Yesterday I saw the new cinema-production about the Milli-Vanilli-Project under Frank Farian from the german director Simon Verhoeven. The movie was published under the title "Girl You Know It's True" and illustrates the fine difference between artistic originality and illusion in the music business. The background story about this song, which had advanced to a number-one-world-hit in the cover-version from Milli Vanilli, was interesting and fascinating. Hearing the original version from Numarx is non the less fascinating. At the time of the 1980s the young black Hip-Hop-Band Numarx from Baltimore had very much potential. The fact like the story developed is a vivid example for the importance of advertising and promotion for artistic success. Even it is a great advantage for Musicians to have a strong and influential Label as support. And sometimes it is just a conincidence if a songs hits a nerve.
No it's not, you are just used to the MV version. He didn't do much to the song, just added background singers chorus, and the loop to make it more of a RnB song and not a rap song
There is nothing to understand...Frank Farian was a thief; a criminal hiding in an office, who took advantage of people all over the world. Utter skuz....
Ist einer Schlecht nur weil er workaholic ist? Ohne Frank würde keiner Milli vanilli noch New Marx kennen. Verkauft 100 Mio von Tonträger.. hat arme Menschen mit anfang 20 zu Welstars gemacht.. keiner ist perfekt und vielleicht hat jemand gefehlt der die Klarheit und Verständnis zwischen den Parteien bring...und so lange wir alle diese Songs lieben und selber nicht alles live miterlebt haben sollten wir über niemanden Negative urteile angeben finde ich... dafür war es dramatisch genug...ich bin Dankbar für alle die beteiligt waren dass ich diese Musik hören darf... wie Geschenk vom Universum ...RIP Robert Pilatus❤ und Frank Farian❤
They sued him and they got a cut from the Milli Vanilli record And one of the members studied the game of the music industry because of the stolen record and ended up being an exec at Def Jam Records He made Lemonade out of lemons without even knowing it
@@unrhunaw dog it was cool but it's a difference between being very good and a classic. Frank was pretty fucked up but he took this song to legendary status.
LA VERSION ORIGINAL....meses despues un Productor Aleman quien se hizo millonario y famoso con los Boney M ... quizo aplicar la misma receta con dos jovenes de raza negra el uno de origen aleman y el otro frances... el resto de la historia ya la saben...

Nemarx released 5000 copies of it. He was a new York based Producer/DJ and songwriter. The Song flopped. One Copy Got in the hands of the German Producer Frank Farian ...the Rest ist History..not enough putting two dancers that didn't sing the Song. He completely stole the Song. Nemarx Got all the royalties and Millions from Frank Farian at court
Frank Farian stated at court that He thought He bought the song.his German attourneys we're supposed to buy the rights. They never Made a contract. Frank Farian is a dickhead.
Nonsense. Farian bought the rights from the owners and could do whatever he wanted with the song. There was never a court case because there was a legally valid contract in which the creatives assigned the rights to Farian.
@@kissesbloody Mistake !!!! Farian never bought anything, copyright always belonged to Farian. But all producers know that thanks to the royalty money Numarx founded a record company called Marx Brothers Records, and that is so because there was an agreement between them. The agreement was precisely because Numarx wanted to denounce Farian after learning of Milli Vanilli's farce.
La canción es buena pero recuerden q el marketing y en la época la parte visual lo era todo ya q MTV hizo q la música no solo se escuche sino q también se vea!!! A veces sacar primero algo no quiere decir q sea mejor, sino más bien quien lo haga mejor gana!!! Existen tantos cover's q superaron las canciones originales!!!
What happens in the recently Milli Vanilli movie: “Girl you Know It's True”, is the closest depiction of how shit happened. Fab always put the full blame on Farian and Arista. But there's a known wrestler (at least here in México, called “Vampiro Canadiense”), he says he worked for them as a bodyguard. Chris Jericho always said that wasn't true, but after watching the movie, I know Vampiro is telling the truth. Vampiro said, Arista and Farian agreed to come clean to screw them up and get rid of them in the process without paying them a dime. Arista and Farian had enough of them being complete assholes. Vampiro said all they did during the little free time they had, was acting like complete assholes, getting high, drunk, and having sex. All in all, I think no one here was a victim. All of them, Fab and Rob specially, knew they were playing with fire.
This has more of an ll cool j need love voice. Frank just put real singers behind this track and tweaked the music a little then front end it with good looking dancers and the rest was history. I love this song but i love milli vanilli for what they did
@@naisi he didn't change instruments goofy, he looped the drums and added the chorus vocals in the middle of the song and not just the end to make it sound more pop or RnBb than Hip Hop/rap
The only phony who really benefited from this was the evil producer Frank Farian, and the other record company execs who got in on it. ALL of the actual artists got screwed, and Rob and Fab took all the blame.
No they sued Farian got Royalties from Milli Vanilli. One became a huge record exc at Def Jam, discovered Toni Braxton and had mad numerous hits with artist like Timbaland and still works in the music industry today
U see? If your 44 or older? When it comes to Milli Vinilli or Vanilla Ice? First thing comes me and most above 44? In Living Color sketches/parodies of both them b4 actual artists
It don't matter what it would have sold, it's literally the same exact song as the MV version goofy. And if you want a song you have to pay for it. You think because your ancestors stole everything they have it's ok for you to do it as well?
I wish The Numarxs made a music video first and give it to DICK CLARK. Maybe they would have gotten the exposure 1ST! and some of the fame that MILLI VANILLI got instead because they were the preferred image. The record company who signed C&C MUSIC FACTORY and BLACK BOX used Marsha Walsh's POWERFUL singing voice from the Weather Girls in the 90s also! 😮😮😡😡
In 1989, Milli Vanilli's cover of this song contributed to their fail. In fact that music project is the greatest music fraud of all times. There are 3 key facts that can prove this: 1) Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus didn't know the English language very well but in the songs the language was perfect (this means that they were singing in playback). 2) In July 1989, Milli Vanilli were on stage at an amusement park in the USA and they were performing "Girl You Know It's True" but, during the concert, the beginning of the refrain started to repeat itself while Milli Vanilli were going on with their performance. This accident made the spectators discover that they were actually listening to a pre-recorded track on vinyl disc. 3) In order to let the people know the truth behind the duo Milli Vanilli, their producer decided to create a band with the real singers of Milli Vanilli's songs. Because of this, the band was called The Real Milli Vanilli.
