The fallen pop duo of Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan are having their story told in a new documentary titled Milli Vanillli, which premieres on Paramount+ starting Tuesday (Oct. 24). The new film will aim to provide an in-depth look at the rise and fall of the late ’80s and early ’90s singers through resurfaced interviews with Pilatus (he died in 1998) and Morvan, as well as record executives, the real singers on the album and more.
Before their fall from grace, the two models-turned-singers gained widespread popularity and fame for their first album, which was released in 1989. The success resulted in the set going platinum six times in the U.S., with the hit song “Girl You Know It’s True” selling over 30 million copies worldwide, according to a press release. They even won a Grammy for best new artist, solidifying the duo’s label as one of the world’s most popular artists in 1990. That is, until a live performance revealed that Pilatus and Morvan were lip-synching, with revelations that the two weren’t the singers on the album coming out later on. The duo’s Grammy was also later revoked.
Through clips and interviews throughout the documentary, viewers can expect a new perspective.
