"...Farian had recorded the first songs for MV's debut album before he'd even cast the two faces with all the right moves..."
"Fab and Rob received a fee for performing, for appearances. And the only one who made residuals, the majority of where you make your money as a singer, is Brad Howell, the lead vocalist because he was part of a union. Everybody else received nothing other than their recording session. So Frank Farian received the lion's share of everything that was made off Milli Vanilli." — Luke Korem, director, Milli Vanilli (film)
