The Moment of Truth (The Real Milli Vanilli album)

The original Milli Vanilli was a pop duo from Munich, Germany, that comprised Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. It was founded in 1988 by the producer Frank Farian. Farian hired the studio vocalists Brad Howell, John Davis, Charles Shaw, Jodie Rocco and Linda Rocco to sing on the records, and had Morvan and Pilatus dance and lip-sync for performances. In November 1990, Farian confirmed that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing on their records, leading to a backlash. Farian defended Milli Vanilli as an art project combining musical and visual elements. Their second album and 1991 tour were canceled. Farian repurposed songs planned for Milli Vanilli's second album as The Moment of Truth, released in 1991 under the name the Real Milli Vanilli, with Davis and Howell as the singers. It was never released in America. ==Track listing==
