Frank Farian Coryphaeus of Hit Music is dead at the age of 82
German producer, Frank Farian, known for his work with famous duo Milli Vanilli, a lip-syncing sensation, died peacefully at his home in Miami. As reported by Philip Kallrath, a spokesperson for Mr. Farian’s family.
Farian’s Early Life and Career Beginnings
Frank Farian, born Franz Reuther on July 18, 1941, was a German pop music producer and performer known for his ability to conque the charts. His interest in music can be traced back to his American rock ‘n’ roll records. He made his big breakthrough by reaching the number one spot on the West German charts in 1976 with his song, “Rocky.”
Milli Vanilli: The Rise and Fall
Milli Vanilli, created by Frank Farian, was an overnight sensation, but the duo, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, didn’t actually sing the music that made them famous. They were largely known for their visual appeal and stage presence. This came to light when they won a Grammy Award for best new artist in 1990, leading to the revelation that they were lip-syncing to vocals by other artists.
The Grammy Revelation and Aftermath
Farian later admitted to the public that it was all a part of a concept. “It was two people in the studio, and two people on stage. Such projects are an art form in themselves, and the fans were happy with the music,” said Farian in an interview. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences rescinded their Grammy award, and, as a result, the duo’s careers began to unravel.
Legacy and Final Days
Milli Vanilli was a historical ruse in the music industry and despite their controversial success, Farian, deemed as one of Germany’s top record producers, remained unrepentant. Frank’s survivors have not yet been disclosed to the public. After the concert in Bristol, Conn., life took a downward turn for the duo, and their career ended when one of them, Rob Pilatus, was found dead due to a heart attack at 32 in 1998.
Many see the duo’s story as a cautionary tale about the fickle nature of the music industry, but Todd Headlee, a member of the duo’s management team, suggests an alternate viewpoint: “I mean, they shouldn’t have won the Grammy, they should have won the Oscar.”
