JOHN DAVIS, REAL MILLI VANILLI SINGER, DIES OF COVID-19

John Davis, one of the real voices behind the infamous music group Milli Vanilli, has died of coronavirus. He was 66. With Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan, the German-French duo Milli Vanilli was created by Frank Farian. Their debut album, All Or Nothing, was released in Europe in 1988 and was repackaged as Girl You Know It’s True in 1989 in the U.S. The dance-pop synth album was a smash hit, selling 11 million copies. The album won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1990.

The Milli Vanilli dream soon soured when it emerged that Pilatus and Morvan didn’t actually sing the songs on the album, and the real singers were, in fact, Davis and others, who were credited as backing singers. The ensuing scandal led to Milli Vanilli having to return the Grammy.
