Frank Farian, Founder of Milli Vanilli and Boney M, Dead at 82
On Tuesday, the agnecy of Frank Farian revealed that the producer and songwriter behind Milli Vanilli had died at his home in Miami. He was 82.
The group earned massive hits with “Blame It on the Rain,” “Girl You Know It’s True,” and “I’m Gonna Miss You,” but was embroiled in controversy after it was discovered that Morvan and Pilatus had lip-synced their songs with session singers.
