making Girl You Know It's True the largest-selling album to ever be deleted. A court ruling allowed any American who bought the album to get a partial refund.[citation needed]
Farian later attempted a failed comeback for the group without Morvan and Pilatus, releasing the album The Moment of Truth in February 1991, with new cover art featuring the actual session musicians.
