"Sure," said Greene, adding that no one has ever been stripped of a Grammy in its 33 years. Frank Farian, the German producer who turned a pair of anonymous pretty boys into an international phenomenon, revealed that hunky dudes Fab and Rob were actually the fabulous bunko boys in an interview this week. "The record company never knew that I never told them anything," said Farian. "Later on, after the record was out, there were some people who raised some questions." In a statement issued Thursday, performers Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan said: "We have insisted since 1989 that we be allowed to sing on all MUli Vanilli records. We have been ready, willing and able to record our own vocals and have been prevented by Frank Farian from doing so." And in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Pilatus called Farian a "control freak" who "would not allow us to enter the studio." "He’s a white German guy who has a big complex about black artists," said Pilatus, a black native of Germany. "The last two years of our lives have been a total nightmare. We’ve had to lie to everybody," he said. "We are true singers, but that maniac, Frank Farian, would never allow us to express ourselves." "We were afraid for two years that this day would come," Pilatus said. "We’ve cried about it sometimes ... But deep inside, we wanted it to happen." Pilatus said he and Morvan planed to sing on their next album. The VanilMs won a 1989 Grammy for Best New Artist Rob and Fab became international stars, lip-syncing their way through television and concert appearances. "Girl You Know It’s True" and "Blame It On the Rain" were both huge hit singles for the band. At the MTV awards, the boys boasted they were better than Elvis or Bob Dylan. Farian - who has a new album with a new group coming out in January - said Wednesday he was forced to go public with the revelations when the boys told him they wanted to sing on the follow up to "Girl You Know It’s True." "I said, ‘No. I don’t go for thaL’ Sure, they have a voice, but that’s not really what I want to use on my records," said Farian, describing the encounter which occurred earlier this month. So the bare-chested vocalists once described by The New York Times as "exoticaUy sexy" really did nothing but look good and lip sync for videos? "Nothing more," said Farian, speaking through an interpreter. A telephone message left Thursday to the group’s manager in Germany was not immediately ■•“tumed- fhe revelation didn’t bother Arista, the label which happily raked in the cash when "Girl You Know It’s Trae" topped the charts. "Seven million albums? Embarrassing?" asked Roy Lott, vice president for operations at Arista. "I don’t mean the end justifies the means. But we sold 7 million albums" Lott said there was no reason to doubt Parian’s veracity; "I certainly assume the producer would know who sang on the record." According to Farian, the idea to hire Rob and Fab as front men for the band came when the pair arrived at his in Germany shortly afte recording of "Girl You Kuo True." "It suddenly clicked mind, and it was kind of evi had the music, there wei people who wanted to ix outside," said Farian, "And "Hey, let’s put that togeth make a great record out o Farian would not say who tl singers were but added tha will appear on his next albun a Milli Vanilli album. Lott said the label is unconi about the dupe, and it ph distribute Parian’s new albuit has heard some of the i already, and he said "Frank h full support." As to Rob am well, their future’s a bit uncertain. ”We are purely their distti We do not have a specific dea Rob or Fab," Lott said. The Los Angeles Times sources-' have suggested it Dallas native, Charles Shaw one of the singers on the Vanilli albums. In a tele| interview from Germany, told the Times, "once you he: sing and then you have the Vanilli record in your hand, e I told you it wasn’t me singiiij wouldn’t believe me." "Do 11 that Milli Vanilli made so money and all I got was studic In the beginning I was very, upset Shaw said. "But I to the side, and at the pr moment I plan to succeed oi own." Publishing For Profit (Continued From Page 13) He is critical of the typica ity-of-Iife magazine. These i magazines published or cni by local Chambers of Conn usually on a profit-sharing with the entrepreneur-publist “Most of the hundreds of c of life magazines I have exam Dr. Williams writes, “have '-olorful, slick, and expensive is advertising was conceme dry as dust editorially and poorly designed. The artic them, ostensibly written to pri dynamic, desirable image ( Chamber’s trade area, usual! like the back of a cereal box.’ But there is money in qua life publications. Dr. William mates in his book that the pi publisher of one such public in an eastern North Carolina expended $15,000 to prin magazine and sell the advert paid the local Chamber $5,001 sold $45,000 worth of magt and advertising, for a profit much as $25,000 for two mon work. And there is also money Williams tells his readers, in ism guides, newcomer’s gi city magazines, membership ( lories, city or county hist weekly newspapers and shop guides, and mail order publi^al And, of course, when the i top publisher is ready to retire return to college teaching, Williams notes, “it is comforti know that ... the publication you have put so much of yoi into — heart, soul, and pocket — has a real value that you can in for cash.”
