I legit cried at the end of the doc when Fab is performing "Blame it on the Rain". Like damn, that dumbass producer could've just let them sing with some vocal lessons and Rob might still be with us.
Right!! I’ve always said they weren’t the strongest vocalists. But hell I’ve heard worse and these ppl made it. At lease Milli vanilli could carry a tune. And just like u said some vocal lessons woulda helped them!!! Rest In Peace and Power Rob!! 😢😊🖤😘🥰
Fab Morvan is an awesome dude and a real example of resilience, perseverance, and never giving up on yourself. It takes a lot of courage to live the life he’s lived and maintain his positive outlook. He’s risen above each challenge and keeps moving upward. Very inspiring guy, and he’s also an excellent singer FWIW.
In 1989 Milli Vanilli played at the L.A. Marathon. My friend and I saw them rehearsing. We just went up and watched, nobody stopped us. We got a private mini-concert. Thank you Fab and Rob! I wish they would have just let them sing, they were incredible performers. You could tell they were like brothers to each other. ❤
l am so happy that Fab has been blessed to go through the storm of Milli Vanilli. Fab you are the definition of strength, gratitude and growth. Stay blessed. Excellent interview. Been a fan since 1988 l was 17/18 years old.
@questlove What a beautiful and thoughtful episode. Fab has truly made a life for himself and it's wonderful to see. More broadly, I'm sure y'all know this already, but this body of work you have made - an oral history of (sometimes, but not always!) black music - is absolutely incredible and essential. For those of us that are Gen X or elder Millenials, it's the backstories to the soundtrack of our lives. But for the younger ones, especially the aspiring artists to be able to hear first hand about the way the industry has worked, and to learn from those that lived it in their own words is *invaluable*. For real for real, I sincerely hope you eventually find time to create a foundation or something to make sure these voices are always available for generations of artists and music lovers to hear and learn from.
I can understand that the first people that came around to do a documentary made Fabrice feel a little dirty with what they wanted to do to create a rude sensationalism of these guys. I saw the documentary, and Fabrice was absolutely fantastic, beautiful, wonderful, and so lucky. He has a beautiful family, great singing career, and most importantly, a good person who has learned that taking care of himself and has found LOVE is the most important thing. ❤️ ❤
I've known for quite some time that Frank Farian did the male Boney M vocals, so this might be the first time I've known a music history fact that Quest didn't. I'm proud of myself today lol.
Great video i have recently been interested in milli vanilli im 41 and so I used to listin the worlds view on them but here recently i been watching docs on them and realized i and the world was wrong cuz fab and rob were just done wrong and legacy lives on with fab and Rob deserves to be praised for his talent
I’m from the same island, Guadeloupe, yes being mixed with East Indian is common there. I also know the Saintes islands. Loved Fab and Rob growing up,they were huge back then. Go check his live music he’s truly talented and Farlan could have made a band with him Rob and the original singers being musicians on stage.
Another terrific episode! Happy to see Fab come out at the other end of those trying years with such a bright and forward-facing attitude. It's such a shame that Rob didn’t make it but Fab is doing them both a great service with his openness about their story and the exploitation that they and the band were put through. Milli Vanilli, along with Public Enemy, NWA, MC Hammer, Teddy Riley (and New Jack Swing) were the soundtrack to the latter half of my high-school years. A time that I cherish.
Thank you for the interview! I listened to the first few minutes because I'm a subscriber to the podcast, but then I heard you say you're on TH-cam. I got out of my car and came here. It's so nice to see Fab, and hear him speak about his experiences. I can't wait to finish watching the documentary, and I really hope to hear and see (painting?) more of his projects. So happy for him!!!
I‘m from munich and I went to Robs graveside today. It was gone. Nothing there anymore. So sad. The cross is gone and maybe the stone tablet with the names on it was just buried under snow or it’s gone as well. There is nobody taking care of it at least. Sad 😢
It was vandalized after the doc came out. The cross was stolen. Carmen does not want fans to visit it. It's a family tomb. It houses the grandparents, as well.
@@mowthpeece1 it’s at the Waldfriedhof in Munich. Eberybody can go there, there is no possibility to not allow people to visit it. Many people in Munich just go for a walk on the cemetery because it’s a very beautiful old one. So she will not be successful with her ban
There always comes a time when the truth comes into play For many people, today is that day Love doesn't cause division of itself That's a lie that came from someone else 💞
Regardless of their controversial beginnings, still it was naturally fair for Rob & Fab making their presence known in the states. Artists and peoples abroad the Diaspora linking to engage for relations is of God. Personally, I was relieved to learn we had talented brothers and sisters in Germany and France.
Not sure if the @questlove team will ever interview any South African Headz, but I now that he is fascinated by how Hip-Hop/Hip Hop/hip hop Culture spread throughout the world. I am from a sub-section of Cape Town and we got glimpes from between 80 to 82 and then bombarbed in 84. Besides movies, music videos and magazines that had snippets, we had family or freinds who had family living in exile and they would send packages. But in 1983/1984 there was a world tour of BBoy's from the US who came to our "hood" in The Cape Flats and gave BBoy classes. Then factor in the Universal Zulu Nation and the start of a Chapter in Mitchell's Plain Cape Town and things exploded. Interconnected with Zulu Nation Chapters worldwide, we shared music, magazines and VHS tapes from France to Australia to Switzerland to the UK and US. It definitely did not look like it did in the US though, as we were Headz and Headz had to try All Elements, whereas in the US it had started as individual Sub-Cultures. If you did try all Elements, you were not a true Head 😂
I remember when they did an interview and they proclaimed that they were more musically, gifted and talented than Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and that made them huge jokes in the music industry
It was Rob and he was already heavily doing drugs and in an another interview Fab explained their native language not being English at the time it was a misunderstanding they weren’t this dumb
Fab is amazing... In so many ways. This woman is offensive. For a mixed race female she hatin too much. Farian was an exploitive asshole but he loved soul. He didn't disrespect Fab because he didn't have green eyes.. Farian disrespected Rob, too! He chose universally agreed upon beauty, not "closer to his own." Rob and Fab looked NOTHING like Farian. Read up on what the world finds beautiful. It's been studied. And Shaw, et al., didn't have it. All these things make this woman look bad. But the host, excellent job! Great interview! Thank you!
Am not going to front I loved that album the production was tight, I was too young to understand what happened I just thought they were faking. But as a producer now this music industry got two young men and exploited them. That album went probably double platinum nobody went after the producers, the executives just them. Now all the jokes don’t seem funny RIP to Rob.
This guy is the poster definition of a corporate plant. He was an experiment that went wrong. Imagine that, 35 years ago. Just think what the hell is out there right now. A legion of talentless hacks that get a pass because they gradually dropped the quality on music until the newer generation have no clue what real music is and they gobble it up. I went from memorizing 100s of songs on the radio and tv until I hit my mid twenties to just refusing to pay attention to new releases anymore. Because of people like him. No my dude, you can turn 65 or 105, you will be known as that corporate plant that copy cat black american culture forever dude, like thats permanent in the annals of history bro.
pfizer is going down there quest "love", downtown julie brown type down.....you might want to jump ship.....don't worry, we won't judge you too harshly, as you are Hip Hop....like many rappers, you got fooled into collaborating with wh!te/khazaarian serial killers, like the one's at pfizer....is travis kelce going to be doing guest spots on Roots albums now? Peace to Black Though though, Top 11 Emcees of all time!

@@larhondaburchett3271Jlo and her ghost singers. Still sounds like crap live
I don't even have the words. To reach the heights and the depths, but still have such positive energy and enthusiasm...more power to dude.
yeah, working with the serial killer khazaar's at pfizer.....yeah, such positive energy.....lol
This brother hasn’t aged AT ALL!!!!

Much love to Questlove for giving Fab a platform to share his history, talent, and wisdom.
This dude is so awesome! Sharp as a tack!
It's wonderful to see Fab sharing his life as well musical experience
Thank you for the upload 🙏🏽

Really a smart and heartwarming, strong person. Inspiring
Respect to both brothers. Yall was born with talent.
I do enjoy how much of a safe space QLS is. I’ve been looking forward to watching this doc
I've known for quite some time that Frank Farian did the male Boney M vocals, so this might be the first time I've known a music history fact that Quest didn't. I'm proud of myself today lol.
1:07:57 Salute to healthy parent & child bonds that put this into action. Thank you for the whole episode.
God bless you Fab. Take care.
💜💜💜💜 - So much love was felt in this conversation. Yes it takes someone to ask the right questions ( and listen with a curious heart )
Terrific interview. The new documentary is fantastic.

It is sad to hear that😢.And thanks for the info. I was thinking to visit and give flowers on Rob’s grave in Munich.

Does nobody else see how similar his face is to late 70s Michael Jackson, just the nose and cheeks are different.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance
Yeah, his eyes are very similar too.
And he sounds just like him, too.
Years ago I was DJ’Ing a club in New York. Rob walked in with two beautiful girls. He could’ve had pretty much any girl in that club that night.
Well, that's an understatement.
Hasn’t aged a day
51:45 If you watch the Grammy performance they are actually live on the mic during the intro
I remember when they did an interview and they proclaimed that they were more musically, gifted and talented than Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and that made them huge jokes in the music industry
It was Rob and he was already heavily doing drugs and in an another interview Fab explained their native language not being English at the time it was a misunderstanding they weren’t this dumb
there's no way 'an Oberheim keyboard' in 1989 had enough memory to hold all the vocals for those shows...I'm so confused...
Damn… now I want to know too!
Fab is amazing... In so many ways.
This woman is offensive. For a mixed race female she hatin too much.

Yes one of the original singers who was actual friends with the producer said he always thought Farlan was a Black man at heart.
I watched the docudrama, all I can say is greed is a Mutha Funka...🎸

You lack 33 years of knowledge about what Fabrice has been doing. Wow.
Yes Rob and Fab copied cat Black American culture and looked good doing it too!!!
Is it him talking or someone else's voice lol
Lol😂
Whomp whomp
@chinbeats..Fab is a born French man, grew up in Germany were he met Rob ..Yes that's his voice 😀
Very good
Very funny…
