The Scandal That Rocked The Music Industry

The Milli Vanilli scandal rocked the music industry and gave birth to countless comedy skits in their honor for years to come. For the longest time, we never knew who was really singing the hits – until now. And let’s just say it’s a gumbo mix of people that don’t seem to have anything in common with Milli Vanilli, except the songs they sang incognito for them. You’ll definitely be surprised to see the people with the voices behind those hit records.

Who Actually Sang On The Milli Vanilli Records?!?

Shortly after the scandal was made public, it was revealed that the real Milli Vanilli actually consisted of two male vocalists – Charles Shaw and Brad Howell – and two female backup singers – Jodie and Linda Rocco.

The 2nd male vocalist, Brad Howell, on the other hand, felt he’d surpassed the marketable age range for up and coming singers, but also wanted to make great music. So, they had no problem working behind the scenes.
